Just tried to install I get the same error, kind of found that its the sqlalchemy version, HASS Recorder uses SQLAlchemy 2.0.4 but MASS demands for sqlalchemy-1.4.46. I tried to fix but get the following error

I will not fix it anymore this time. V2 launch is very soon and then we can say goodbye to these kind of dependency conflicts forever. So for now, stick with previous HA or live a while without MA ;-)

I am really working on the last bits of MA v2.0 so keep an eye on discord for the beta instructions.

[OzGav]

Impossible to say with certainty but days to weeks not months.

Hopefully V2 will be awesome! I always update on day one, so going without it for now, but it was always giving me issues with yotube music anyways, so here's hoping V2 will be smoother!

Hey now, not cool to hurry up someone doing awesome stuff for free :)

[OzGav]

V2 is available . Note that it is still in beta so other issues may arise.

do we have to uninstall the previous version?

[OzGav]

You need to temporary disable the MA integration in HA, they can be installed at the same time but not run at the same time.

Make sure to not run HA slimproto integration and/or LMS at the same time as MA 2.0

V2 可用。請注意，它仍處於測試階段，因此可能會出現其他問題。

Thank you for your selfless dedication

"This add-on is incompatible with your device's processor or the operating system you have installed on your device"
What shall I do? Is raspberry pi 3 support planned?

[OzGav]

Are you running the 32 bit version of the OS?

[znack14]

Вы используете 32-битную версию ОС?

yes i have a small raspberry pi 3

[OzGav]

There is a 64bit version of HA for the Raspberry Pi 3. I am assuming that is why you can’t install the add on

[znack14]

Для Raspberry Pi 3 существует 64-битная версия HA. Я предполагаю, что именно поэтому вы не можете установить надстройку

yes I have armv7L. But there will be no other. It is bad that it is not installed.

[OzGav]

Not sure. This says the raspberry pi 3 has an arm v8 https://pi.processing.org/technical/

There is a 64bit version of the HAOS for the raspberry pi 3

[znack14]

Ах, вычислительный модуль! Хорошо, тогда я спрошу у разработчиков, но я не думаю, что MA будет работать с 32-битной версией. Я подтвержу для вас.

thank you

[OzGav]

@znack14 Sorry MA V2 will not run on your hardware. 1GB RAM is not enough as HA alone needs that. To run HA and MA together the advice is:
Minimal rpi4 (or comparable), no rpi 3
64 bits cpu and OS
absolute minimum of 2gb memory, 4 gb or higher recommended

[FedericoBS]

I can not find the advanced option on the queue in the beta version. i need to disable the icy metadata to avoid stuttering. Can you help?
In the beta version i can not adjust the group volume as in the previous.

[OzGav]

ICY metadata has been left out of the current beta as there should be no need for such advanced settings to begin with. Marcel said he can add them back if there really is a demand/need. Is the issue exactly the same or does the music just stutter sometimes ? Stuttering has nothing to do with ICY. A lot of awful noise does.

[jurgenhaas]

How can I install this AddOn if I'm running HA in Docker, i.e. without supervisor?

[OzGav]

Have a look at post 2 in the beta channel https://discord.com/channels/753947050995089438/1083643113484070953

[jurgenhaas]

Mmph, I need Discord??? My goodness, this is one of the worst platforms wrt privacy. Nayways, I logged into an account but the link responds with "No text channels". Is it too much to ask for providing required information here in the repo?

[OzGav]

Just trying to save the duplication..

HOW TO INSTALL/RUN THE BETA OF 2.0 ?

Preferred method: Home Assistant Add
By far the most convenient way to run the Music Assistant Server is to install the Music Assistant Add-on:

Add the Music Assistant repository to your Home Assistant instance.
Install the Music Assistant add-on.
Add repository on my Home Assistant

Click the link below to add the Music Assistant repository to HA:
https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor_add_addon_repository/?repository_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmusic-assistant%2Fhome-assistant-addon

Alternative method: Docker image
An alternative way to run the Music Assistant server is by running the docker image:

docker run --network host ghcr.io/music-assistant/server

You must run the docker container with host network mode and the data volume is /data. If you want access to your local music files from within MA, make sure to also mount that, e.g. /media. Note that accessing remote (SMB) shares can be done from within MA itself using the SMB File provider.

[jurgenhaas]

Thanks a lot @OzGav much appreciated. The problem with that link is that it only works when HA is run with supervisor, otherwise that link doesn't work, right?

So I have to go with the separate docker image, which is fine too.

[schoenwaldnils]

Is the V2 the default when adding it via this link?
I still get the same error as before.
Config flow could not be loaded: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

So Mass is now an separate addon rather than a HACS addon?

I assume this excludes the use of HomeAssistant media players which was the main reason for using it, I currently use it to play to a Yamaha receiver which is no longer accessible, the only thing it’s seeing is my pc as a “Chromecast”.

edit: it’s now seeing my Yamaha receiver, how do you add a network share as a provider?
Previously I had to mount my network share inside hass. Also, does anyone have an automation example that would play a playlist using MASS V2 on an a receiver?

[OzGav]

Yes docker for you

You need to disable or remove the existing integration then install the new add on.

V2 has samba shares as a provider now so mounting not required
Current,y there is no HA integration so automations don’t work. Expect the integration in about a week.

I am also on same boat with rpi 3 :( would be soo great if you can fix V1 for backwards Compatibility

[OzGav]

I’m sorry but it is impossible to fix V1 as this is due to HA changes not MA

[andrewigali]

Installed the v2 beta on Rspberry4 Argon One HAOS 2023.3.3, Supervisor 2023.03.1, but can't running. Clicked the Start button, but nothing happened. No error on log and i can't sett.
The old HACS version can't loading, not work. :(
I restored to an earlier system version, but not helped.
Now the Music Assistant doesn't work at all. :(

[OzGav]

You can’t have both running at once. Make sure V1 integration is disabled or removed prior to trying to start the add on

[andrewigali]

Unfortunately, it doesn't work even if I disable Music Assistant in the Settings Devices & Services menu.
Can someone make a video on how to switch from the no longer working Music Assistant to the new version?

[OzGav]

There was an issue with one of the beta. Which beta do you have installed? Make sure you have the latest.

2.0.0b4

In Music Assistant log:

The speakers are Google Nest Audio.
But doesn't work. :(

[OzGav]

I think you should open a separate issue for us to step through this. The screen capture above shows MA working. It has started and has found your players. So you saying it doesn’t work is not clearly explaining what isn’t working.

[andrewigali]

This is the problem:

[OzGav]

As I said above please open a separate issue. I will remove the above posts soon to reduce this thread length. Just add all that you posted above.
