Nest Mini plays audible notification sound when starting DefaultMediaReceiver #92

illiteratealliterator commented 1 year ago

Hi there, wondering if you might be able to help me out here. I've been using an old Google Mini as our doorbell chime, and it's been working great. However, I recently purchased a new Nest Mini that I'm in the process of setting up. Now, when I cast the doorbell mp3, I first hear a notification sound. I've worked out that this seems to happen when the device is starting the DefaultMediaReceiver app.

The message I send looks like this:

{
    "app": "DefaultMediaReceiver",
    "type": "MEDIA",
    "media": {
        "url": "http://.../doorbell.mp3"
    }
}

The first time I send this, I hear the notification sound, followed by my doorbell mp3. If I send it again immediately, I only hear the doorbell sound.

If I then send a close message...

{
    "app": "DefaultMediaReceiver",
    "type": "CLOSE"
}

... followed by the media message above, I once again hear the notification chime. I seems to me like it's notifying me that the DefaultMediaReceiver app was started (or something like that).

I've looked for a setting to disable this, but have had no luck. Any chance you know of a solution?

That isn't exposed by Google as an option unfortunately.

Thanks for the quick response @i8beef, looks like I'm mostly out of luck. I did some more searching and found people trying to work around the issue by using volume/mute & delays etc... but it's all pretty clunky. Might just have to put up with it for now. Thanks for the great node btw!
