🔌 Media Player Hook - Control any media player (play/pause, volume, prev/next track) with one of the supported controllers

I can start the TuneIn stream with a Center button short press but I cannot find the right command to stop a radio stream.

I tried center long press, center double press with
media_player.media_pause
media_player.media_play_pause
media_player.media_stop
media_player.turn_off
but it does not completely stop the stream. It actually stops the stream for 2 seconds and it resumes :confused:

Here is the controller :

Hello,

is it possible to use this controller with Styrbar IKEA E2001/E2002 via deconz/phoscon?
It doesnt show up in the list of selectable devices?

Best regard,
Stefan

Same problem here

This automation was working great for a long time but seems to have stopped working correctly after some Home Assistant update.

I’m using IKEA E1744 Symfonisk rotary remote, via ZHA, to control my SONOS. The button press to play/stop still works, however volume up/down is no longer received by the Sonos integration.

I’m currently on:
HA 2023.8.3
Controller - IKEA E1744 SYMFONISK Rotary Remote ver. 2022-8-8
Hook - Media Player ver. 2022-7-30

When I turn the remote knob, these are the logs generated:

Any ideas what’s preventing the volume adjustment from reaching the media player?

So can I assume this blueprint is abandoned? No activity in the updates or community discussion for a whole year. Is there a better integration for the IKEA Sonos remote now? Thanks
