🎧 Lovelace Podcast Card/Plugin for gPodder

DavidFW1960 · May 19, 2020, 12:32am

Ian are you going to fix the ‘error inside the event loop’ error?

iantrich · May 19, 2020, 11:45am

it’s not a high priority for me at the moment

Jtarche · May 23, 2020, 8:49pm

Does it need gpodder? Anyone using it without gpodder (no cloud), e.g. 100% local podcast subscription?

More errors with 0.110.2

GitHub is the place to report bugs. That being said, I don’t anticipate working on this anytime soon. I’ve got a lot on my plate at the moment. Hopefully someone in the community can submit a PR.

DavidFW1960 · May 27, 2020, 12:33am

I have reported it there.

Understood. I’ll just delete it for now.

Still fairly new to HA and I really like this plugin. Is there a way to configure the plugin so I can choose which source I would like the podcast to play on within the card? I currently have a card for each speaker, but this isn’t ideal.

iantrich · June 1, 2020, 9:28pm

Click on the speaker icon

nanophd · June 1, 2020, 11:15pm

Nice! Thanks… the problem was/is the speaker icon isn’t displaying, but clicking on the area where the icon should be shows my speaker options.

iantrich · June 1, 2020, 11:26pm

ah, yeah core changed that icon type to dynamically load. I’ll see if I can do a quick patch tonight.

iantrich · July 5, 2020, 6:00pm

Fixed in 1.1.0

iantrich · July 7, 2020, 7:47pm

Version 2.0.0: Breaking Change: Move to UI
With this update, YAML configurations are no longer supported and the integration has moved to being configured via the UI

dicko · July 8, 2020, 12:59pm

Hi

What does this mean ? I cant see anything in HA and have upgraded to version 2 in HACS

What do I need to do please ?

Thanks Martyn

iantrich · July 8, 2020, 1:11pm

As I noted right above, it is a breaking change. Remove the YAML configuration and add it via the UI

dicko · July 8, 2020, 1:20pm

Hi

Just guessed afterwards it maybe in Integrations.

Just installed and removed the old yaml and rebooted and still nothing in sensors or names gpodder in developer tools. No entities.

You have to make sure the name is in the same format as the one registered on gpodder.

All working now.

Thanks

Martyn

I also had an issue with getting the entity of sensor.gpodder to work and just wanted to report back what my problem was as it cost me some hours to figure it out. It might help someone else!

you need to use your username, NOT the email address for the credentials in gpodder. Seems obvious, but still!!

My intention is to create an automation that will play a different podcast each morning and hope that your plugin will be helpful with this!!! Thank you!

Where i add the username’s gpodder?

I just istall gpodder with hacs, then i add the following, with manual card:

type: “custom:podcast-card”
entity: sensor.gpodder
name: Ian’s Podcasts
default_target: media_player.office_home
show_player: True
custom_player: True

I have “Entity not available: sensor.gpodder”

I do not know what to do more, reinstall the gpodder on hacs?

dicko · September 28, 2020, 12:04am

Hi

How did you get the source to be 2 echos or dots ?

Cant fathom how.

Thanks

Martyn

dicko · September 30, 2020, 1:18pm

Hi

I have everything set up. I have the gpodder account and can see all my subscribed podcasts but how do I play them on any of the echo’s or dots I have around the house.

I have alexa media and Mini Media player installed from HACS but something is not quite right ?

I also cant TTS anything either.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Martyn

I am running into the same issue. Did you find a resolution?
