Any chance of media player integration

[bashers222]

Help me out here @bashers222 please, what type of media player or integration do you have in HA?

I would love to be able to perform basic control of media players from Music Assistant https://www.music-assistant.io/.

@rowanmoor if you install this plugin you can use it to call scripts
I have a script that controls play/pause and volume up/down on a certain media player
I've assigned this action to a dial where i can control volume and play/pause a media player in HA

alias: Office - Turn UP
sequence:
  - metadata: {}
    data:
      volume_level: "{{ states.media_player.office.attributes.volume_level + 0.03}}"
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.office
    action: media_player.volume_set
description: ""

Expand on this for transport controls

@bashers222 I must be missing something. I can't get scripts to show up in LoupeDeck. I have put that exact script in and it won't show in LoupeDeck. I can get Automations to show, but they have state so can't be used for a dial. How did you get the script to show in LoupeDeck to be usable?

I see what the problem is. For some reason it won't update the plugin to version 0.7 which is where script support was added. I wouldn't expect it to update to 0.8 as I haven't updated LoupeDeck to v6 yet due to another plugin that isn't compatible. But 0.7 looks to still be compatible with LoupeDeck 5, but 0.6 is the highest in the marketplace that it thinks is compatible. I will try manually downloading v0.7.

All sorted now with scripts. Thanks for the pointer - it was enough to get me there.
