Music Assistant not showing up on the sidebar

Configuration
1

I’ve installed music assistant with hacs but i cannot find it’s sidebar entry.

the mass directory IS under the custom_components

I have using docker to run home assistant on an X86 linux machine

i have restarted home assistant twice now, cleared my browser’s cache and tried firefox, chrome on linux; edge on windows and the app on ipad - no visibility

suggestions?.

Have you followed these configuration steps:

it turns out I did not follow the instructions - my brain lumped together the HACS “install this repository” with the Integrations, “download this repository”

So, as soon as I went to integrations and installed it, I saw Music Assistant on my side bar.

thank you for the reality check.

Hmm, I seem to be having the same ‘Brain block’ with this one.
I have followed the instructions up to ’ Go to Configuration → Integrations and click the big + button’ (After rebooting)
where do I find Configuration → Integrations ? (back in HACS?)
I can find ‘Music Assistant’ in HACS/Intergrations and the ‘mass’ directory using Studio code server so it seems I have sucsessfully downloaded correctly.
It’s not obvious where the ‘install this repository’ is.

Any pointers?

Settings in your side bar → Devices and Services → Add Integration button in bottom right corner

ok, I figured it … but thank you for replying.
Maybe the author should reword the instructions to make it clearer.

Hopefully someone will come across this post and find it useful.

Thanks again.

i have had to use the panel iframe within the configuration.yaml file to get MA in HA sidebar:

panel_iframe:
  music_assistant:   
    title: "Music Assistant"   
    url: "http://localhost:8095/#/home"   
    icon: mdi:music

This is not in the documentation either

I’m also having an issue with Music Assistant not showing in the sidebar, I can access the web interface manually though. I’ve tried adding it via panel_iframe and panel_custom, still doesn’t work.

I think I’ve traced it to the fact that I access Home Assistant via HTTPS and panel_iframe can’t access a HTTP iframe/site. Since I can’t put the music assistant server on HTTPS, I’m curious how others have handled this?

Possibly dumb solution, but after I installed Music Assistant I had to go to Home Assistant->Settings->Add-ons. Then Music Assistant->Show in sidebar.

Wow … nailed it :wink:

Don’t forget https if it’s external.

Music assistant is built with http only so https will not work

That did it for me. The address in the address bar then works as the address for a Lovelace Web Page card (e.g. http://localhost:8123/d5369777_music_assistant_beta/ingress).

EDIT: A better way to show in a dashboard is to enable the web server in Music Assistant/Settings/Core. To get to this you need to show it in the sidebar first. The address is then http://localhost:8095/#/home.

Installed The MA server as per instruction with Docker-compose. Server up and running. Via HACS downloaded the music assistant HA integration. After download did a restart, after integration did a restart. And after that a number of restarts of HA. No MA in sidebar. Integrated the information on the configuration.yaml file as I have done for other integrations, still no sidebar icon in HA.

Is it maybe that the side bar is not displayed due to the docker installation?
How do I start the setup without the side bare?

Solved as it runs in Docker I needed to use the brouwser.
