Media player entity not created

str2der commented 3 years ago

I have installed the pymusiccast via Hacs. The files (and the pycache folder) is located in:

/config/custom_components/musiccast_yamaha/

I have also added the following to Configuration.yaml:

media_player:

platform: musiccast_yamaha host: 192.168.1.192 port: 5004

However - when I restart HA, it doesn't create a media player entity as I was expecting. Am I doing something wrong?

Is 192.168.1.192 accessible through your home assistant? try telnet 192.168.1.192 80 from your home assistant device.

Hi! Thanks for reaching out!

I'm running HA on a virtual Ubuntu server that is running in Oracle VM Virtualbox on a Win10 machine.

From the Win10 machine I can open 192.168.1.192 in Chrome to access the web interface of the Musiccast unit. When trying with Telnet from the Win10 machine I get "Connection to host lost" after a while.

Don't know if the information is of any use, but in Configuration.yaml I already have the following, working as it should:

vacuum:

platform: xiaomi_miio host: 192.168.1.135 token: A_LOT_OF_CHARACTERS name: Robostina

So it seems that the HA server can at least access that IP address correctly.

Managed to get it working!

Don't actually know what was wrong from the beginning, but I re-installed the component. Made sure all Musiccasts were not in standby and then added all the Musiccasts to configuration.yaml

Great! Have fun.
