Media sources can now be searched
1 min read
Media sources can now implement search. By adding an async_search_media method to your MediaSource, users can search through your media directly from the media browser.
Python
from homeassistant.components.media_player import SearchMedia, SearchMediaQuery
async def async_search_media(
self, item: MediaSourceItem, query: SearchMediaQuery
) -> SearchMedia:
"""Search media."""
results = [...] # list of BrowseMediaSource items
return SearchMedia(result=results)To tell the media browser which items can be searched, set the can_search flag to True on the BrowseMediaSource items you return while browsing (typically directories). Other integrations can trigger a search through the new media_source.async_search_media helper.
For more info, see the updated documentation.
