Hi, I've installed the plugin in HA.

However, it doesn't pick up neither Theater nor 28s, and won't connect directly if specifying the IP. Before further debugging, I wanted to ask if these are supported, or if explicit Mozart support is required.

Thanks!

Source selection drop box does not retrieve the product's user configured sources, but all possible sources, even the unused ones or the one that you cannot action from the product itself such as Airplay or Chromecast.
I worked with TLK (https://github.com/tlk/beoplay-macos-remote-gui) to fix this behavior as TLK was initially inspired by legacy beoplay code to write his own (clever OSX Beoplay control tool) so the code was also retrieving all these useless sources.
The sources drop box I'm referring to:

Just installed the latest version of this component. It works, with the exception of volume control. The slider is at the bottom 0%. shows NaN and is unable to move. Anything I can do to sort this out?

Hi there, I've noticed that the device states aren't getting updated in the media player. It works once after reloading the integration but then never updates again. Control buttons still work though (source change, next track etc, but no state update from the interaction). Reloading the integration updates the player, but then appears to freeze again. Not sure when this problem materialised, it must be within the past couple of months possibly after a core update as it did always used to work well.

HACS is showing version 2022.6 as installed.

Many thanks!

There is an error in the log, I hope this helps:

Hi Giachello

It would be nice if this integration could handle the Light and Control/FuncXX_KeyPress, from the Beoremote One.

So it's possible to name the different functions on the remote.

Thank you for this integration in general - it works flawlessly :)

Hi,

thanks for this integration which keeps the ASE products alive. Unfortunately the Previous/Next buttons are not responding, no matter which source -except MA when casting-. Is there any solution I am missing?

Best regards

Daniel

The pybeoplay library is a mess with some get code in the calls and some outside.

Need to refactor the whole thing.

Hi there,

I need help on the following:

I recently noticed that my B&O HA media_player entities were no longer refreshing the media image of the currently playing track when using Airplay against a B&O product.

I first tried to isolate any changes in several components that could have triggered this issue, O/S change, music player application change, B&O device software change, but I could not find any obvious answer. Issue occurs with any Airplay source (OSX, IOS), including very old ones, it occurs also with different music players and against B&O devices that I kept out from software updates.

The only changes I could think of are HA updates.

I had a deeper look at a given B&O HA entity attributes while playing different tracks from different albums, so with different media image, and I could find that "Entity picture" was not changing while others such as "Volume Level", "Media title", "Media artist", "Media track" were changing properly and accordingly.

The "Entity picture" sticks with the very first value it collected when entity was first activated e.g. first play after entity has been turned off or after a HA restart.

The Entity picture value is in the form of "/api/media_player_proxy/media_player.bs_core?token=fa001c96da44c5d55f68214ddf4cd51111a3316e8ae0581b3d9d94b227611c7f&cache=34af6d1562400fa7" and this token value stays the same until entity off/on

My media_player.py "media_image_url" property is set as follow (note: I have two static images depending on the source, otherwise it is dynamic).

@Property
def media_image_url(self):
"""Image url of current playing media."""
if self._source == "Optical":
return "http://192.168.1.52:8123/local/TVFrame.jpg"
elif self._source == "Line-In":
return "http://192.168.1.52:8123/local/BSMoment.jpeg"
return self._media_url if self._media_url else None

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Kind regards.
Jérôme

after updating from v2023.4.2 to v2024.3.2 the Media Player entity is missing while power on/off is still available.
Restore to v2023.4.2 solves the issue

Hi @giachello !

thanks for this great great initiative.

Installation works great for, adding speakers is also fine. But I don’t see any source selection and the played media is always only shown as unknown. See Picture.

Maybe I I am doing something wrong?

Latest version of component and Home Assistant. I can power of the TV but it does not power on again. Anything I can change to make this work?

Currently HA Events generated from Notifications on the device don't contain the name of the device, so it's impossible to distinguish which device generated the notification. Need to add it.

Is there a way to choose a specific radio station from the favourites list?

