Feature Request: Stream music to Mopidy

[datdamnzotz]

Question - Feature request Is there a way to stream a Plex music library to a mopidy media player? I'm using the mopidy integration here as various different room media players: https://github.com/bushvin/hass-integrations#mopidy v1.4.6 This is talking to Mopidy 3.2.0 on various raspberry PI's.

I've tried different card configurations like:

Card Configuration

type: custom:plex-meets-homeassistant
protocol: https
sort: ''
playTrailer: false
showExtras: false
showSearch: true
ip: plex.local
token: <yup>
port: '443'
entity: media_player.mediaPI (or cast | media_player.mediaPI)
libraryName: Music

From the native mopidy media player, the DLNA Server picker coming from plex plays music just fine... I would rather use this interface for the picker, because it rocks.

or is there a good way to format the media_content_id the mopidy integration uses as a pre/post script type of deal coming out of plexmeetshomeassistant.

Movies work fine to the TV.

Checks Please check below if true:

[x] I am running Home Assistant on HTTP protocol [x] I am running BOTH Home Assistant AND Plex on HTTPS protocol [x] My Plex server is accessible through protocol, port and ip/hostname I have specified for the card. [x] My Plex server is running on HTTPS and has a valid certificate.

Plex Version Version 1.25.6.5577

Hello, new target player would need to be added.

Could you please share how do you play music from plex on mpd target via a service call?

Currently it is through the mopidy add-on https://github.com/bushvin/hass-integrations#mopidy It shows up in a media player card like so.

type: media-control
entity: media_player.livingroompi

Click the play button I get the media browser, select DLNA

Drill down to the media, and hit the play button.

Calling the service like so (sorry had to dig how to do this)

service: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_type: music
  media_content_id: http://192.168.1.7:8123/local/audio/justtesting.mp3  or what ever url.
target:
  entity_id: media_player.livingroompi

Plays the file on the device.
