Slimproto integration does not discover/add Squeezebox Boom

[meichthys]

The problem

I'm trying to migrate from Logitech Media Server to Slimproto to reduce the need for an additional addon. When enabling the Slimproto integration, it is setup immediately indicating it was successful, however the device is not added. A few notes that may be helpful:

• I removed the Logitech Media Server Add-On and restarted before installing the Slimproto integration
• I factory reset my Squeezebox Boom
• The Squeezebox is on the same network as Home Assistant
• Auto-discovery works for other integrations

When restarting Home Assistant i do see the logs i've included below.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2022.6.7

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

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)}}

Do you have a name set on the Boom ? Can you please try to remove any "special" characters from that name as a test

[meichthys]

To add to this, i've also noticed that even aver re-booting, Home Assistant is 'discovering' a Logitech Media Server (with the ip of HA) which doesn't exist (I've confirmed the container is not running in HomeAssistant or otherwise on my network):

I did a factory reset, so i don't think so, but I'll double check later.

[meichthys]

To follow up on this, it looks like the name is just: squeezebox

[frankiboy1]

I'm experiencing a similar problem when trying to connect a squeezebox boom. I've tried multiple different methods, factory resetting between each try.

1. Running LMS on the same network: The player connects to LMS
2. Not running LMS: No squeezebox server found
3. Manually setting IP address (to the Home assistant IP): The player is stuck displaying "connecting" on the display

I have also tried to connect to mysqueezebox.com to see if that make any difference, but I'm still unable to connect to slimproto.

I have a hifiberry connected to slimproto, but I expect slimproto can handle multiple devices?

[marcelveldt]

Yes, it can handle multiple devices but I have never tried it with a SB Boom. I will put a few guard in the code and provide a new version soon.

[frankiboy1]

I installed squeezelite on my laptop, just to make sure that it's not an issue with my install of slimproto. The squeezelite player appears immediately as a slimproto device, so everything except SB Boom seems to work properly.

[marcelveldt]

OK thanks for that test, good to know.

[meichthys]

Also, my squeezebox boom is on firmware version 54. I'm not sure if there's a newer than that or not but I thought I would throw that out there for reference.

[frankiboy1]

Mine is running FW version 57, which I believe is the latest.

[frankiboy1]

Not sure if this is helpful, but the only activity I can see from SB Boom is discover requests that are broadcasted. Slimproto does not reply to the requests.

I have the same problem. No matter how I try to disable/remove the Squeezebox (Logitech Media Server) integration it appears again and I'm not able to connect to SlimProto (I have tried Squeezebox Radio, Squeezebox Duet).

[frankiboy1]

Dug i bit deeper in the logs and found this error in the logs:

2022-07-03 14:51:48 ERROR (MainThread) [aioslimproto.discovery] 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 17: unexpected end of data Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/aioslimproto/discovery.py", line 202, in datagram_received data = data.decode() UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 17: unexpected end of data

0xc5 is the last byte of the device MAC address. So at least in my case, this looks like an issue with decode of the received data.

[marcelveldt]

Like I said above. I will provide a fix soon. The cause of the issue is all clear. Just need to find some time to PR the patch. Maybe later today or tomorrow. Thanks for the patience.

[meichthys]

@marcelveldt I see that your change is merged into https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/aioslimproto. Does that mean the fix is included in 2022.07?
