Denon AVR-X3000 not playing via MA

[papabak]

What version of Music Assistant has the issue?

2022.8.4

The problem

MA installs normal. Spotify shows the proper content. When selecting a song the Denon AVR-X3000 is switched on. The progress bar turns blue showing the song with contenttype Ogg Vorbis, but then everything stops. In the Denon mass player I tried all 4 contenttypes available (wav flac mp3 and alac) without succes. I can play music from my nas on the Denon and also from my Spotify app. Somehow MA and the Denon do not match … yet. Has anyone been successful using a Ddnon AVR with MA?

If I recall correctly, The avr integration doesn't provide a compatible player that supports play media by url. But using the DLNA integration is reported to work, with some tweaking of the settings:

@papabak any progress?!

Unfortunately not Eric. I have no idea how to use DLNA with my Denon AVR. DLNA is loaded as integration, but I do not find a connection to MA.

I recall the AVR media players are not offering the play media service, only remote control. You can verify that via the development tool, to check if the service play_media with an url works. See https://github.com/music-assistant/hass-music-assistant/discussions/622

If not, you can check if your DLNA integration adds a player for your denon. If so, check if that one works with the play media service. In the link provided earlier people are using a HEOS integration. Maybe that is what you need. If not, it's beyond my knowledge and maybe someone on discord knows how to get a DLNA player. Others have succeeded, so maybe you need to enable something on the Denon. If that works, but that player is not configurable in MA, it is time to open an issue here. DLNA players should be supported by MA.

As far I can judge, this is more a support question, not an issue. So I will close this one.

First look /ask further on the discussion section https://github.com/music-assistant/hass-music-assistant/discussions Or continue on discord: https://discord.gg/kaVm8hGpne

Success Eric

Hi Eric, I got it working by installing an DLNA server for the Denon AVR. It listens to port 5555. I found that on a Denon AVR forum.

Thanks for sharing your solution. Best Eric
