The `forked_daapd` integration allows you to control your [OwnTone (previously forked-daapd)](https://github.com/owntone/owntone-server) server from Home Assistant. This integration can control the forked-daapd outputs (zones) with limited playback control (play/pause, previous/next track) and media info support. Playlist manipulation is not supported.

## Requirements
The `forked_daapd` integration requires a OwnTone server built with libwebsockets enabled, version >= 27.0.

## Outputs
Once the `forked-daapd` integration is set up, outputs will automatically be loaded from the server and added to HA in real time.

## Pipes
As OwnTone supports playing audio input via a pipe, this integration supports the forwarding of basic player controls (play, pause, next track, previous track) directly to the pipe's source. Currently only the pipe source librespot-java is supported. To use this, configure your forked-daapd server to autostart pipes and name your librespot-java pipe "librespot-java" (accompanying metadata is also supported through forked-daapd via a metadata pipe named"librespot-java.metadata"). The `forked-daapd` integration will find the librespot-java pipe in the database and will set it up as a source.

## Playlists
The `forked-daapd` integration will treat playlists in the database as sources. The number of playlists shown as sources can be set in the integration's configuration options.

## Spotify
The Owntone integration supports media browsing via the [Spotify integration](/integrations/spotify). However, to play Spotify content, your Owntone instance must be logged in with Spotify. This can be done through Owntone's own web interface. For more details, see [Owntone's notes on Spotify](https://owntone.github.io/owntone-server/integrations/spotify/#spotify). You should log in with the same Spotify account for both the Owntone server and the Home Assistant [Spotify integration](/integrations/spotify).
