Hi @Joe31388

We use GitHub for tracking issues with Home Assistant Core itself, not for providing support - so if you could provide more details like logs or any other helpful diagnostics data or error details or steps how to reproduce or your configuration, than we can handle it as an issue report, else it is a support request and you should try our Community Forum or join our Discord chat server.

Thanks! 👍

I am not OP, but using a Wiim Amp have the same issue. The status will never say "playing", there is no "wifi" source option (related?) and there is no seek or power option on the device page:

And when using a UI media player interface with a power option, clicking it gives this error:

[Joe31388]

This error shows up when trying to seek.

[silamon]

I'm trying to get diagnostics added to the integration so this can be further diagnosed.

[silamon]

Could you share the output of http(s)://<ip>/httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatusEx when the device reports "Idle" in Home Assistant? Based on the device, it may be http or https.

Just as a note:

• Support for the stop/power off has been added just today.
• Seek options are only available when it reports playing, for some reason it says "idle".
• The wifi option is missing. I see some implementations add this by default.
• It should be smart enough to check upon start if the player supports http or https. I'm not sure why it throws errors there.

Just noticed this in the logs too:

Not sure what your are asking. When I enter this address in my browser with the speaker ip I get a bad cert error.

[silamon]

I'll wait for the debugging and diagnostics to be added, which will probably land in 2024.11.0.

If you want to try another attempt:

http://<ip>/httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatus https://<ip>/httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatus http://<ip>/httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatusEx https://<ip>/httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatusEx

Any of the previous links should definiately work, but it's based on what device you own.

Also consider to test on the latest stable version if you don't already.

[Joe31388]

Tried them all and they fail with connection refused. https://my Speaker IP/httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatusEx gives out a cert error.

I can play music to this speaker with the integration without issue.

[silamon]

We'll wait for the debugging to be added then, thanks for trying though! :)

@Joe31388 @corgana If you have already upgraded to 2024.11.0, chances are big you may have seen that most of the issues posted in this issue are solved. If not or some issue still happens, enable debug logging in that version and provide the logging if possible. Looking forward to hear back.

I also noticed these in the log (as far as I can tell they were triggered before I was trying to "power off")

That's very unfortunate. Thank you for providing the information, perfect to get issue further progressed towards resolution.

[silamon]

With your last debug logs, I found the issue. Thank you, once again! It will be available in v2024.11.2.

Summarizing:

• Seek support added: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/130349
• Found the playing mode 32 in the custom component of wiimu: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/130351
• No longer thrown an error in the logging when the device is offline: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/130161
• Add stop (power off idle command) support: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/126941
