Hi all,
Basically, I am trying to include a volume slider on my remote, but I can’t get it to behave like I want on the mobile companion app (but it works perfectly fine on the web gui).
I’ll try to keep this simple and provide a timeline
- I have a relatively complex android remote with a volume slider. The slider works on web but always gives the following error on companion app
Failed to call service media_player/volume_set. not a valid value for dictionary value @data[‘entity_id’]
-
I’ve tried numerous test variations without being able to get it to work consistently (it may work after a test implementation, then stop working a minute later).
-
Even on the most simple iteration, I get the same error (again, on companion app only).
type: custom:android-tv-card
slider_id: media_player.living_room_tv
rows:
- slider
- I sort of gave up and re-installed the app.
- Now it works, sort of.
- No longer do I get the error, but it still behaves oddly. As I slide the volume, it will only change the volume on the device to the LAST volume I slid it too.
example:
Volume Slider on App: 10 - 55 - 33 - 21 - 18 - 5 - 50
Volume on TV/device: x - 10 - 55 - 33 - 21 - 18 - 5
Remember, everything works fine on the Web GUI, but it behaves so unusually on the companion app. At first I thought it was a coding issue, but it just seems to be some app or settings issue.
Any thoughts? any help?
thanks!
