EDIT:
I updated to 2.1.1 and After enabling the web server on port :8095. It appears going to the web server first fixed the HAOS page : :8123/d5369777_music_assistant/ingress
I did not enable the web server with 2.0.7 and 2.1.0.

Fixed:
After updating to 2.1.0 the radio browser keep refreshing, switching from one blank page with a spin wheel, then back to to Music assistant page with a spin wheel. Also after updating I lost all my saved stations from the radio browser.

I also tried it a vm test box and the same results.
What I’m doing is:
I’m going to the bottom right corner of Music assistant page β€œBrowse”, then in the folder list I click β€œradiobrowser” Then β€œby Tag”. That is where the page just spins.
It happens with β€œby popularity” and β€œby country” as well.

I would love to use this integration, but would love Echo’s to work playing the music, this is the main reason i want to use this to play music I have at home.

i’m still looking to solve my issue with a dissapearing google home…(Music Assistant 2.0: Your Music, Your Players - #722 by ptrnmgr)
Is anyone here able to see (when expanding speaker group in MA) a first generation google home speaker in a speaker group?

curious why when viewing artist it has all sorts of other unrelated artist

all my stuff is meticulously tagged properly with beets and only music assistant seems confused Plex jellyfin all see correct stuff too

You will need to review the actual tag values and folder structure can be a factor if you have placed every album you have in one folder.

using lidarr structure

each artist has its own folder and then each album is in its own foldr

{Artist Name}{ (Artist Disambiguation)}

and each album is it’s own folder and each track is like this

{Artist Name} - {Album Type} - {Release Year} - {Album Title}{ (Album Disambiguation)}/{medium:00}{track:00} - {Track Title}

OK I haven’t heard of anyone with a folder structure like that so that might be it. You could so some experiments by moving them to just a artist/album/track format and see if that improves things. Remove the provider between tests (or reinstall MA) so the db is clear

Is this folder structure breaking things? If so i cannot really change it it cause of my lidarr/Plex integration which kinda sucks if so. the tags are all setup properly so one would think it would be indexed properly but happy to try whatever you would like if it doesn’t change file structure.

Potentially but I can’t test. You will need to try changing one and see if it makes a difference. For example, I see that you have the folder name as β€œBad Omens (metalcore band)” when the band name is just β€œBad Omens”. MA tries to extract info from the folder names so this might be impacting things. If the artists that don’t have the brackets (e.g. β€œ4 Non Blonds” and β€œ50 Cent”) work OK then that would be a clue.

makes sense but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to matter 50cent and others still show wonky

what’s best way to reset and try things fresh?. delete addon and resetup from scratch?

Yes. And then I would create a share with just say Bad Omens and Queen and see if they get combined. If they do then you need to look at the tags. For example does Beets include all the MusicBrainz tags?

Edit I found in an old post this:

beets recognises (and thus sets) less tags than Picard. (This is one of the reasons I run files through Picard first.) (Also note that beets’ file naming is less flexible/β€œpowerful” than Picard’s, so if you’re doing very intricate filenaming, beets may not be able to replicate that.)

So that may be the issue (although maybe things have changed in the years since that was posted…?)

Hello Community, i need some help.

My Sonos speakers are not recognized by Music Assistant. I have chosen the following procedure. Installed HACS integration (Beta 2024.7.1.b0), then installed and started the addon (also Beta 2.20b0). MA is then recognized as an integration. I installed Apple Music as the music provider, which works smoothly. Then installed Sonos as playback device provider but nothing works.
However, if I install Home Assistant Media Players, I can control my Sonos speakers as they are also available as an integration under Home Assistant.
Has anyone had the same problem and been able to solve it?

Thanks for your help
Moss




If you have a mix of Gen 1 and Gen2 speakers that can be a problem. The Sonos provider is currently being completely rewritten

Hi, thanks for your answer.

I have no gen 1 in my home.

1x Sonos One 2. gen
1x Sonos Move 2
1x Sonos Roam
1 x Arc
1 x Sub 3. gen
1 x Era 100
2 x Era 300

so I think I figured it out it appears to be the default if albumartist id3 tag is missing bring various artists that monkey wrenches everything for everyone. I’ve never known that to be missing much less a problem.

not exactly sure why that would be default considering what a mess it makes but I uninstalled resetup with that being set up use track artist which honestly seems like it should be the default but all seems to be working it’s still scanning but all my stuff seems to be perfect if has done now

Hi all,
Not sure if this has been asked before but I am unable to get any player providers to work.

HA is running on a VM and was hoping that this would work in the same way that the radio browser works - it plays audio through the PC/device that I’m using HA on.

Can anyone please provide me with some input as to how I would get MA to work in the same way that the radio browser works?

I recommend you wait until the new Sonos provider is released.
