SlimProto Player - no config flow

[tomlut]

The problem

I just removed a muse-proto player set up with the SlimProto Player integration. I restarted then attempted to add a new SlimProto Player integration for my new ESPMUSE speaker flashed with balloob's Squeezelite-ESP32 installer (it is successfully connected to my network).

The integration presents no config flow, says "Success" but adds no media player entity. It adds no entity at all.

That's the mac of my old player.

Hey there @marcelveldt, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (slimproto) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

Other than connecting to my wifi the only other setting in the muse I changed was the name, to "lounge-speaker".

[tomlut]

Never Mind. The speaker was in recovery mode. As soon as I exited that it was discovered by home assistant and functions perfectly.

[marcelveldt]

Yes, that recovery mode stung me too once.

[meichthys]

How did you get the speaker out of recovery mode? I'm experiencing this after factory resetting my Boom and re-connecting it to the same network as HA.

[tomlut]

Visit the speaker with a web browser. At the bottom of the page there's a warning that it is in recovery mode. Something there is clickable.

[meichthys]

Thanks for the quick response. I don't think my older model Boom has a web interface unless the web interface runs on an unusual port?

[tomlut]

Squeezelite-ESP32 (which we are talking about running in recovery mode) has a web interface.

[meichthys]

Ok, the documentation doesn't indicate that any additional software is needed. I'll check this out👍

[tomlut]

Don't bother. This is specific to the Muse players. See: https://raspiaudio.github.io/

This will not work with your Boom.

[tomlut]

What makes you think your Boom is in recovery mode?

This is an issue with the Squeezelite-ESP32 firmware that is not compatible with your device.

[meichthys]

Ok, i see. I was confused about the following part of the docs: This lets you control Squeezebox hardware like the Classic, Transporter, Duet, Boom, Radio, and Touch

[tomlut]

That's right. The SlimProto Player integration works with those players, but this particular issue was due to a type of firmware that is not compatible with your device being in recovery mode.

[meichthys]

Ok sorry for the confusion. I can't seem to get the slimproto integration to work, but the lms addon plus the lms integration is working for now so I won't complain.

[tomlut]

Open a new issue if you can't get the help required in the HA Community Forum, on the HA Discord server or the home assistant reddit.

[marcelveldt]

Ok sorry for the confusion. I can't seem to get the slimproto integration to work, but the lms addon plus the lms integration is working for now so I won't complain.

Like @tomlut said, open a new issues if you experience another issue. Replying to an already closed issue is not a good idea.

Running LMS together with HA will not work. The player will connect to the LMS server. Run HA with slimproto integration OR LMS. Not both.

If you insist running them both you could try to set the IP of HA manually in the player.
