Jellyfin Integration : Reopen Issue Request #94801 - KeyError: 'RunTimeTicks' when streaming Live TV from another device

[timkeefer1]

The problem

I have another device on my network (Roku) streaming live TV from Jellyfin. The streaming is from the Roku Jellyfin channel, using a HDHomeRun. None of the playing was initiated from HA, and the Jellyfin instance is even running on another server (docker container on other physical hardware). This error begins when my live TV streaming is initiated and is logged approximately every 10 seconds.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.1.1

Hi @timkeefer1,

Thanks for reporting this. I did not write the MediaPlayer part of this integration, but I think I see what the problem is. Jellyfin probably does not report a duration for live media. The API also defines it as optional, so I think it is safe to say we should check whether Jellyfin reports any duration and otherwise ignore it.

I have no way to verify the fix though as I do not use live tv, but I'll get a PR opened to get this fixed.
