Setup

2. Select Mopidy in the list of integrations
3. Fill out the requested information. Make sure to enter your correct FQDN or IP address. Using localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1 or any other loopback address will disable Mopidy-Local artwork.
4. Click Submit.

Repeat the above steps to add more Mopidy Server instances.

Manual Configuration

1. add a media player to your home assistant configuration (<config dir>/configuration.yaml):

media_player:
- name: <mopidy identifier>
  host: <FQDN or IP address>
  port: <port if different from 6680>
  platform: mopidy

2. Restart your Home assistant to make changes take effect.

Configuration

- name: <mopidy name>      # The name of your Mopidy server.
  host: <fqdn/ip address>  # The FQDN or IP address of your Mopidy Server, do not use ::1, localhost or 127.0.0.1
  port: <port number>      # The port number of the Mopidy Server, default: 6680
  platform: mopidy         # specify mopidy platform

Services

Service media_player.play_media

The media_content_id needs to be formatted according to the Mopidy URI scheme. These can be easily found using the Developer tools.

When using the play_media service, the Mopidy Media Player platform will attempt to discover your URL when not properly formatted. Currently supported for:

• Youtube

Notes

Due to the nature of the way Mopidy provides thumbnails of the media, proxying them through Home Assistant is very resource intensive, causing delays. Therefore, I have decided to not proxy the art when using the Media Library for the time being.
