Rasbperr Pi Media Player advice

1

Hi there,

I’m looking for a media player which is working on Raspberry. I want to use for playing music (all day) + TTS notifications.

Nowadays I’m using Volumio. But its doesnt work without MPD integration for TTS messages. My existing automation like this:

  • Pause Volumio
  • Set Volumio volume level
  • Play dingdong.mp3 with MPD
  • Delay 2sec
  • Call TTS and and speak messages
  • Delay 15sec
  • Set Volumio volume level
  • Play Volumio and continue music playing

One of my automation as below:

alias: Hava Durumu
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: "09:00:00"
condition:
  - condition: time
    before: "00:00:00"
    weekday:
      - mon
      - tue
      - wed
      - thu
      - fri
    after: "00:00:00"
action:
  - service: media_player.media_pause
    data: {}
    target:
      device_id: 3df8a2cdef629f975ea3dc2de2cdc621
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 3
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      volume_level: 0.89
    target:
      device_id: 3df8a2cdef629f975ea3dc2de2cdc621
  - service: media_player.play_media
    data:
      media_content_id: https://ip:8123/local/dingdong.mp3
      media_content_type: audio/mp3
      enqueue: play
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.volumio_mpd
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 2
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: tts.google_cloud_say
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.volumio_mpd
      message: >-
        Herkese merhaba. İstanbul'da bugün hava {{
        states("sensor.bugun_hava_durumu") }} ve hissedilecek en yüksek sıcaklık
        ise {{ states("sensor.bugun_hava_sicakligi") }} derece.
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 15
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      volume_level: 0.5
    target:
      device_id: 3df8a2cdef629f975ea3dc2de2cdc621
  - service: media_player.media_play
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.emc_snd_001
mode: parallel
max: 10

This automation works well. But sometimes passing TTS messages. Normally music volume level 0.5 and increasing while TTS active, then decrease to 0.5 again. When TTS passing, music playing very loudly.

I dont know why. I suspect Volumio and MPD. Because of I’m looking for different media player can handle play music and TTS with single entity ID (as you see Volumio and MPD has different entity IDs)

Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Normally you would install MPD and use that as a player.
