Remote control works but only for very limited commands

[fradaxx]

Hi,

I need some help with LG-WebOS-Remote-Control.

I managed to install LG-WebOS-Remote-Control via HACS in my HA configured as follows:

System Health

During first installation of HA on my RaspberryPi 3B+ it automatically discovered my LG TV 43UM7000PLA and installed the LG HomeKit Controller named "LG webOS TV 9DAE" and the entity media_player.lg_webos_tv_9dae; with this entity I was already able to control only the video source of the TV.

After the installation of LG-WebOS-Remote-Control and of the other required add-ons (browser_mod and channel_pad), I was able to view the image of the enhanced remote control adding a custom card with the following code:

type: 'custom:lg-remote-control'
entity: media_player.lg_webos_tv_9dae
sources:
  - name: Netflix
    icon: 'mdi:netflix'
  - name: Plex
    icon: 'mdi:plex'
  - name: YouTube Kids
    icon: 'mdi:youtube'
  - name: YouTube
    icon: 'mdi:youtube-tv'
  - name: Amazon Prime Video
    icon: 'mdi:amazon'
  - name: HDMI1
    icon: 'mdi:video-input-hdmi'
  - name: HDMI2
    icon: 'mdi:video-input-hdmi'
  - name: HDMI3
    icon: 'mdi:video-input-hdmi'
channels:
  - image: /local/config/www/community/channel-pad/tv_logo/channel_1.png
    number: '1'
  - image: /local/config/www/community/channel-pad/tv_logo/channel_2.png
    number: '2'
dimensions:
  scale: 0.8
  border_width: 3px
colors:
  buttons: var(--deactive-background-button-color)
texts: null

However the only working button on this remote control is the "source" one; pressing it a drop-down list with all alternative sources appears and they work correctly. Any other available button on the remote control image react but nothing happens on the TV and for some of them an error "Failed to call service webostv/command. Service not found" is displayed on the bottom left corner of the browser window.

If I press the individual "sources" keys the displayed error is "Failed to call service media_player/select_source. Could not find source Youtube (or Plex or Amazon Prime Video, etc.).

Please, can someone address me on how to solve this problem?

OK, I managed to solve the problem by myself. The problem was that I had omitted to correctly configure the media_player section in configuration.yaml. Following the instruction available here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/webostv/, I added the following section in my configuration.yaml file:

webostv:
  host: x.x.x.x
  name: Living Room TV
  customize:
    sources:
      - LiveTV
      - YouTube
      - AirPlay
      - Movies
      - Amazon Prime
      - Netflix
      - HDMI 1
      - HDMI 2
      - HDMI 3
      - AV
      - Component
