I’m having a bit of trouble getting this done. It looked so simple to accomplish, but it proved me wrong. What I wanted to do is to preview a snapshot from a camera to the Sony Bravia TV when an action is triggered.
Manually previewing this by going to Media Browser, selecting the TV as the player, and previewing the image shows the image on the TV. But automating it doesn’t work.
As a test, I tried this in the Developer Tools.
service: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.xbr_43x830c
data:
media_content_id: 'https://mark.nl.tab.digital/s/yKzwBCnsBxJjLsJ/download/doorbell.png'
media_content_type: image
This doesn’t work. It only turns on the TV and goes to “Home Assistant Media Player”. But not showing the image.
If I play music instead, it works as it should be:
service: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.xbr_43x830c
data:
media_content_id: 'https://mark.nl.tab.digital/s/KE3etGbte2FLHqo/download/Hallelujah%20Intro.mp3'
media_content_type: music
By the way, the media_content_id are working links.
