Player status

[JohannCR]

Hi !

Awesome, works very well. You deserve a thank you ! ^^
Two suggestions :

• clarify a little the folder structure where to put the js file because I've had to try several times until I found the right one.
• Is it possible to get a few sensors ?
  Like is the player on/off, is the tv on, which channel is showing, etc. Player on/off would be the most useful I think.

Cheers and thanks again

Also the code "back" for the back button doesn't seem to work... Is anyone else experiencing it too ?

Is there any way to pause for a second between commands ?
Thanks !

It appears some buttons work differently than those of the remote. For example :

• on netflix and deezer, the "back" command goes back from internal menus but does not go back to the home page like the remote does.
• the pause command works on deezer, but not on youtube.
  Are there particular reasons for this ?
  Thanks

Also, about the question of pausing between commands (got some weird behaviour when biulding long multiple commands) I found a solution by editing the init file that I thought worth sharing if someone needs it:

`async def async_freebox_player_remote(call):
        """Handle old player control (remote emulation)"""
        code_list = call.data.get('code')
        code_array = code_list.split(',')
        """Handle multiple codes, separated by comma"""
        for code in code_array:
            if code == ".":
                time.sleep(1)
            elif code != 'slow': 
                requests.get(player_path+code, verify=False)
                if code_array[0] == 'slow':
                    time.sleep(0.5)`

I use "." as a command to pause for a second at one point, and the command "slow" as first command in a list in order to pause systematically half a second between each code.
I'm open to suggestions if there is a better way to do it ^^

getting a sensor on status would really help build automations....
