This is a media player UI for Home-Assistant leveraging the potential of the excellent new Lovelace UI.
It allows you to configure a set of web radio stations (or possibly other radio media IDs such as spotify), and play them to media player entities of your choice, like chromecast or spotify connect listeners.
You can send different media to different players, which makes it usable for multi-room setups: Let your kids listen to some Frozen, while you're Jazzing in the Kitchen. Volume-Level is handled separately, too.
Apart from the home-assistant project, I need to say thanks to User Bob_NL who made his evergreen Chromecast Radio available to all of us in the Home-Assistant forums. This jukebox is heavily deriving from the great work of all the people in the thread.
This will take time, but do set up your home-assistant to use the new Lovelace frontend, if you're not using it yet.
Grab a copy of jukebox.js and save it into your home-assistant's configuration, in a folder called "www". So:
- /.homeassistant
|___ /configuration.yaml
|___ /www/jukebox-card.js
Find stream URLs, e.g. on Radio-Browser.info See this example setting a couple of Web radios to my two chromecast players.
