actually looks like a bug, added https://github.com/3ll3d00d/jriver_homeassistant/issues/18

[mattkhan]

in fact, I'd say it's an MC bug so keep an eye on https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,138671.0.html

[flac.rules]

Sorry, I am a bit confused after reading the bug thread and the answer. I want to browse and play my playlists. Is that something i should be able to do with the plugin now?

[mattkhan]

Not via browsing no, I have to add a workaround as MC won't change their api

[mattkhan]

finally got round to this, I think latest version (0.2.7) should allow playlist selection

I’ve been using Home Assistant for a while now, and integrating it with different applications has been a game-changer for my setup.

I checked out your GitHub page and the integration looks promising. If you’re new to Home Assistant or looking for a guide on setting it up, https://www.mklibrary.com/how-to-install-home-assistant-on-synology/ has some useful info that could help with the initial setup.

Hi Matt - I just wanted to say thank you for developing this. Only discovered your work on this integration today. Works really well. I did find an issue with pausing and resuming playback. For whatever reason playback my client refuses to restart after pause from the Home Assistant interface. Might be an issue with my setup.

I guess it might depend on which widget you use in the front end assuming this is driven by user control rather than some automation?

Thanks Matt. It's the default media control card. I've noticed that pushing the power button freezes the player as well. In your experience is there a better card (custom or otherwise) to use?

[mattkhan]

Not sure about but I use https://github.com/kalkih/mini-media-player combined with the built in one for it's browse function (which I rarely use tbh as it has no search feature and is not customisable) and a bunch of other buttons for convenience

I will post that config later to illustrate

Thanks Matt - I'll give that a go and do some tinkering. Certainly the play/pause functionality works with that player. I might also try to build a file info tile that picks up the playing now attributes.
