Hi,

Flow this thread (if not done so already), Paul has made a clever script to limit metadata and fix features like the ‘event’ media. play.

> I’ve tried using a webhook to call a webcore piston (samsung smartthings automation) This works for any request which does not include the jpeg (media added, media play started) but due to suspected issues with webcore, the requests with jpegs fails. Could an option be added for each webhook to not send the jpeg? The use of webhooks with webcore opens up many automation opportunities e.g setting lights to movie mode when a movie starts etc

It should solve your problem using a Raspberry Pi and pointing Home Assistant to that. GL!