Dear Giovanni
I'm using both of your integrations, beoplay as well as mlgw with home-assistant. Thank you very much for all your time you spent in developing this, really appreciated.
I was setting both up and playing around with my setup at home. Most of the things are working out of the box, or if I faced issues like with the virtual button to send to the blgw, there is already a fix which is working.
I'm using beoplay integration to control my Beo11-55, as well as my Converter ML/NL, which I used to 'wireless' interconnect my Beo10 in another room. So I setup the NL/ML Converter as ML Audio-Master. Discovery works, and the Converter with it's sources will be recognised. I can choose a source of Radio and the Beo10 turns on and plays Radio. The only thing, the status in the mini-player will not be updated. When I check the ML/NL Converter, the state is: nowPlaying= & nowPlayingDetails=type: Legacy; track number: 9 & online=Yes & sourceName=RADIO & sourceUniqueId=RADIO:[email protected] & state=Play & volume=50

So if I change now the source from RADIO to f.e. CD with me Beo-Remote, the state of the mini-media player gets updated automatically.

As long as this state is not updated, I'm not able to turn off the Beo10 with the mini-player app. As soon as the state is updated, I can turn off with app. Do you perhaps have an idea?

I'm not sure, if my explanation is clear enough. If so, please apologise.

Have a great start into the new day, and stay healthy.
Best
Roli

Hi,

After updating HA to latest release I get this error:

Any Ideas?

Hi,
"media_player.py" has Airplay exclusion back where I think we already discussed a while ago that this exclusion is not necessary as Airplay source is able to expose the album art.

@Property
def media_image_url(self):
"""Image url of current playing media."""
_if self.source == "AirPlay":
return None
return self._media_url if self._media_url else None

Kind regards,
Jérôme

Something is causing it (in this case a M3) to set the state ‘Paused’ approximately every 5 min. The speaker has not played today at all. When I monitor the BeoNotify stream, nothing is registered at the same time, so it must be the HA component itself.

Hi Giovanni,
my internet provider sent me a new router.

How can I change the IP address of a Beoplay speakers in the Beoplay integration?

I tried to change the IP addresses in the configuration.yaml file but the Beoplay integration is still searching for the devices by the old ip addresses.

media_player:

• platform: beoplay
  host: 192.168.178.71
  name: M5 Esszimmer
• platform: beoplay
  host: 192.168.178.72
  name: M5 Wohnzimmer
• platform: beoplay
  host: 192.168.178.73
  name: M3 Bad

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Giovanni,

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this great integration! I've noticed that the next & previous controls are not working for the Beoplay A9 mk4 and M5. However they work for the BV11. This is using the mini media player. The service call to media_next_track doesn't do anything either. Play/stop/power/join however do work.

Many thanks!

Rob.

Hej,

I just bought the b&o sounds staging and I’d like to have it to work with an integration.

Fron your read me. I did copy the files into a new folder /bioplay , restart, reboot, cleared the cache and always without success

I’m running the latest hassio on a raspberry pi4 on a ssd drive.

If you have time… :-) to look at it

/Mvh Marc

Since the update to 2022.3 the integration seems not to update the status of the devices. Everytime the device is playing from a source the state is ‚unknown‘. Actually there isn‘t any possibility to read out the source of the device.
Are there any solutions for that problem?

Bonjour!
I'm currently using the legacy beoplay HA integration and I tried the one you published without success.

What I have done so far:

• Legacy ha-beoplay directory is present in custom_components
• Moved the former beoplay directory out of custom_components
• Commented out previous beoplay entries in configuration.yaml
• Installed the new beoplay directory pulled from your repository into custom_components
• Added beoplay section in configuration.yaml as per the README.CMD: FAILED HA configuration checks
• Added a device via the configuration flow/ Integration add successfully
• I'm not able to find the device when I want to add it my HA Workspace while looking for media_player entity.

Note: I'm not a developer, so apologize my poor skills here
Note 2: I'm a member of the Beoworld forum

Kind regards.

Hi

Featurerequest: it would be nice if the TV's and speakers was added as devices, so it was possible to do automations, based on device state etc.
e.g. i have some speakers that are on a controlled power outlet for energy saving. An automation could be to switch them on, when TV is powered on
