Casting to Airplay/HomeKit devices doesn't work #143

Closed bobloadmire closed 2 years ago

bobloadmire commented 2 years ago

If I select an Airplay/homekit device such as an LG TV, TCL TV, or Roku device, all 3 devices have not responded to the airplay connection attempt. Chromecast devices work flawlessly. I haven't seen anything in the documentation about configuring for Airplay/homekit specifically.

Hi, im calling the media play function of the endpoint and pass the url to it. So every media player type that supports streaming by url should be compatible. Could you check if that's working for the three by playing any mp3 stream?

ok that makes sense. I'm actually not sure how to verify I'm streaming an MP3, I only use youtube music, so I'm assuming YTM doesn't use MP3 codec?

@bobloadmire try service: media_player.play_media data: entity_id: media_player.(YourMediaDevices) media_content_id: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cv0u9tsp327n3u7/T99.mp3?dl=0 media_content_type: 'audio/mp3'

See if this works playing a test mp3 file. if they work then might need to turn on debug for the media_player or the intergration that is adding the media_player device
