Roku integration fails to play FLAC files #119034

Update: This turned out to be a duplicate of #83819.

The problem

I'm using Music Assistant to play music on my Roku TV.

I configured MA, and got my TV to show up as a device, but when I hit play nothing happens.

In HA logs, I see (full error below):

Media type music is not supported with format None (mime: audio/flac)

This looks to be due to FLAC not being in these lists: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/roku/media_player.py#L50, https://github.com/ctalkington/python-rokuecp/blob/c61440be3041a0cf1854f6d340b57b4dc096e53d/src/rokuecp/helpers.py#L13

I'm able to play FLAC files through the default media player app, so I think this should be possible. Thanks!

Edit: Maybe not, see comments.

Unfortunately it doesn't look to be as simple as updating the supported formats/mimetypes lists to add FLAC.

Unless I did it wrong, going into my home assistant install and updating the two files mentioned to support FLAC file types as music causes the "Play on Roku" to show up on my TV, but then it immediately exits.

danvolchek · 2024-06-07T04:13:55Z

Play on Roku doesn't support FLAC, apparently: https://support.roku.com/article/208755108#section-2

danvolchek · 2024-06-07T04:15:41Z

Music Assistant only supports outputting in FLAC it looks like: https://music-assistant.io/faq/troubleshooting/ (ctrl+f FLAC)

danvolchek · 2024-06-07T04:24:59Z

Also relevant: https://github.com/orgs/music-assistant/discussions/430

If Roku truly cannot play FLAC files, then it's up to Music Assistant to provide a different codec, if possible.

Is there a way to play audio on Roku that's through the Media Player app rather than Play on Roku? It supports a much wider range of file types.

danvolchek · 2024-06-07T15:47:52Z

I figured out how to get Music Assistant to send MP3 files to Home Assistant/the Roku integration, and confirmed it's getting MP3 files as the media id, and that there are no errors in HA logs, but Roku Play still immediately exits like before.

I'm not sure how to debug this further. What should I do next? Thanks!

ctalkington · 2024-06-07T21:55:00Z

Play on Roku was nerfed by Roku in the recent past. They claim security and implemented a different protocol for their mobile apps. HA integration hasn't been updated to support such (the feature has been removed from docs temporarily) but the intent is to try and reimplmwnt the new protocol or allow sending to specific app ID but it just hasn't been an item that I could get to yet. Ref #83819

danvolchek · 2024-06-07T22:02:35Z

Oh dang, that sucks.

Thank you for the info, I didn't find that issue because I thought it was a codec problem.

This is a duplicate then - I'll close it.
