2024.8.0: Linkplay - missing basic options

I have exactly this issue. I mainly use my linkplay device for online radio stations which were presets set as sources. None of my automations work now as I can't configure any sources or lastfm key in the new integration.

It's not really a feature request - the core integration simply doesn't replace the outgoing HACS integration at all.

Just want to know the purpose of this core integration? What can we do with it? No docs at all.. For me it's just a media player? But how to send media to it? The services just don't work?

I opened this one yesterday:

[joostlek]

That does not mean that the scope of the core integration is the same as the custom integration. If there is something implemented that does not work, it's a bug. if it's not implemented its a feature request and belongs on the forum.

[joostlek]

That is a valid bug report and that is fine, you have to will have to wait for that one to be fixed I guess

Hi, I'm not sure if it's my problem or if it's generic, I've just updated and moved to official integration, immediatly noticed playing Spotify with my August WR320 that track info and picture are missing in the entity, maybe related issue?

Hallo! I'm using the Linkplay too. Yes, I confirm this is happening. Also, the media information seem to be encoded in their HTML entity codes, such as & :

The title should be "<3 Song":

The artist should be "Heaven & Hell":

Also, I am unable to jump to the previous and next tracks:
