Some files of my playlist don’t play and give an error…
[548431330224] string value is None for dictionary value @ data[‘media_content_id’]
hmm please open a ticket https://github.com/KoljaWindeler/ytube_music_player/issues
and add the debug output … thats the best way i can help. There are in fact >40 closed tickets already!
MPD
We’ve developed a fix for MPD (media_player) integration, for those interested:
https://github.com/KoljaWindeler/ytube_music_player#mpd-fix
Sonos
We also had the first successes with Sonos speakers

And thanks a lot at @troy and Christian baart for the beer

Never thought that this would work and really appreciate your support

Kolja, thank you very much for your time and effort to create, test this integration + troubleshoot users issues. It is working perfectly! HA needs more devs like you

Thanks for your feedback, that means a lot to me
Never thought that troubleshooting would be such a big task. The integration is running flawlessly on my chromecast setup for weeks now, but the more players and setups we test the more strange stuff happens.
On the other hand each issue will steadily increase the capability of the player and I’m sure that together we can find solutions for almost everything.
So keep sending issues

Hey,that’s not an issue thanks. The scenario is when no media is playing, the door bell goes and then it starts playing the last playlist, I don’t want it to play that as it wasn’t playing when the doorbell went.
Cheers

Is it possible that ytube_music_player was still running and that you’ve only stopped your remote_player (the google_speaker)? If thats the case the ytube_music_player will wait on a transition from playing to idle which happens once the tts or doorbell is played and will play the next track as reaction.
The big question is how did you switch off of your google_speaker withouth turning off the ytube_music_player (switching off the google_speaker should also switch off the ytube_music_player) …
hmm if that error is persistant could you open an issue (https://github.com/KoljaWindeler/ytube_music_player/issues), enable debug messages (https://github.com/KoljaWindeler/ytube_music_player#debug-information) and copy from the log the time from ‘switching off music’ wait a few moments, play tts, ‘let ytube_music_player resume its old playback’ …
edit: I can easily reproduce your problem if I set the ytube_media_player into PAUSE -> play tts -> ytube_media_play will play the next track … could that be something?
@Nemesis24 Thanks for the Beer

well … still a bug … somehow … but I don’t see how to fix it
a) don’t react on a playing to idle transition when in pause mode
good: the next track won’t play in your scenario
bad: when the player is in “PAUSE” and the user click “UNPAUSE” it will send the ‘media_play’ command to the remote_player … but in your scenario the remote player can’t know what to play as it’s not longer in pause mode and already lost the URL of the track when it played the tts
b) always understand PAUSE as OFF
good: the next track won’t play in your scenario
bad: one can’t use pause anymore
c) turn off the ytube_music_player when the state of the remote player changes from paused to playing without interaction of the ytube_music_player?
good: the next track won’t play in your scenario
bad: honest … maybe nothing … “something else took over so I’ll step back” … sound legit to me, don’t you thing
I guess the easiest would be to think of the “power off” button of the mini-media-player as “stop” button.
so that’s not it, tried different variants, will create an issue, thanks for the help!
Hey, that makes sense, the mini-media-player has Play/Pause not Play/Stop as standard.
tried the power off button but only by sending TTS command, kids and wife are in bed so don’t want to press the door bell, not worth my life . I’ll give it a proper whirl and test tomorrow when I should be working
EDIT:
this seems to sort it
toggle_power: false
and
hide:
play_stop: false

Could you please have a look at the following error I’m getting when using the media browser to access my Albums. I can browse all the other categories.

That looks like a problem in the sub api … could you create a ticket at Issues · sigma67/ytmusicapi · GitHub
basically this is the first line of the real error
media = await hass.async_add_executor_job(media_library.get_library_albums, BROWSER_LIMIT)
That calls this: Reference — ytmusicapi 1.5.5.dev1+gc412d7c documentation
and that would be the error section

please mention me @KoljaWindeler in the ticket, so I’ll get notifications about it as well and can help with questions regarding the usage of the api.
Thanks JKW
btw. i had the same problem yesterday. i ended up with deleting all albums in the album folder (i only had a few).
Opening the album folder in media browser, then creates a message “no albums in folder” or something like that as suspected.
After adding the albums again i didn’t get the “unknown error” message anymore.
@JKW:
I wonder if it might be possible to call Albums (inside users mediathek) from the album folder directly within an automation or in the lovelace frontend.
I know you already mentioned something regarding media_content_type: Album blowing the scope - nevertheless i think it would be a great feature. in my use case (Jukebox) i only want to call albums inside the mediathek and creating a single playlist for each is kind of annoying.
thx , regards
Hi, that’s already possible. Go to your media browser and start playing that album. Once it is running look at the attributes of the player. There will be a media type and media Id.
Note both values. Stop playback and call the play_media service with those two arguments … it should start playing the same album.
With that you can totally create a jukebox
Just to mention it here as well. @slipx06 created a ticket for the sub api.
He tracked down the issue together with sigma67 on GitHub. Fix is already implemented by sigma and will be available shortly for everyone here.
Perfect example for collaboration

New Release, mostly to update sub api
Hey @Ghafla82 this new release will use the new sub api 13.1. and thus support more tracks, please have a look. I can’t really test this as the most I have of one artist is 32 tracks … all are shown to me now
