So, I'm setting up my HA install for Halloween. Since I will be focusing on outdoor, I have set up a pair of loud speakers (hidden from view!) connected to a dedicated laptop (could be Mac, could be Ubuntu).
Now I'd like to play different sound effects on the laptop, remotely controlled 100% by my Home Assistant running elsewhere.
The main challenge here is:
- Multiple audio playbacks simultaneously
- Individual volume per playback
- Possibility to playback continuously (with fade in and out)
- Stop any or all playbacks
Before I start writing my own OSC controlled media player I'd like to know if there are anything out there already? Or if there are other ways to achieve this?
