Does not find any videos in local media

[bsafh]

Error message:

Invalid path. media-source://media_source/video/Japan

the media browser in HA does find the videos, URL is:

http://192.168.80.21:8123/media-browser/browser/app%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fmedia_source/%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fmedia_source%2Fvideo%2F./%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fmedia_source%2Fvideo%2FJapan

This translates to media-source://media_source/,media-source://media_source/video/./,media-source://media_source/video/Japan without UTL-Encoding, so the path media-source://media_source/video/Japan/ seems to be correct

It's HA Supervised installation (latest 2022.10.x) on Debioan, the "real" path is
root@homeassistant:/usr/share/hassio/media/video/Japan, the HassIO docker container sees this as /media/video/Japan

And yes, there are videos in there...

so, what's wrong here?

type: custom:gallery-card
entities:
  - path: media-source://media_source/video/Japan
    recursive: true
title: Japan Videos
show_reload: true
menu_alignment: responsive

Is this a media source you added, or is it one generated by default within HA?

I've yet to update the card's code to handle "recent" (last 6 months maybe) updates to HA's media sources. So it's possible you've fallen into that deficiency in the card. I do plan to do so but I'm not sure when I will have time to do the work.

You can try manually adding the media source and then using that name to see if that works:

1. Add in configuration.yaml a media source (if it is not already):
   media_dirs: Japan: [*path to video*]/video/Japan

2. use the media source in the path:
   `

• path: media-source://media_source/Japan/

I have used the mrdia_source path (Option 2), but the "Japan" directory is a subdirectory of a media_dir defined in configuration.yaml as well. TarheelGrad1998 ***@***.***> schrieb am Di., 1. Nov. 2022, 16:28:

Ah, sorry, gotcha. Then that should work then.

Is that the proper case? Also, have you tried it with the trailing "/"?

media-source://media_source/video/Japan/

I'll try the trailing / TarheelGrad1998 ***@***.***> schrieb am Di., 1. Nov. 2022, 18:50:

Not sure if you've had any luck with this, but try the new options in v3.4 and see if they help
