V1.0.18: exported mass media player out of sync

See original GitHub issue

The exported mass media players can easily get out of sync with source players. scenario:

In MA start a cast of a Spotify playlist to a single CC / CC group of a Spotify playlist(group or single doesn’t make a difference in behavior)
Connected a mobile Spotify app to the same CC / CC group (other Spotify account)
Then I started a new cast from my mobile
Although the mobile Spotify playlist took over the CC group, MA still thinks the original playlists are playing

State of the exported CC also didn’t get back in sync after a while (after the next number or so). MA in the UI still suggests that each CC is playing their queue assigned by MA to that CC. Not the queue of the CC group that was playing !!!

I’ve added the additional metadata. Fix will be in the next release.

The BrokenPipe error can be ignored. That is one I need to solve with the HA core devs to hide it. It means that the stream got interrupted, hence the “broken pipe”. It happens when you skip a song or stop it. Somehow the HA eventloop ignores the fact this this error should be suppressed. So just ignore it, just like the “stream error” this is an “expected” error. For me good while in beta stage to keep track how MA is behaving and I have to hide it all once we move to a more stable/definitive situation.

Great to hear that the initial issue is resolved. At this time MA just completely ignores the player when it is playing from another source. I guess you’re right that I could display the “origin” metadata on the HA media player object. I’ll take a look at adding that
