2024.8.0: Linkplay services issues

[pergolafabio]

The problem

Hey, before i was using the custom linkplay integration, now tested the new linkplay core, my device A50 is well discoreved But before i used service to play presets, like below example, how does that work now? cant find any documentation on it?

                  action: call-service
                  service: linkplay.preset
                  service_data:
                    entity_id: media_player.luidspreker_buiten
                    preset: 1

Also i had some service like below:

                  action: call-service
                  service: media_player.play_media
                  service_data:
                    entity_id: media_player.luidspreker_buiten
                    media_content_id: 'http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s10861'
                    media_content_type: url

but gives me now error like below?

Hey there @velleman, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (linkplay) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Code owner commands

Code owners of `linkplay` can trigger bot actions by commenting: - `@home-assistant close` Closes the issue. - `@home-assistant rename Awesome new title` Renames the issue. - `@home-assistant reopen` Reopen the issue. - `@home-assistant unassign linkplay` Removes the current integration label and assignees on the issue, add the integration domain after the command. - `@home-assistant add-label needs-more-information` Add a label (needs-more-information, problem in dependency, problem in custom component) to the issue. - `@home-assistant remove-label needs-more-information` Remove a label (needs-more-information, problem in dependency, problem in custom component) on the issue.

also tried some basic commands now, this works on my google hub:

action: media_player.play_media
target:
  entity_id: media_player.google_hub
data:
  media_content_type: playlist
  media_content_id: 'https://icecast.vrtcdn.be/mnm-high.mp3'

and the same on my linkplay device:

action: media_player.play_media
target:
  entity_id: media_player.luidspreker_buiten
data:
  media_content_type: playlist
  media_content_id: 'https://icecast.vrtcdn.be/mnm-high.mp3'

gives me:

Failed to perform the action media_player.play_media. Invalid media source URI

also tried like content_type : music ...

These are pretty usual HA services...

Apparently the linkplay integration in HA core is a very, very basic one. Many standard features of the Linkplay chipset don't seem to be implemented.

We've purposely started with a very small implementation to ensure that we hit the ground running. It was never the plan to have feature compatibility with the existing custom component from the start, but it'll get there 😉 .

[pergolafabio]

offcourse, it takes time! :-)

but at this moment, what can we do it with? is it even possible to send a meda/stream to it?

[mirisbowring]

It's not even possible to skip s song 😅

[manwithpowers]

It's also not possible to join/group devices together, which makes the new implementation unusable for me, unfortunately. (I get Action linkplay.join not found when trying). Rolling back to the custom component but would love to see this in the built in one down the line!

[jumate]

We are looking forward to new features such as song skip or track info. Thanks.

The native integration is, imho, pretty useless if you are custom to linkplay functionality. And that with the big remark the hacs integration of linkplay was unsupported notice in 2024.8.x ... joining doesn't work, selecting a preset doesn't work. For now i head back to the hacs integration...

Afaik multiroom has been standardised in HA so there are no more sonos.join linkplay.join etc. They are all just media_player.join universally (of course working only within the same compatible devices). The custom component used to support that too, but apparently this is also someting the HA devs decided not to implement.

I just referred all my players back to the hacs integration and wait for the real link functionality in the core to migrate ( once again ) 🥵

I've opened:

• 125204 to add a service to play a programmable preset

• 125205 to improve the possibilities of the play media service

Both are in draft since I haven't tested them yet. I can test in the coming days. Having these 2 merged will solve your issue.

[pergolafabio]

Thats nice!! But dont you need python-linkplay to 0.0.9 for the preset to work?

[silamon]

It was merged in yesterday, when https support was added.

[pergolafabio]

perfect, i will try to test the drafts soon, thnx for keeping us updated!!

[pergolafabio]

hi @joostlek , dont close yet, there is still one PR needed:

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/125204

[silamon]

It just needs the docs added and it will be merged, so this one is solved anyway soonish.

[pergolafabio]

Perfect, looking forward to it

[pergolafabio]

tested the play media, working great, thnx for this now waiting for the preset one :-)

[silamon]

It will be for the october release I assume since it's a new feature.
