I can't see Media Player
Hello!
I'm trying to see media player in Home Assistant, but unfortunately the HASS Agent's device of my PC is 'unavailable'.
The MQTT stuff works and I can transmit sensors data and send signals to PC just fine. It's just that the HASS Agent device appears to be 'unavailable'.
I already did a mild attempt of reinstalling HASS Agent on PC and HASS Integration in HA.
(I removed HASS Integration from custom_components, rebooted ha, installed it back, rebooted ha. For HASS Agent on PC, I uninstalled it and wiped it's appdata files and installed it back again)
TL;DR:
- MQTT works
- HASS Agent Device doesn't work - I don't have media player. It says 'unavailable'
All help is super appreciated - I'm a Home Assistant noob so I'm sorry if I didn't provide you with necessary logs, etc. - I simply don't know where to find them. But when I went to 'Settings' -> Logs, it didnt say anything useful.

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having the exact same issue.

Nope, but I saw someone apparently fixed it by resetting their mqtt account and connection.
I'll be trying again later as I need that sweet media player entity
Maybe I'll try to connect a different PC.
It's weird because everything works, just the pc entity remains unavailable. But all sensors report data well.
@LowkeyToq tagging so you can see I answered

Thank you. Yep, it's exactly the same thing I'm encountering. All my sensors and commands work just fine.
@LowkeyToq and @Szymon could you check home assistant logs for anything from the integration
From memory I think it's settings system(general) logs

When exactly should logs appear? I don't see anything after ha restart
Only if there's errors, all good
Try following this and check for hass.agent media player config in Ur Mqtt broker

And could you both check if you have v2 of the integration. Is called hass.agent 2

Not sure which part that fixed it as I've done a bit of everythijng by now.
MQQT Explorer helped me realise that old entries from a past version of the same laptop had lingered. I cleaned it out from MQTT explorer and tried to fully reinstall the agent (which was v2).
So now it suddenly works.
Thank you for the link!

👀 I will try that asap
I have downloaded hass integration from github as a zip, is that correct form of installation or do I need to do it differently?
Where do I check hass agent media player config in mqtt broker?
Unfortunately as of now, my pc instance remains 'unavailable'.
I also noticed on sensors my pc is called "predator_something" but the media player thing is called "KomputerSzymona".
Could that mean anything?
U can check all of the topics with the link I sent above

I have finally got time to do this - it was actually very easy, I removed all HASS Agent entities in MQTT and then readded in Home Assistant and bam - works! Thank you! ❤️
