Media_player.template

[R_T (Raymond Toussaint)]

Nope, it reads a friends online status, so that would require Nintendo online services.

@Sennevds
the orig. instructions states a ‘template’ directory and in the post linked below ‘media_player_template’ is written. Which one is it?

Media_player.template

Hi @Sennevds, I’m looking to test out your component but having some issues installing it. Are your installation instructions still accurate? I still need to copy all the files from https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/template into \custom_components\template directory? I saw there is a manifest.json and __init__.py file in your repo. Should that replace the files in the \template\ directory? Also, is there any way to set other attributes like entity_pictur…

[jnbrn]

Noob-Question: How do I download the files from the GitHub components folder?

[tombom (tom)]

hi i just found this the other day and i am loving it thanks to everyone involved in making this. this should really be a core function of HASSIO imo.

one question though: is this integration still maintained? On Github it says discontinued?

reason i am asking is that i am missing one feature: “Browse Media” for the media player. it would be awesome to have this

[reste_narquois (Chris Warne)]

The code owner is still active on GitHub, so the ‘not maintained’ label is a bit misleading.

There was a PR merged 2 weeks ago, but it appears not to have been versioned yet. I’m sure you know, but just in case, you’ll either need to download manually to get it, or make sure you install the ‘master’ version via HACS.

If you post your feature request as an issue on GitHub with the ‘enhancement’ label, it might get some attention - there are other coders who seem to be submitting PRs.

[Sennevds]

I’m the original creator of the integration. I’m not actively maintaining the integration myself but if someone creates a PR I will review it and merge it.

[tombom (tom)]

is it somehow possible to increase the button size (play, pause, next, etc) ?

i suppose i would have to edit the code of the integration itself?

[Sennevds]

The integration does nothing with the UI it’s only the connection between home assistant and a external device

[tombom (tom)]

thanks for the clarification.

then i guess this won’t be possible

[milkplus (Mike)]

Did you ever get this working? I also have a TDAI and would love to get it working in some fashion in HA but am struggling to figure out how…

[borez]

I did manage to get this to work. In summary, Lyngdorf has a tcp interface to receive commands. I set up media_template to interface with a Node-RED interface via MQTT commands.

That said, someone is in the works to create a full Lyngdorf integration - am eagerly waiting for that!

GitHub - fishloa/lyngdorf: Python library to control a Lyngdorf Processor

---

First, you’ll need to create some sensors using MQTT (to receive the tcp commands and volume control), and also a boolean status to detect power mode:

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "TDAI-TCP"
     state_topic: "/tdai/tcp"
   - name: "TDAI-SetVol"
     state_topic: "/tdai/setvolume"

input_boolean:
  tdai_powerstatus:
    name: TDAI Power
    icon: mdi:receiver
    initial: off

This is the media template configuration. Not everything is working but it suffices for me.

media_player:
  - platform: media_player_template
    media_players:
      tdai_1120:
        friendly_name: TDAI-1120
        device_class: receiver
        current_source_template: "{{ states('sensor.tdai_1120_source') }}"
        current_volume_template: "{{ states('sensor.tdai_1120_volume') }}"
        value_template: >
          {% if is_state("input_boolean.tdai_powerstatus", "on") -%}
            on
          {%- else -%}
            off
          {%- endif %}
        turn_on:
          service: mqtt.publish
          data:
            topic: "tdai/tcp"
            payload: "!ON"
        turn_off:
          service: mqtt.publish
          data:
            topic: "tdai/tcp"
            payload: "!OFF"
        volume_up:
          service: mqtt.publish
          data:
            topic: "tdai/tcp"
            payload: "!VOLUP"
        volume_down:
          service: mqtt.publish
          data:
            topic: "tdai/tcp"
            payload: "!VOLDN"
        inputs:
          Computer:
           service: mqtt.publish
           data:
            topic: "tdai/tcp"
            payload: "!SRC(6)"
          Spotify:
           service: mqtt.publish
           data:

            payload: "!SRC(8)"
          Chromecast:
           service: mqtt.publish
           data:
            topic: "tdai/tcp"
            payload: "!SRC(7)"
        set_volume:
          service: input_text.set_value
          data:
            entity_id: input_text.selected_volume
            value: "{{volume}}"
        mute:
          service: mqtt.publish
          data:
            topic: "tdai/tcp"
            payload: "!MUTE"
#          service: input_number.set_value
#          data:
#            entity_id: input_number.selected_is_muted
#            value: "{{is_muted}}"
#        current_is_muted_template: >
#          {{ states('input_boolean.is_muted') }}
#        album_art_template: "{{ states('input_text.album_art') }}"
#        title_template: "{{ states('input_text.title') }}"
#        album_template: "{{ states('input_text.album') }}"
#        artist_template: "{{ states('input_text.artist') }}"    

Lastly, you need to install Node-RED, and import the code here. You will need to update all nodes indicated “TDAI TCP” with your TDAI’s IP address.

