It's possible to play with other apps than the default media receiver.
|
||||
To do so, `media_content_type` should be set to `cast`, and `media_content_id` should be a JSON dict with parameters for the app, including the app name.
|
||||
|
||||
### BubbleUPNP
|
||||
|
||||
The BubbleUPNP app has similar functionality to the built in Default Media Receiver app, and can be used as a backup if the default app fails to play the media.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Media parameters
|
||||
|
||||
Mandatory:
|
||||
|
||||
- `app_name`: `bubbleupnp`
|
||||
- `media_id`: The URL to play
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
|
||||
- `media_type`: Media type, e.g. `video/mp4`, `audio/mp3`, `image/jpeg`, defaults to `video/mp4`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
'cast_bubbleupnp_to_my_chromecast':
|
||||
alias: "Cast a video to My Chromecast using BubbleUPNP"
|
||||
sequence:
|
||||
- target:
|
||||
entity_id: media_player.my_chromecast
|
||||
data:
|
||||
media_content_type: cast
|
||||
media_content_id: '
|
||||
{
|
||||
"app_name": "bubbleupnp",
|
||||
"media_id": "http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4",
|
||||
"media_type": "video/mp4"
|
||||
}'
|
||||
service: media_player.play_media
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### YouTube
|
||||
|
||||
#### Media parameters
|
||||
|
||||
Mandatory:
|
||||
|
||||
- `app_name`: `youtube`
|
||||
- `media_id`: YouTube video ID
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
|
||||
- `enqueue`: Enqueue only
|
||||
- `playlist_id`: Play video with `media_id` from this playlist. Note that only providing `playlist_id` but no `media_id` does not work.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
'cast_youtube_to_my_chromecast':
|
||||
alias: "Cast YouTube to My Chromecast"
|
||||

data:
|

{
|
||||
"app_name": "youtube",
|
||||
"media_id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ"
|
||||
}'
|
||||
service: media_player.play_media
|
||||
```
|

|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
'cast_supla_to_my_chromecast':
|
||||
alias: "Cast supla to My Chromecast"
|
||||

|
||||
entity_id: media_player.my_chromecast
|
||||
data:
|
||||
media_content_type: cast
|
||||
media_content_id: '
|
||||
{
|
||||
"app_name": "supla",
|
||||
"media_id": "3601824"
|
||||
}'
|
||||
service: media_player.play_media
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Plex
|
||||
|
||||
To cast media directly from a configured Plex server, set the fields [as documented in the Plex integration](/integrations/plex/#service-play_media) and prepend the `media_content_id` with `plex://`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
'cast_plex_to_chromecast':
|
||||
alias: "Cast Plex to Chromecast"
|
||||
sequence:
|
||||
- service: media_player.play_media
|
||||
target:
|
||||
entity_id: media_player.chromecast
|
||||
data:
|
||||
media_content_type: movie
|
||||
media_content_id: 'plex://{"library_name": "Movies", "title": "Groundhog Day"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### [BBC Sounds](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds)
|
||||
|
||||
This app doesn't retrieve its own metadata, so if you want the cast interface or media player card to show titles and/or images you will have to provide the data yourself. See the examples below.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Media ID is NOT the 8 digit alphanumeric in the URL, it can be found by right-clicking the playing audio clip. E.g., [this episode](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p009ycqy) shows:
|
||||
|
||||
| | |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| 128bps | dash (mf_cloudfront_nonbidi_dash_https) |
|
||||
| p009ycqz | |
|
||||
|
||||
With p009ycqz being the `media_id`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Media parameters
|
||||
|
||||
Mandatory:
|
||||
|
||||
- `app_name`: `bbcsounds`
|
||||
- `media_id`: Item ID
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
|
||||
- `is_live`: Item is a live stream

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting automatic discovery
|
||||
|
||||
mDNS relies on UDP multicast, which may fail for various reasons. If none of the tips in this section helps, the recommended solution is to ensure all cast devices have static IPs assigned to them and configure a list of known hosts.
