Hi Bob, I've updated the readme with some further clarity for those two questions in the relevant sections. the webhook id is generated from the automation trigger and is a combination of the automation title and a unique string and should look something like: |

Hi Dan, Here is what happens when I set the "song request access" to enabled and go to the html page: The Error log shows: Error running command: I am going to go through each step of the project using the updated readme, and then retest the function and check the error logs. Thank you for your support; it is appreciated. |

Good news; All appears to be working now. I needed to add the python extension in my VSCode instance. |

Hi, this is a great project, and I have looked for something like this in the past with no luck, so I was really happy to stumble across this. I am new to HomeAssistant, but getting the hang of it. I have followed the steps, but haven't had any luck getting this working, and have a couple of questions.

Check that the names of the helpers, automations, files and locations are correct. you'll get errors if you've renamed anything. |

Clearer instructions or a video please: For example - my Content id is blank...? Would appreciate a walkthrough video of the install please |

The helper type is in the YAML code, |

This is now an integration for easier installation :) |

Excellent idea. Just think that there are too many hoops to jump through to get this working, too many places where the setup can go wrong. And not enough documentation to steer through errors and troubleshoot. At the start I ran into a 404. Then into a similar issue that Build-it-Bob encountered above, where the webpage displayed 'Queuing closed...". Had to verify each step of the Readme to ensure names used in Helpers aligned with the names referred to by the Automations triggers. This needed manual intervention/corrections. Now stuck with an issue when I search for a song on the jukebox and HASS throws me an error "An error occurred while searching for songs". Nothing logged in logs. This one seemed to be an issue with MA rather than the jukebox so more head-scratching required. Your work has my vote if it can be converted into a HACS addon for a smoother setup. Would be a killer gamechanger for house parties. Particularly loved the QR code. |

I get a 404 error when trying to add the custom repository to HACS |

Me too. When I add the custom repository I get this 404: GitHub returned 404 for https://api.github.com/repos/djs91/music-assistant-jukebox. I changed the custom repo URL to your GitHub project URL (https://github.com/DJS91/HAMusicAssistantJukebox) and it worked! You might want to amend your readme.md. |

It would be great if the JukeBox can be made accessible on the same URL as HA. |

the URL in the readme should now work for HACS. Readme has been updated. Apologies I missed that

Recent updates should allow for this. let me know if it still doesn't work with custom domains? |

Hi, I came across this project and it seemed really cool. I already had Home Assistant running on my NAS, so I thought I'd give it a go. When adding any song to the queue via the web interface, I do see the queue notification being triggered, but the song is not added to the queue. I am using some Google Home/Nest devices (so chromecast) and some device groups I created. I have configured the jukebox automation (and the html file) to use a group called media_player.downstairs_2 (the _2 got added as this is the MA version of the group). I have connected my spotify account and can search for songs without any issue. Manually adding a song to the group's queue also works. Even the queue length automation works, because as soon as that initial song is finished, MA will start playing my predefined playlist. Can't seem to figure out why selected songs do not end up in the queue. Any help or pointers are highly appreciated. Btw, I also tried with a specific device (instead of a device group) to see if that would work, but gives the same issue. UPDATE: One question though, I noticed that if the queue is empty, adding the first song into the queue does not automatically start the player. Is there already anything automated around this I could use? Otherwise I think I can create my own automation around this, since we already have the queue notification and the queue counter. |

I just got this working as well and noticed the same behavior when the first song is added to the queue. It would be great if it started playing automatically when the first song was added, or the default playlist started when the queue was opened. |

Auto playing the default queue is now a configurable option in the latest release :) |

I've noticed that my queue never decreases as songs finish, but instead, those songs are moved from "QUEUE" to "PLAYED" so it just keeps increasing. Since the queue never returns to 0, my default playlist doesn't start and I'm left without any music. Maybe I missed something? |

When did you setup your configuration? The fix is based on this issue. I'm using spotify as music provider and this fix works great here. |

I set it up last week which would explain it. The updated code works great and my apologies for not checking the Issues section first. Thanks for the quick response! |

Hi. I love the look of this project but I am getting stuck at step 2. Apologies I am still fairly new to HA. Step 2 has this: "Create these helpers in Home Assistant by adding this code to your configuration.yaml or creating them via in Settings > Devices and Services > Helpers :" It looks like there's something missing between the "via" and "in"? I can't seem to find a way to add it as it exists via the UI. I think I am probably missing something? Also don't seem to be able to access config/configuration.yaml via the File editor add-on (probably my own lack of knowledge there). Thanks for any help. |

Good day DJS91 How to solve the "An error occurred while searching for songs" issue? Thank you :-) |

When I try search for a song in my Jukebox web page, a pop-up displays stating "An error occurred while searching for songs"

This is likely something to do with accessing or reading the key file or token, check the file names are correct, the error detail will be in the browser console so I would check that and go from there. Also check that all the variables in the html are correct. |

I also get this error. Brower console returns this: jukebox.html:856 jukebox.html:894 Error checking service: TypeError: Failed to fetch Any ideas? |

Fixed it! In my .html config I entered const HAURL = 'http://192.168.21.6.local:8123'; // Your internal HA URL IP But instead I needed to use: http://homeassistant.local:8123 |

If we installed this manually (the old way) and now want to install via HACS... what do we need to remove from the old install? The manual html/bg file? the configuration.yaml code? the automations we created manually? the switches? Just want to make sure I don't mess something up reinstalling this via HACS. Thanks! |

thanks, got it working. quick question... if i enter my playlist to use when the queue is empty (which is 400+ songs) and turn on the switch to enable searching, all 400+ songs get queued. is the app able to override the queue or push songs to the top now when people add them? what is the best way to handle it? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

It does this already. It lets the current playing song finished and then starts any requested songs until finished, then loads the default queue back in a random order. Due to a limitation of MA functions, it has to replace the queue when new songs are added, It can't insert into the default queue unfortunately. Functionally it should play songs in order like a jukebox as you'd expect though. Try it out and you'll see what I mean |

Sweet... that functionality will be fine. just want to make sure peoples songs queue up. this app is really coming along and is awesome. they should integrate it with music assistant out of the box! |

Would be great if Music Assistant expanded supported Home Assistant actions. |

Is there a way to have this setup on multiple players. For example have a living room jukebox, kitchen jukebox, etc? |

Not currently, this would be a major overhaul. It's really designed to be more of a simple party tool rather than a multi speaker/playlist manager. |

Hey there. I just installed Music Assistant and Music Assistant Jukebox. I have a question in case I have not set up either correctly. Does the search function return only 10 items? For example, If I search for DMX, it will only show 10 tracks/ I ask as it appears that I need to very specific with spelling. If I am wrong, I do apologies. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? |
