Join Linkplay error

[kyme32]

Hello,

I have the following setup and when i try to join players it trows an error, unjoining them works flawless. Calling manually service: linkplay.join to join the players works with no problem

I've created also https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/119435 Perhaps it would be grate to have a possibility to change the callservice for joining and use linkplay service

Core 2024.6.2
Supervisor 2024.06.0
Operating System 12.3
Frontend 20240610.0

Linkplay component V.3.2.1 by nagyrobi Maxi Media Player component v.1.6.0

Failed to call service media_player/join. LinkPlayDevice.async_join_players() got an unexpected keyword argument 'group_members'

What command and arguments do you use for manually joining?

Hello, Using linkplay component i use the following service call to join

service: linkplay.join
data:
  master: media_player.audiocast_tv \\master speaker
  entity_id: media_player.large_left,media_player.large_right  \\slave speakers, comma separated

to unjoin

service: linkplay.unjoin
data:
  entity_id: media_player.large_right

Thank you

Linkplay must support the official media player join. So it is probably a bug with linkplay. It says it does:

It's also possible to use Home Assistant's standard multiroom join and unjoin functions for multiroom control.

But your error indicates it doesnt. You should probably file the bug on linkplay integration instead.
