Ok I am continuing my quest to play sounds to my local machine. This is discussion the [I don't know which app is playing media - #3 by captcurrent]. I am trying to build a service to essentially say security warning like “door open”. I am trying to use MaryTTS for this but I can not find a way to send output to my computer speaker. I installed MPD but when I go to select it it shows a line through it and say It is not connected. How can I send TTS output to my local machine. Once there I can handle further routing using Airfoil.
I found this https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unable-to-connect-to-mpd/8914/3. anded `media_player:
- platform: mpd
name: mpd
host: 10.0.1.10
port: 6600
to my configuration.yaml. but MPD still shows as unavailable. I am confused
Continuing my quest to get to play through my Mac… Since the MPD shows what I think is a not connected icon. I tried using Services in Developer to call " turn on" for the entity (MPD). I get a green successors check mark but that State of MPD Player remains off. Am I doomed because I am running of Supervised Virtual Machine
