Features
- Targeted service calls —
remote_media_player.execute_scriptandremote_media_player.play_media_filenow accept Home Assistant's standardtarget:block (device_id,entity_id,area_id). Calls without a target keep the legacy fan-out behavior and run on every configured hub, so existing automations continue to work. Targets are resolved against the device/entity registries and filtered to Remote Media Player hubs only; unmatched targets log a warning and are skipped.services.yamldeclarestarget:withintegration: remote_media_player, and the voluptuous schemas accept thedevice_id/entity_id/area_idkeys HA injects.
execute_scriptparameter rename — the script payload field is nowparams:(a named dict, validated against the server-side script schema) instead of the previousargs:list. Breaking for automations that still useargs:; update them toparams:with the named keys your script expects.
Bug Fixes
- Compatibility with new browser-folders response shape —
MediaServerClient.list_browser_folders()now unwraps the new server response ({"folders": {...}, "management_enabled": bool}) introduced after server commitc9ee41a, while still accepting the older flat dict. Restores folder listing on freshly updated media servers.
UI / Localization
- Updated English and Russian translations +
strings.jsonfor the newtarget:-aware service descriptions and theparamsfield rename. Service descriptions now explain the "no target = all hubs" behavior.
Documentation
- README "Execute Script Service" section rewritten to document the
target:block, theparams:payload, and the destructive-script safety note.
All changes above are bundled in the single release commit tagged v0.3.2.

Features
- Foreground process sensors — new "Foreground" device (linked to the hub via
via_device) exposing what's currently in focus on the remote PC:sensor.foreground_process— process name as state, with full payload (PID, exec path, window title, fullscreen flag, monitor, geometry, browser detection, browser page title/URL, error) as attributessensor.window_title,sensor.pid,sensor.foreground_monitor,sensor.process_started(TIMESTAMP device class)binary_sensor.fullscreen,binary_sensor.minimized- Fed by a new
ForegroundCoordinatorpollingGET /api/foregroundevery 5s, with near-real-time updates via the existing WebSocket (foreground/foreground_updatepush frames flow into the coordinator) (9d27727)
- Optional API token —
CONF_TOKENis now optional. When the media server runs withoutapi_tokensconfigured (auth disabled), the integration omits theAuthorizationheader and?token=query from REST, WebSocket, and album-art URLs. Server-side auth rejections still surface asinvalid_authin the UI (ab05852)
Performance
- Shared
DisplayCoordinator— a single/api/display/monitorspoll per cycle is now fanned out to all per-display entities (binary sensors, numbers, selects, sensors, switches) viaCoordinatorEntity. Removes ~9x redundant requests per polling cycle that previously came from each entity callingget_display_monitors()in its ownasync_update(ab05852) - Optimistic write-through —
coordinator.apply_optimistic(...)keeps sibling entities in sync after slider/select writes without an extra network round-trip (ab05852)
UI / Localization
- Display entities migrated to Home Assistant translation keys (
strings.json/translations/*), so per-language UI text flows through the standard locale mechanism instead of hardcoded English strings (9d27727)

Migration / Behavior Changes
- Each physical monitor is now its own Home Assistant device, linked to the media-server hub via
via_device. Existing brightness and power entities migrate to per-display devices automatically on first reload —unique_ids are preserved, but entities will move under new devices in the UI and can be placed in their own area/room (4156ded) - The hub keeps the
media_playerand script buttons; per-display devices hold the power switch, brightness slider, and the new DDC/CI capability entities (4156ded)
Features
- New diagnostic sensors:
DisplayResolutionSensorexposes the active resolution parsed from EDID (4156ded) - New diagnostic binary sensors:
DisplayPrimaryBinarySensorandDisplayPowerControlBinarySensormake it visible why a power switch is or isn't created for a given display (4156ded) - New select entities:
DisplayInputSourceSelect— switch active input (HDMI1, DP1, etc.) via DDC/CIDisplayColorPresetSelect— color temperature presetsDisplayPictureModeSelect— VCP 0xDC scene modes (4156ded)
- New number entity:
DisplayContrastNumberexposed alongside the existing brightness slider (4156ded) - Per-display devices now show real manufacturer/model pulled from EDID; device names no longer prepend the hub title (the hierarchy is already shown via
via_device) (4156ded) - Select and number entities verify the server's
successflag and re-sync from the actual monitor state when a write is silently rejected — some monitors honor DDC/CI reads but ignore writes for certain codes (4156ded)
Performance
api_clientno longer forces?refresh=trueon every poll, letting the integration ride the media server's TTL cache instead of triggering a full DDC/CI probe per entity update (4156ded)
