Custom services not working, Service to change channel works - what am I doing wrong

[ArnolddeBolster]

I got the service to change channel working: service: media_player.play_media data: entity_id: media_player.mediabox media_content_id: 1 media_content_type: channel

But I can't get custom services working. How can I solve this. The examples in documentation do not help for me.

Same here, only for me the channels work but the apps on the platform do not. (Ziggo Next) Netflix, Videoland, Prime Video...

service: media_player.play_media target: entity_id:

• media_player.mediabox device_id: [] area_id: [] data: media_content_id: Netflix media_content_type: app

In the description is mentioned to name the source as app eg: service: media_player.play_media data: entity_id: media_player.mediabox media_content_id: Netflix media_content_type: app

The examples are a little off. You should use data instead of service_data. i.e.:

service: lghorizon.remote_key_press
data:
  entity_id: media_player.ziggo_beneden
  remote_key: MediaTopMenu

Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll change the docs.

Sorry Prime Video works, Netflix and Videoland do not.

I have tried various configurations but nothing works. It goes to the channel but does not open Netflix. If I go to that channel with my normal remote bidding, it works. If I set 'channel' and the Netflix channel number to '114', for example, it doesn't work either.

tap_action: action: call-service service: media_player.play_media data: entity_id: media_player.mediabox media_content_id: Netflix media_content_type: app

@Sholofly Many thanks for your answer. I now have most of the remote buttons of the ZiggoNext added to to LG WEBOS Remote which I use in combination as universal remote. Most of the universal remote buttons I earlier used with scripts from Logitech Harmony remote. Probably more commands can be triggered with your solution so i post all commands i have: Ziggo Next {"deviceId":"","command":"Power","action":"press"} "deviceId":"","command":"0","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"1","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"2","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"3","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"4","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"5","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"6","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"7","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"8","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"9","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Mute","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"VolumeDown","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"VolumeUp","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"ChannelPrev","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"ChannelDown","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"ChannelUp","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"DirectionDown","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"DirectionLeft","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"DirectionRight","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"DirectionUp","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Select","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Stop","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Play","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Rewind","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Pause","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"FastForward","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Record","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Menu","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Back","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Teletext","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"DVR","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Green","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Red","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Blue","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Yellow","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Guide","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Info","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Exit","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"Help","action":"press"} {"deviceId":"","command":"OnDemand","action":"press"}
