[solved] Unable to find component media_player.systemmonitor

Configuration
1

Hi. I’m new to forums so hope this is the right place for this.

I have several DirecTV DVRs. Home Assistant recognizes one, but not the others. Researching I found the media_player component. However, trying to include it (stand alone in configuration file, or with DirecTV platform) results in errors:

System is on a RaspberryPi 3B from the HA hassbian image with hassbinan-config upgrade to hassbian, hassbian-script, home-assistant run today.

The only thing in configuration.yaml with respect to media_player is:
media_player:

Checking this configuration gives:

Failed config
  General Errors: 
    - Platform not found: media_player.systemmonitor

Successful config (partial)

Adding the DirecTV to this:

media_player:
  - platform: directv
    host: x.x.x.x
    name: Family Room DirecTV

Has the same error when checking the script.

Suggestions?
Thanks to all the folks who make this possible. It’s got a lot of potential.

What’s in the configuration after Media Player?

Many thanks! That was the problem. New user disoirentation as there’s a lot to figure out starting up with HA. It was “-platform: systemmonitor”. I’d stuck the media_player component in the middle of my sensor component declarations. Pulling it out of there and moving it down fixed the configuration error problem. There’s still only one DirecTV DVR showing up but I’ll futz with that a bit. Thanks much for the help.
