Media Players

khadley · May 28, 2016, 5:11pm

I am new to HA want to use it possibly with wink (moving from Smartthings) I am trying to get my Sonos and Chromecast devices to work. I have tried multiple different methods. I have 2 android TVs and 2 chromecasts. None of the show up even if I only try one at a time. I am using manual detection. If anyone can let me know what im doing wrong. Here is what I have currently

# Googlecast 
mediaplayer:
  - platform: sonos
  - platform: cast
    host: 192.168.86.191
  - platform: cast
    host: 192.168.86.123

Formatting looks off. Try this


# Googlecast 
media_player:
- platform: sonos
- platform: cast
  host: 192.168.86.191
- platform: cast
  host: 192.168.86.123

I am having no luck with this. It says it cant find the media player component.

I get that error all the time on my Windows installation yet discovery found everything. Huh? Even have a known devices file.

atomicpapa · May 29, 2016, 2:28am

try

media_player:
  - platform: cast
    host: 192.168.1.9
  - platfor....

Note the _ in media_player

Facepalm. A silly underscore…

But now

I even tried to install pychromecast.

Other commands I tried
sudo pip3 install py3-protobuffers
sudo pip3 install pychromecast

pip3 install homeassistant
pip3 install --upgrade pip

dennisaion · May 29, 2016, 1:15pm

Do

sudo pip3 install homeassistant
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip

I have been having recent mediaplayer issues as well (2 chromecasts in the house, HA only finds one. LGWEBOSTV not recognized either)

khadley · May 29, 2016, 8:02pm

Ya It says already installed and that I’m up to date. But still says cant run media_player because it can’t install pychromecast even though I have manually installed it.

Khaztr · June 12, 2017, 4:23pm

Same problem here, on a Windows installation. It’s a big bummer since connecting to my Google Home was the main reason I installed this. It’s sad that there’s no warning on HA’s site stating that a Windows installation is prone to have compatibility issues. Time to install it on a Raspberry Pi I guess…
