Sure.
As I mounted the music folder from an SMB share, Iāve mounted the folder to /config/media directly.
and the URL to outside from HA seems like /media/media/xxx.mp3
The folder in /config/ can be shared with any other docker which also accessible from the host, I mounted it in my host machine (ubuntu) with /etc/rc.local, as there is root issue in core docker.
HA Conf
homeassistant:
media_dirs:
media: /config/media
Please notice that you may also need to configure the external_url and internal_url if the music doesnāt play, more info to turn on debugging logs for media_player and related components.
Steps
- Install node-red-contrib-dir2files in node-red, the version I installed is 0.3.0.
- Create the input_boolean.music_time switch button in HA ā Configuration ā Helpers.
- Parse the node-red code below (N-R) to your node-red.
- Change the media_player entity to yours.
- Change the JS replace funcation content in ādeal with urlā function to your local media folder.
Feature
- Shuffling music / Stop playing to Google Home / Nest by toggle the music_time button.
- Shuffling music / Stop playing by telling Google Home / Nest to turn on/off āMusic Timeā (google_assistant linked with HA required).
- Stop the music playing (e.g āHey Google, Stopā) to media_player will stop shuffling music automatically.
- Pause the music playing (e.g. āHey Google, pause musicā) to media_player will shuffling the next song automatically.
- Play the next song by simply calling service media_player.media_stop or media_player.media_pause
Tell google to stop playing by voice will turn off the media player, it is different with media_stop. Thatās why it is no conflicts above features. The whole setup is perfect for me, hope it could solve your shuffling local music problem.
