I cannot get HA to play to the TV using Music Assistant.
What I did:

  • Install the LG WebOS integration, that works with al functions, entity_id is media_player.lg_webos_tv
  • Install the Music Assistant Server add-on, without any configuration and start it
  • The Music Assistant Integratiion is automatically recognized and I installed it
  • Back to the Music Assistant Server, add a Music Provider (File System, remote share), add Home Assistant MediaPlayers and select the webOS tv
  • In the Music Assistant Integration no device/entity is found
  • Restart Home Assistant (not just reload config)
  • Now the Music Assistant Integration has a device and an entity, but the entity_id of the TV is media_player.lg_webos_tv_2

That latest entity gets the music information I want it to get, but in Music Assistant Server the id of the player is the one without the added "_2". So I think the music goes nowhere.

What can I do?

Does your TV support AirPlay or Chromecast? Or only DLNA?

The webos_tv (or webos_tv_2) media_player entities are for controlling the TV, but do not support streaming IIRC. You need to stream using another protocol.
