Media_player.play_media

Griesi · May 16, 2019, 8:07pm

Hi all, I would stream music, video to my TV (Sony Androdie) or to my ONKY.

I tryed by Service Data e.g.

{
   "entity_id": "media_player.musikserver", "http://live-icy.gss.dr.dk/A/A29H.mp3":"music"
}


  - alias: 1234 test
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        to: "on"
        entity_id: input_boolean.test2
    action:
      service: media_player.musikserver
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.nursery
        media_id: http://www.soundjay.com/nature/sounds/rain-07.mp3
        media_type: music

…but no change on my TV or at stereo.

Device is connected by the DLNA component.

Thanks in advance!

This should probably be media_player.play_media

And this should be media_content_id: http://www.soundjay.com/nature/sounds/rain-07.mp3

And this should be media_content_type: music

rrrrr*** I did a lot of tests…copy pate mistake… this is my config:

  - alias: 1234 test
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        to: "on"
        entity_id: input_boolean.test2
    action:
      service: media_player.play_media
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.musikserver
        media_id: http://www.soundjay.com/nature/sounds/rain-07.mp3
        media_type: music

I tryed with DLNA, KODI and Onkyo.

Griesi · May 17, 2019, 8:41pm

Error message is: Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘media_id’]

nickrout · May 18, 2019, 9:52am

That is because there is no such attribute for media_player.play_media called media_id. Read @tjntomas’s post.

Griesi · May 18, 2019, 7:19pm

Thanks! I updated the automation and now I got following error. You have any help for me?

  - alias: "con2 media_player.musikserver"

Home Assistant encountered a problem while attempting to play the media on your DLNA device.

nickrout · May 18, 2019, 8:02pm

What device is the player?

Griesi · May 19, 2019, 1:26pm

1x Sony Bravia TV (Smart TV with Androide)
1x Onky TX-8150

I tryed, direct to select the device, DLNA and Kodi…

nickrout · May 19, 2019, 7:50pm

Which component? There are 67 different media_player components.

Griesi · May 19, 2019, 8:53pm

Here are my media config:

platform: onkyo
host: 192.168.x.xx
name: onkyo_receiver
max_volume: 50
sources:
dab: “Radio”
network: “Internet”
cd: “CD Player”
dlna: “DLNA”
usb: “USB-Port”

platform: dlna_dmr
url: http://192.168.xxxxxxxxxx
name: TV_DLNA

platform: dlna_dmr
url: http://192.168.xxxxxxxxx
name: Musik Server

platform: dlna_dmr
url: http://192.168.xxxxxxxxxxxxx
name: Onkyo_DLNA

platform: braviatv
host: 192.168.xxxxxxxx

platform: kodi
host: 192.168.xxxx
name: Onkyo_PLAY

nickrout · May 19, 2019, 10:32pm

You really need to learn how to post your code properly.

So you are trying to play to this device. What is it? ie what device?

What do you get when you put the url into your browser, or fetch it with curl or wget?

123 · May 19, 2019, 11:08pm

Please

for

mat
your

            - code

so

```
  it           is 
```

easier

for others

to read

Griesi · May 20, 2019, 7:49pm

Firmware Update of my Onkyo was the solution

Thanks to all and for my next post, I try my best for publishing the code .

123 · May 20, 2019, 9:33pm

How is this a “solution”?

No one knows what version of Onkyo firmware you were using nor what version you now have.

More details would be appreciated.

Griesi · May 21, 2019, 3:45pm

Sure

Device: Onky TX-8150
Firmware update to 1040-2000-0000
HA Component: DLNA

Test by the service dev tool :

{
  "entity_id": "media_player.onkyo_receiver",
  "media_content_type": "music",
  "media_content_id": "http://live-icy.gss.dr.dk/A/A12H.mp3"
}

If it helps someone with the same media_player.media_play error or “extra keys not allowed” error, when you add a new action on an automation (via Home Assistant (0.103.5) automation wizard, not YAML) on Actions “Services” drop down box there are both media_player.media_play and media_player.play_media items.

As @tjntomas said, you should use media_player.play_media with this attributes

ojalaj · December 19, 2020, 10:03pm

Hi. Sorry to reply to this old thread, but I’m having troubles to do something same you have done.

I have Onkyo TX-NR609 (2011). I’m not sure, which combination of HA components you are using, when you got this working. Are you using Onkyo platform? DLNA-dmr platform? If the latter one, what is the url in your config?
