Media Player platform for Mopidy

elle2 · February 7, 2021, 10:55am

@bushvin, if I use the last update (Feb 6,2021) I’ve always the error when browsing local library.
Instead the commit on Feb 4 2021 is ok.

Apologies, I have been cleaning up the code to be more aligned to the project’s coding requirements.

Should work now.

I tried to get this working today and got an error:

Logger: homeassistant.components.hassio
Source: components/hassio/__init__.py:420
Integration: Hass.io (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 9:15:58 AM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 9:15:58 AM

Platform error media_player.mopidy - No module named 'mopidyapi'

I have the custom component installed, have rebooted and my config is quite simple:

media_player:
  - platform: mopidy
    host: 192.168.1.56
    name: mopidy

I’m running HassOS 2021.2.1
Can anyone see what I’m missing?
Thanks

Did you copy all files, including manifest.json? Does your Home Assistant server have access to the internet?

The mopidyapi module is’t fetched from pypi.

danbutter · February 7, 2021, 4:53pm

I copied the whole folder named mopidy into the custom components folder.
Yes my HA install has internet access.

anything I can test?

This weird, indeed.
How did you install Home Assistant?

@danbutter please try this
Do NOT configure the integration in your configuration.yaml
Instead just copy the files as adviced by @bushvin
Then restart HA
Only then configure the integration in the yaml
Then restart again

I’m running HassOS in a VM. Host is proxmox.

danbutter · February 8, 2021, 12:20am

That seems to have worked! Thanks!

bushvin · February 8, 2021, 7:03am

Excellent!

Thank you @dikt for your solution!

…had the same issue. I do not know, whether this is just how integrations work in general.
By the way: If you want to make it a “standard integration” into HA core, it has to have a grafical setup without configuration.yaml entry (Though nobody needs that. That’s my way of saying “I don’t need it”)

bushvin · February 8, 2021, 8:11am

sweet… I had no idea the MPD platform had a graphical interface to set up

Burningstone · February 8, 2021, 8:14am

The MPD doesn’t have it, because it already existed when it was decided to move device integrations from YAML to config flow.
New integrations must use config flow and YAML config will not be accepted by the core devs.

Am I missunderstanding something here? When checking in Mopidy server (through Iris) while listening to RockRadio stream, the artist and title data are displayed there normally.

But at the same time in the platform (shown through mini media player custom card) in HA there is only the name of streaming radio station and no artist/title details…

Is it supposed to be so?

Felipe_Messias · February 12, 2021, 2:14am

very good, thank you @bushvin , I will test and give you feedback and forgive me for the delay in the response

Felipe_Messias · February 12, 2021, 2:38am

this works soooo well thanks @bushvin , made everything much easier

Burningstone · February 12, 2021, 6:21am

This is probably a configuration issue in the mini media player card, mine shows artist and title just fine:

AdmiralStipe · February 12, 2021, 7:54am

Hmmm, is it possible, that some Mopidy server setting causes this and not the player? Because I have the same problem even in default HA media player card…

Burningstone · February 12, 2021, 8:21am

Maybe it’s because it’s played from a radio station.

AdmiralStipe · February 12, 2021, 8:31am

That’s what I meant… because playing local mp3 file works just fine, just streaming radio stations does not…
But is it a feature or a bug in this platform?
