mpc_hc
The current mpchc integration in homeassistant violates ADR0004, so it will be deleted from core. This is just the existing integration copied to a separate repo.
The name of the integration changed from mpchc to mpc_hc to solve possible name conflicts.
Installation
It should be added to HACS at one point.
Manual installation
Copy mpc_hc folder to your custom_components folder, and restart home-assistant.
Notes
The main mpc-hc is unmaitained, it’s recommended to use this maintained fork instead: clsid2/mpc-hc: Media Player Classic
Usage
The mpc_hc platform allows you to connect a Media Player Classic Home Cinema to Home Assistant. It will allow you to see the current playing item, and respond to changes in the player’s state.
For this integration to function, you will need to enable the Web Interface in the MPC-HC options dialog:
If the server running Home Assistant is not the same device that is running MPC-HC, you will need to ensure that the allow access from localhost only option is not set.
⚠️
Warning
The MPC-HC web interface is highly insecure, and allows remote clients full player control file-system access without authentication. Never allow access to the Web UI from outside of your trusted network, and if possible use a proxy script to restrict control or redact sensitive information.
Configuration
To add MPC-HC to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: mpc_hc
host: http://192.168.0.123
