Linux desktop agent to allow MPRIS multimedia control from Home Assistant

This package contains the agent that Home Assistant connects to in order to govern multimedia playback.

Dependencies

Install GTK+ 4 and libnotify on your system. These should be packages provided by the system.

This package

Install this package on your computer, then run the program hassmpris-settings to turn the agent on.

Firewall rules

Don't forget to open the requisite firewall ports to allow communication from Home Assistant:

• TCP port 40051
• TCP port 40052

Pair with Home Assistant

Once the agent is running you can connect to your computer from Home Assistant.

Troubleshooting and help

The client utility available here will help you debug issues by allowing you to connect to the agent from your machine or another machine.

If the agent is giving you trouble or not working as it's meant to, you may want to look at your system logs. E.g. if running the agent under your desktop session, look at the log files for the session using journalctl or under the file ~/.xsession-errors. You should make a copy of any traceback of interest.
