Some questions ?
Is it a template way:
It will be fine to have a “spaghetti mode” play all you want (album, playlist) only for 10 minutes…
No, none of it. Sorry.
Duration isn’t something that I forward to the attributes.

Sorry, I just can’t figure out how to get the dropdowns to show on the dashboard. I’m able to choose media from the media control card and it plays on my defined default media player but i have no idea how to integrate the markdown.yaml to get the dropdowns to show and change the values of the media and players. I’m running this in docker so i don’t have HACS and installed this manually. Is there idiot-proof documentation somewhere that I’m missing? Thanks.
Have you got this in configuration.yaml. ?
to integrate markdown.yaml go to the lovelace editor on the right corner on the dahboard
the full example is here
you can create this view and then edit accordingly
I’ve tried putting that in configuration.yaml, adding the whole package folder to the /config directory and adding the files in custom_components/ytube_music_player. not sure exactly which section of the config to add it to and then after adding it, not sure which card to add to get the view.
Ok sorry… i was a little slow. I figured out i needed to add this to a dashboard using the Edit Dashboard -> Raw Configuration Editor. I kept thinking i had to add it to configuration.yaml. Now I just need to get the dropdown piece working. getting errors for entities not available…
Again, I put the config in the wrong place. I tried putting it in the media player section with the rest of the ytube_music_player config but it needs to be in the completely separate input_select section. Finally got it all working now. Did I mention I’m still learning??? lol. Thanks.
Hello !!
Some times I’ve got this error
(loading) is not a valid media player.
and the music don’t start, i’m not able to find why …
Hmm that’s strange, loading is the default value of the input select … is that input select always populated?
Suddenly, at restart, i got this:
And nothing is working…
In the log i have:

Reinstalling the integration i see the following:
What’s the meaning?
Seems to be an issue with the authentication cookie.
If not already done, i would try to do these steps again:

Blockquote
1. Basic steps for grabbing
2. Please use the config flow of Home Assistant
Although YAML configuration is still possible: Please remove it and configure the player via config_flow or several functions will be missing
Yes, i re-did all the steps and now all is working again…
hi, the new release will show more detailed error messages.
But your cookie will need to be refreshed from time to time … e.g. when you log out in the browser. … the same happened to me the other day … glad that you were able to fix it yourself.

Anyone else using this in Node Red? I’m having an issue with it not refreshing my playlist when I switch between them (see below).
The five second time is just to let all the new settings ‘stick’, and probably doesn’t need to be that high.
Toggling between the two playlists updates the Lovelace front end, but not the actual playing playlist.
Have you tried direct service calls instead of manipulation of the the drop downs?
I do all my stuff in Node Red, and aren’t too familiar with the HA side of things.
it’s odd that manually changing the playlist thru lovelace will play the correct playlist, but not when set thru NR doing a service call (in which case the lovelace is updating to the new playlist name)
Hi,
I am no longer able to start the YT player and I get the following error in the notification box:
“Failed to call service media_player/play_media. local variable ‘_remote_player’ referenced before assignment”

The Log shows the following, but I’m not able to find out what is the root cause.
