I am attempting to connect an Onkyo TX-8050 receiver to home assistant, but the entity id for the receiver alternates between media_player.tx8050_zone_2 and media_player.tx8050. My configuration entry in either case is
media_player:
- platform: onkyo
host: 192.168.1.103
name: TX-8050
source: Radio
With changing entity id, groups, scripts, etc will not work if the wrong id is specified.
Note: I started from the instructions in: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/media_player.onkyo/
I may have found an answer to my problem. After watching the home-assistant.log, I was seeing this repeated error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/hass/homeassistant/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/entity.py”, line 221, in async_update_ha_state

self._attributes[“video_out”] = ‘,’.join(hdmi_out_raw[1])
The TX-8050 does not have an HDMI port so I commented out the offending code:
File: /home/hass/homeassistant/lib/python3.6/sitepackages/homeassistant/components/media_player/onkyo.py"
221 self._muted = bool(mute_raw[1] == ‘on’)
222 self._volume = volume_raw[1] / self._max_volume
223 # commented out jmp 2018-12-11
224 # self._attributes[“video_out”] = ‘,’.join(hdmi_out_raw[1])
225
With this change I now get both the main and zone_2 entity.
