Media Player Intents

[RoepLuke]

I want to control a media player entity with Assist (play, pause, forward, backward, lower volume, higher volume, etc).

When testing I was unable to control a media_player entity that was exposed to Assist.
I also did not find any sentence files for the media_player domain.

I'd be willing to contribute the sentences in english and german. However I assume there are other prerequisites that need to be fullfilled to achieve this.

There are other requisites for it to function, not necessarily prerequisites.

Feel free to go for it, expect multiple rounds of reviews :D And thanks for wanting to contribute!

Intents need to be added at first.

If we're talking about adding these intents (for example to the media_player component), what intents would you want in particular? You named a few, but ended with etc. What else did you have in mind?

Most of mp control services

So I wanted to get into home-assistant and started some small pr focusing on volume up and volume down intents at the core repository. Other than the intents in core, is there any requisite besides the intents here @tetele ?

I think media player intents should have room specific features similar to the light intents. For example, I should be able to say: "Pause music" or "Play music"
and it will pause/play the music in the same area as the voice satellite if there is a media player configured.

Nope, that's about it @sorgfresser. Here you have to create sentences, responses and tests. We could do that before the core intents and mark the intent as unsupported, but I think a coordinated effort would do better.

With #1967 I think this issue can be closed.

Right now, there is no "play {songname}" intent. Would this be a nice feature to have? I image it might be a bit tedious because the ASR isn't great and thus songnames might be misunderstood.
