Idle even when playing - Githubissues

UglyBob79 commented 1 year ago

I tried this integration out, because I have a problem I need to solve. My AVR doesn't have a trigger in, so I can't wake it when playing music on the Wiim Pro. So I thought, maybe I can use this integration to trigger on when the player is playing instead. But if I play music from Alexa (spotify), the media player created by this integration still is in idle state. I don't know if its a bug or not, but if it isn't, I would like a feature where you can actually get notified when the player is playing music.

Can you show me states of your device during the playback, taken from Developer Tools?

UglyBob79 commented 1 year ago

I will see what I can extract later today...

I have never seen it change state from idle. Note that I use the WiiM Pro in a group with Amazon Echo devices and play Spotify from Alexa if that matters. I just need a way to know that this player is actually playing... :/

All these things matter probably as there is no such issue when Spotify Connect is used.

Can you also provide the output of this command during a playback

https:///httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatus

executed in the web browser, for example?

UglyBob79 commented 1 year ago

Hmm yeah, it doesn't seem to update, its the same when stopped or when playing :/

Can you try with the latest beta build?

UglyBob79 commented 1 year ago

Yes, but I think it has to be on Monday, got no time now. I'll get back to you and thanks for your support with this.

Sorry, didn't have time yet, busy week. But just wanted to add that it is not only this integration that doesn't seem to update, I'm also trying the Alexa media player integration and it never updates player states either. Driving me crazy, because I really need this to implement an important use case. So might be some more generic problem, but I don't know what...

UglyBob79 commented 1 year ago

Really don't get this. It worked for a few minutes now, so I thought I fixed it somehow. Added an automation to trigger on media_player playing, never worked again. Always idle. UGH!

Which one is the latest beta build? I don't find anything newer than v0.3.6 and that's what HACS have as well?

I use the HA DLNA integration to track the idle status of my WiiM Pro. So far it has worked flawlessly with an automation to bring my old Roksan K2 amplifier to “on” mode as soon as there is something played via the WiiM Pro.

the trigger for the automation is actually wiim status pause/play (not idle) as that is working the best for me.

I have set an Automation to turn off the amplifier after 15 minutes wiim in pause mode.

it works very well for several weeks now.

for everything else I use this great integration.
