VLC not showing in media devices

Configuration
1

Hi everybody

I’m sorry for my english, i’ll try my best :slight_smile:

I’ve installed Home Assistant yesterday and everything is running more or less fine, but I have a problem with VLC.

Here is the block in configuration.yaml

media_player:
  - platform: vlc
    name: speaker_1
    arguments: '--alsa-audio-device=hw:0,0'

The speaker doesn’t appear in the states list.

I’m running Home Assistant in Ubuntu and it’s running under my personnal account (not root)
I added my account to the audio group and I can run vlc through command line but not through Home Assistant…

Anyone to help ? :slight_smile:

Ok, for an unknown reason, the configuration was loaded from /root/, launched home-assistand again and it works.