I got my current Netflix activity in a mediaplayer template card with this

Now I’m going to try and supply some sort of epsiode image to it and find a way to trigger the node-red flow to fill it.This will be a bigger challenge

[kritikos24 (kritike)]

does anybody have any idea how to set this up with a denon pma 900 hne? it uses heos integration, i am trying to get speaker a, b, and a+b buttons.

i was able to telnet into the amp and see these commands when i press the speaker button on the actual amp.

• PSSPK A

• PSSPK B

• PSSPK AB

• PSSPK OFF

there is no button on the remote for speaker(s) and the heos app does not show back a command when switching the toggle

thank you!

[enry86cami (enrico)]

Hello,
with the entity “number.omnilink_zone_2_volume” I can adjust my media player volume but with this configuration the volume selection doesn’t work:

media_player:
  platform: media_player_template
  media_players:
    2bagno:
      value_template: >
        {% if is_state("switch.omnilink_zone_2", "on") -%}
          on
        {%- else -%}
          off
        {%- endif %}
      turn_on:
        service: switch.turn_on
        data_template:
          entity_id: switch.omnilink_zone_2
      turn_off:
        service: switch.turn_off
        data_template:
          entity_id: switch.omnilink_zone_2
      set_volume:
        service: number.set_value
        data:
          entity_id: number.omnilink_zone_2_volume
          value: "{{volume}}"

what am I doing wrong?

[tonynogs]

Looks like you are trying to set up with omnilink now that it has support for audio. Please let me know how it goes for you, so far I’m not sure how to get this to work. I’ve installed Media_player.template but I’m not sure where to put the config you have above. I was hoping I would see a media entity that I could make a card for using the Mushroom Media Card.

[Mr.ToR (Tonguç Endem)]

Did you find a solution to this?

If you can telnet into your device, I’m thinking you should also be able to ssh into it as well, right? If yes, then you should be able to configure a shell_command integration in your configuration.yaml like the following.

shell_command:
  shutdown_macmini3: ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/config/.ssh/known_hosts -i /config/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected] sudo shutdown -h now

To get this to work, you need to first add the ssh login credentials of the device into a local UserKnownHostsFile, so it won’t ask for a password and simply would do a login-and-run-command action.

So in the above example, when I press a button, macmini shuts down.

Similar thing is also possible for JSON commands using a rest_command integration if your receiver supports them.
which would be something like the following.
This example selects source input of a bias led device in my case (usb_capture or led_device).

rest_command:
  hyperhdr_usb_capture:
    url: http://192.168.xx.xx:8090/json-rpc
    method: POST
    headers:
      accept: 'application/json, text/html'
      user-agent: 'Mozilla/5.0 {{ useragent }}'
    payload: '{ "command":"componentstate", "componentstate": { "component":"VIDEOGRABBER", "state": {{ state }} } }'
    content_type:  'application/json; charset=utf-8'
  hyperhdr_led_device:
    url: http://192.168.xx.xx:8090/json-rpc
    method: POST
    headers:
      accept: 'application/json, text/html'
      user-agent: 'Mozilla/5.0 {{ useragent }}'
    payload: '{ "command":"componentstate", "componentstate": { "component":"LEDDEVICE", "state": {{ state }} } }'
    content_type:  'application/json; charset=utf-8'

I hope this helps.

[Mr.ToR (Tonguç Endem)]

@kritikos24

denon pma 900 hne

Hi again, it seems that amp does not support JSON API or the ssh but only uses the ancient telnet method.

You will have to use the telnet integration.

Telnet

You should be able to do what you want this way.
Maybe you might want to use buttons instead of switches.
However, If your amp asks for a password with telnet, I don’t know how the telnet integration supports passwords.

Please leave some feedback and also tell me how i can do it without knowing the app package name

[alexbeatle]

Is there a way to launch an app on android tv using this? E.g. call app package name to open?

Perhaps this can be upgraded to media_player - using the following homebridge as an example? https://github.com/fantasytu/homebridge-xgimi-tv/tree/master I used their format to send custom command which allowed me to launch apps. Replace: self._advance_command = str({"action": 20000, "controlCmd": {"data": "command_holder", "delayTime": 0, "mode": 5, "time": 0, "type": 0}, "msgid": "2"}) with self._advance_command = str({"action": 20000, "controlCmd": {"data": "command_holder", "delayTime"…
