Hi all,
Would love to see support for the current generation of Panasonic 4k Bluray players (UB420/820/9000) in the panasonic_bluray integration. They have a network port so there is definitely connectivity.

I still didn’t find any useful info regarding UB820 and web access. The only I’ve manage to get is scanning ports in my LAN:
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
9080/tcp open http Mongoose httpd
Running: Linux 3.X|4.X
OS CPE: cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel:3 cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel:4
OS details: Linux 3.11 - 4.1
Making request to this address, on this port, results in response application/json header but the response itself is simply status=ok.
My Panasonic UB820 bluray player is not one of the models listed as compatible on this platform and does not work. There is one question I do have. In the HA Developer Tools/States there is this entry:
supported_features: 20865
What is the significance of the numeric entry here?
This is defying my understanding. I have edited my configuration.yaml file to include the panasonic_bluray media player definition but I cannot get HA to pass the configuration check. I have commented out the entries and uncommented them sequentially, testing the config on each step. When the first two lines are uncommented the configuration check recognizes the panasonic_bluray platform and only complains that the host: entry is missing. Nothing I have tried with the host: entry changes the err…

### The problem
Any chance of adding support for the UB 420/820 Panasonic Blu… ray players? I have added my 820 to the integration by IP and it does not detect the state of the player. I don't see any error messages in the logs. Happy to help with any testing.

Old post, and late reply, but just in case you or anyone else is getting stumped…
check out a python module called panacotta (that is what the integration is using). https://pypi.org/project/panacotta/
You have to make sure you allow remote connections to your blu-ray in Network settings:
I have an older DMP-BDT220, but it works for what I need it to do. I am trying to figure out how to get prev/next/eject to work, but the Integration is pretty clear that the existing core Integration only supports Power On/Power Off/Play/Pause. However Panacotta supports a whole lot more!
Have fun!
Thanks for the reminder. I forgot I submitted this feature request. The newer UB players have since been added in panacotta 0.2 and HA.
You’re right, panacotta supports more features. I’m going to mess around with adding prev/next support to the HA integration and will make a PR in Github if I get it working.
Eject functionality sadly doesn’t seem to be supported by the media player entity in HA:

I have NEXT_TRACK, PREVIOUS_TRACK, and used STOP to control EJECT (Play/Pause works for me as a stop function)…
See THIS POST .
I hope this is useful!
