Hi there! Sorry to hear about your error, what model of the raspberry pi are you using?

[sanilkuma]

Raspberrypi3b+

Two week before working Update after not working

I now have the exact same error! It used to work like a dream, but an update or such broke it. I am now at the latest HassOS 3.12 and Home Assistant 106.6.

I get the errors above. The old device “bcm...” is no longer listed, and instead I have “default” or “Built in IEC958”. In both cases I get the errors above.

...Also PI 3B+

Everything points to the HA update, which I haven't downloaded yet. I'll be analyzing what in this update broke the add-on.
In the meantime, if you can, I suggest rolling back the update.
I'll be in touch. Thank you for the report!

The strange thing is that the problem started before I did the manual update, about two days ago. I was still at OS 2.something and Home Assistant 103 and have not updated for two months. My philosophy is once something is working well, I don’t touch it.

Something updated — I do not know what. I thought you updated VLC and did the manual update of the OS and Home Assistant in order to solve the problem.

At any rate, let us know what you come up with. I know you will get it sorted.

A quick chat with the Great Frenck pointed out to a change in the way the audio sources are managed and a new requirement on the docker image of the add-ons. I'll try to add and test the new requirement ASAP.

Rodrigo, any idea when this is going to be fixed?

[rodripf]

I followed @pvizeli instructions, but another error came up:

Now the plugin plays music at the second or third time you press play and the log is a hell of
alsa audio output error: cannot estimate delay: I/O error

I'll have to fix this new one before making a new release. I'm investigating on this.

Any good news on this front, dear Rodrigo?
