I did checkconfig and it was valid. I then ran the script by pressing ‘start playing’ execute but nothing happened. Only the volume changed.
check you stream links. Sometimes even the links I have will fail from time to time and I have to stream a different station. Or check log for errors
I got this from the log: Error executing service <ServiceCall media_player.play_media: entity_id=[‘media_player.onkyo_receiver’], media_content_id=, media_content_type=audio/mp4>
I’m not quite sure how to help with that… have you tried multiple streams? perhaps its just the stream you are trying that has a problem…?
Are you using the code from my example above or from the original thread?
I used the one from your example. I am just gonna try and work on it tonight and see what happens.
what should the receiver be set to in order to hear? I probably got it set incorrectly.
not sure as I don’t have one but I would expect it to auto switch to the correct input. My TV automatically switches over from whatever is showing if I send something to it, even switching itself on if its currently off
It’s just not working out for me. I am now following your example and got rid of all that I had. I did not have a package folder so I created one inside my Config folder. I then created a chromecast_radio.yaml file and place that in the package folder. Now I am not sure what to do from here on. Forgive me I am kind a new to this.
you need to have the correct code in your config.yaml to tell HA to look for packages. here is my example:
configuration.yaml
homeassistant:
name: Home # Name of the location where Home Assistant is running
latitude: !secret latitude #Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets
longitude: !secret longitude
elevation: 16 #altitude above sea level in meters
unit_system: metric
time_zone: Australia/Perth # Pick yours from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
customize: !include customize.yaml # Customization file
packages: !include_dir_named packages # package setup
NOTE: it needs to go under the homeassistant: label, indented by 2 spaces.
Ok I realize that packages is only an easier way to store files and not to clog up my ha. I am getting duplicate files when I use packages so I am placing the files as I normally do.
that wont work with my code above. put it in packages and nowhere else. ie: remove the duplicates from elsewhere. Its not quite the same as simply having the files elsewhere. Using packages allows for multiple entities of things such as customize: and homeassistant: whereas you cant do that in your normal yaml files.
ok got it.
What packages folder are you talking about?
If you don’t have ‘packages’ yet you will need to create it.
Hi
when i try run it i get :
not a valid value for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']
you have maybe an idea why?
Have you changed all of my entity_id's to ones that you have in your config?
Hi, when I tried this config I have in log:
voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid: value must be at most 1 for dictionary value @ data['volume_level']
Have you any idea?
And second question. How can I add “stop radio” button for stop playing radio?
Thanks
