Options

*NOTES:

• volume: put your custom payload here and replace where your value would be with "{{volume}}" (see config ex.)
• status_keyword: This is the keyword your player publishes when it is PLAYING. You only need to mention the keyword for playing. For example, my player indicates it is playing by publishing playing = true to my broker. Therefore I enter "true" in my configuration.yaml
• vol_up/vol_down: Setting this disables the volume_set service. Use vol_up/vol_down if your media player doesn't publish a volume level (i.e if your media player only responds to simple "volumeup"/"volumedown" commands. If you use the "volume" topic you DONT need to use vol_up/vol_down. Same for the reverse

Example configuration.yaml

media_player:  
  - platform: mqtt-mediaplayer
    name: "Musicbee"
    topic:
      song_title: "{{ states('sensor.musicbee_nowplaying_songtitle') }}"
      song_artist: "{{ states('sensor.musicbee_nowplaying_artist') }}"
      song_album: "{{ states('sensor.musicbee_nowplaying_album') }}"
      song_volume: "{{ states('sensor.musicbee_nowplaying_playervolume') }}"
      player_status: "{{ states('sensor.musicbee_playingstatus') }}"
      album_art: "musicbee/albumart"
      volume:
        service: mqtt.publish
        data:
          topic: "musicbee/command"
          payload: "{\"command\":\"volume_set\", \"args\":{\"volume\":\"{{volume}}\"}}"
    status_keyword: "true"
    next:
      service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: "musicbee/command"
        payload: "{\"command\": \"next\"}"
    previous:
      service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: "musicbee/command"
        payload: "{\"command\": \"previous\"}"
    play:
      service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: "musicbee/command"
        payload: "{\"command\": \"play\"}"
    pause:
      service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: "musicbee/command"
        payload: "{\"command\": \"pause\"}"

Example MQTT Broker

This is what my player outputs and what I see when I use MQTT Explorer

musicbee
    playing = true
    songtitle = Repeat After Me (Interlude)
    artist = The Weeknd
    volume = 86
    album = After Hours
    command = {"command": "next"}
    albumart = /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABI ...
