Hi

seeing the same error :

i may have found the culprit, but no idea to solve it i yesterday installed a new media_player in config, if i comment it out, then plex assistant works if i add the config back, plex assistant throws an error

media_player:
    - platform: linkplay
      host: !secret arylica50
      name: Luidspeker_Buiten
      volume_step: 5
      sources: 
        {}

hey @muddro1 what other media_players do you have in your config? this plex assistant seems to fail because its in conflict with a media_player

[muddro1]

Looks like this would be the culprit

media_player:
  - platform: androidtv
    name: Shield TV
    host: 192.168.40.50

yeah, something wrong , not sure what, i fixed it with excluding that media player in the function

in helpers.py

line 49 and forward, added this line : if not entity == media_player.luidspeker_buiten: so i exclude that specific media player from that function

so it looks like :

def get_devices(hass, pa):
    for entity in list(hass.data["media_player"].entities):
        if not entity == media_player.luidspeker_buiten:
            info = str(entity.device_info.get("identifiers", "")) if entity.device_info else ""
            dev_type = [x for x in ["cast", "sonos", "plex", ""] if x in info][0]
            if not dev_type:
                continue
            try:
                name = hass.states.get(entity.entity_id).attributes.get("friendly_name")
            except AttributeError:
                continue
            pa.devices[name] = {"entity_id": entity.entity_id, "device_type": dev_type}

Probelm is thats the mediaplayer I would use plex assistant with.

[pergolafabio]

ah ok :-)

[pergolafabio]

i have no idea why its failing :-( we need some assiance from @maykar

[yeahme49]

I just submitted a PR (https://github.com/maykar/plex_assistant/pull/143) that I think fixes the issue (it fixed it for me). I think the problem is sometimes plex_assistant starts before the media_player component. The PR makes it wait for media_player to start. You can try editing your manifest.json file and restart HA and see if it works for you.

[pergolafabio]

That could be it indeed, thnx

Seems to have fixed it for me and solution makes sense. Thanks!
