[FEATURE REQUEST] Add podcasts and audiobooks to blueprint

[Pittermaennchen]

Since podcast and audiobook support is here, now it would be great to add those in this blueprint as well.

I tried to add those in my version of this script in adding two lines to the first prompt, each for podcasts and for audiobooks, but without great success. Obviously I missed something.

podcast and audiobook support have been added to the BETA 2.4 version of the MA server, but they are not added to the core integration yet. Before this can work with the blueprint, the core integration needs to be updated.

After this has been done, the blueprint can be updated.

I simply modified the standard prompt as follows for Audio books/plays and that works fine (at least with Spotify):

• "album" if the search is about an album, a list of albums, an audio book or audio play.

It turns out that HA does indeed accept audiobook and podcast already in the media type field even though the HA integration has not been adjusted so indeed the voice intents may already work this way (if you are running MA beta)

Wondering if this is still planned. I have been struggling to get audiobooks to play with my LLM

Before I can add my GPodder instance to music assistant, I need a way to definitively specify the provider when I ask it to play something. My family all has podcasts queues, and I don't want to accidentally screw up somebody elses or them mine! It would be like somebody watching random shows on your netflix profile :D

Tried this, and it doesn't work for me, local audiobooks not spotify.

Would be great if this was possible.

@danfulton72 I modified the mass_assist_blueprint_en.yaml script to support local audiobooks, you can check it out here - https://github.com/JoshwJB/blueprints/blob/main/mass_assist_blueprint_en.yaml

The main issue with the existing script was none of the triggers set the media_type to audiobook.

Great, will give that a try, thanks

@JoshwJB - finally got round to trying this, first impression is it works well 👍

[zackslash]

Hey @JoshwJB, great work! Any chance you would consider a PR into the official branch? This is the main functionality I'm waiting on to be able to migrate from Alexa/Echo over to music assistant! 😃

[JoshwJB]

@zackslash Yeah no problem, I've raised a PR here - #108
