Very interesting! Thanks for this video. I will check the developers info and see if it can solve my issue. I need to assemble playlists containing titles mixed from multiple sources and can be played simultaneously on different speakers. The major issue here is the "simultaneously " part. Most solutions I have tried do not allow a good sync, so the speakers can't be close to each other.

hi @wagnerfontes2, agreed, sync is always an issue. It works well for Alexa, but i guess its a sound and sync of sound waves and that very much acoustically bound and specific to the environment. Let us know how your testing goes.

I use a Blueprint to play a Spotify playlist on My Alexa Speakers, When i scan a NFC tag, it's by Viish Sylvain.

Great video, but the current 2024.6.2 version requires installing the Music Assistant Server first, and only then the integration. My concern is that the server might consume too many resources on my machine. I just want to use the integration to remotely access streaming services...

@smart_home_australia

Ай бұрын

The way MA is structured you always needs the HACS MA component installed and running for the HA Integration to work (at least to the best of my knowledge, pls correct me if I am wrong). That said, the utilization for the HACS MA Server is not excessive. I run my prod instance on a VM with 2 Cores allocated and have never had any performance issues. I no longer run a RPi version, but I dont think that would be an issue either.

@msoaresp

Ай бұрын

​@@smart_home_australia Thanks for getting back to me. I watched your video, which is great, by the way. However, I didn't see the installation of the server module, only the integration component version. So, when I went to install it, it required the server. After reviewing the server's requirements, I questioned the necessity of it. I thought maybe I had missed a step in your video. My HA is installed on a MiniPC dedicated specifically to it, and I'm worried about adding more components that might eventually cause issues (crazy, right?).

@smart_home_australia

Ай бұрын

As you are running this on a mini PC HA would not have any issues, unless it was 10+ years old. So I'd suggest HACS MA install, then HA MA Integration install and you should be fine from a resources perspective.

Is it possible to put this into a dashboard so we don't need to use the sidebar?

❓5:30 I also created player-groups. Is it somehow possible to change how the groupe-volume influences the individual volumes? Example: How it behaves right now. Group = vol.60 -> vol.30 (60-30) Player1 = vol.80 -> vol.50 (80-30) Player2 = vol.40 -> vol.10 (40-30) (So it's by addition/subtraction of the volume.) ❗Example: How I want it to behave: Group = vol.60 -> vol.30 (60/2) Player1 = vol.80 -> vol.40 (80/2) Player2 = vol.40 -> vol.20 (40/2) (So it's by multiplication/division of the volume.) BECAUSE than the relative volume relative to eachother is kept equal! So if I have 2 speakers in opposite corners, I sit closer to Player2 and I have adjusted their volume so they sound for this position equally loud they still sound equally loud with multiplication/division but NOT with addition/subtraction. I hope it's understandable what I mean. Can someone give me some ideas or help how to achieve this? Thank you all very much!

But this is getting into advanced user cases and outside of the scope of the majority of the channel members. I'm happy to make a video based on this if there is support for this.

@smart_home_australia

Although I have not done it, doing abit of a search it would seem that yes you can, but its not as simple as Spotify. Creating a shared playlist within Jellyfin involves a few steps. - Create a Playlist: In your Jellyfin Media Server, create a playlist that you want to share. - Share with All Users: By default, playlists are available to all users. However, due to a known issue, users may need to create a playlist themselves to see the full list of playlists. - Create a Blank Playlist for Each User: Another workaround is to create a blank playlist with the name of each user (like “Mom”, “Dad”, etc.). This will make playlists show up as an option on the home screen. - Export Playlist to M3U File: You can also export the playlist to an M3U file and save it in your media folder. After rescanning the library, everyone should be able to see it. - Use Smart Playlist Plugin: There’s a Smart Playlist Plugin for Jellyfin that provides playlists based on a set of rules. However, this requires editing the JSON files directly. Note: I have not tried this, these instructions were found on the net.
