Yamaha Network Receivers instance

[diego76]

Hi, I think something broke with the latest HA update. I just upgraded my hass.io (on RaspberryPi) to 0.103.0 and noticed one of the Yamaha functions stopped working: the selection of a network radio. Frontend version: 20191204.1 - latest media_player:

• platform: yamaha

Beside the fact the page https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/yamaha/ still shows an old radio path format: media_content_id: "Bookmarks>Internet>Radio Paradise" when the new format should look like this: media_content_id: "Radio>Favorites>Radio Paradise" the selection of a radio stations by the service media_player.play_media stopped working, without logging any errors.

Services like media_player.turn_on, media_player.select_source, media_player.select_sound_mode still works ok.

I am not actively using that feature, but had recently a look into it.

Here is what I observed:

• When I use the Yamaha app on my mobile phone, switching channel always works.

• The HA version does not matter for me, even going back to 0.100.x I see this issue.

• Switching radio stations does not always work: Sometimes I can switch flawless between channels (my bookmarks and also from Radiobrowser>Most popular, another time switching does not work. When that is the case, I can't see any error messages in the logs. HA accepts my service call, but that's it. No further feedback/error and the channel isn't switching. At this point I was curios, if HA even sends something to my receiver, so I captured the network traffic between HA and my receiver, while trying to change the radio station (unsuccessfully): yamaha-tcpflow.txt Maybe someone with more knowledge about that integration can see, whats going wrong there. (I don't even see the channel I want to switch to in that dump, which is probably the cause for that issue)

• While testing, I used the following service calls for media_player.play_media:

  entity_id: media_player.receiver
  media_content_type: "NET RADIO"
  media_content_id: "My stations>Bookmarks>SWR1 BW"
  
  entity_id: media_player.receiver
  media_content_type: "NET RADIO"
  media_content_id: "My stations>Bookmarks>Rock Antenne"
  
  entity_id: media_player.receiver
  media_content_type: "NET RADIO"
  media_content_id: "Radiobrowser>Most Popular>MANGORADIO"

  • Tested with Yamaha RX-V477

  • IMHO not related, but I mention it for safety: Since Yamaha canceled their contracts with http://www.vtuner.com/ last year and are not willing to provide a simple firmware update with a new provider embedded, I am forced to use YCast as an hass.io addon, to be able to use the Netradio function.
