Cant hide media player about custom-sidebar

[elchininet]

There is something wrong there, you have the yaml config file but it seems that it is trying to load the JSON one. It also doesn‘t display the version after CUSTOM-SIDEBAR (YAML). Let me install the YAML version and check what is happening there. I‘ll back to you soon.

Actually, I already found the fix for that: I just forgot to translate the names into german 🤦

Perfect then, issue solved :)

Regards!

Hi @Jinx735,
Let‘s start from the beginning.
I am seeing that you are using a YAML config so I ssume that you have followed the YAML path.

Some things to check before entering in the config options:

1. Could you confirm that you see the console.info in your console stating CUSTOM-SIDEBAR (YAML)?
2. Do you see any errors in your console?
3. How did you install custom-sidebar?

Hi @Jinx735,
Did you solve your issue?
If not, please, answer the previous questions so I can help you better.
Regards

Hi @elchininet,
Thanks for your sugesstions. Unfortunately , due to karneval in my country, I couldn't find the time to try your sugesstions yet. But now I have, I'll try them out right now and post the results shortly.

[Jinx735]

Here are the results I got:

1. Since I run my Homeassistant-Server headless and have no posibillity to connect a screen (dont have the right adapters), I can only provide info via a terminal addon, not the actual console.
2. Same as 1.
3. I installed it via HACS

Hi @Jinx735,
Are you not able to open your Home Assistant instance in a browser?
It doesn‘t matter the way you installed Home Assistant you should be able to open the local IP or the remote URL in a browser, login and check the above. It is impossible to debug further if you don‘t know if the plugin is running correctly or if there is an error that impedes the plugin even to analyse your configuration.

[Jinx735]

Yeah, I can open it in a browser. Could you maybe describe where/how to check it specifily? I dont know how to acess the console through the browser, I thought you can only check it when plugged in directly in the server?

Hey @Jinx735,

I mean the developer console. If you use Chrome, just right click on your screen and select "Inspect" (it should be located at the end) and then go to "Console". You should be able to see this and also see if any error has been triggered by the plugin:

[Jinx735]

Oh, sorry i confused it with ha console.
Yeah i do have an error there.

[Jinx735]

Alright, sound good, Thank you :)

[elchininet]

Yes, the YAML bundle is trying to load the JSON config, something got broken there. I‘ll let you know when it is fixed.

[Jinx735]

Alright, Thank You

@Jinx735,
A pull request is on its way. Once it passes the tests, I‘ll merge it and release a patch version. Now I am seeing that the version is there it is just that you use dark mode and it is barely visible (something to fix too).
When it is released, please, install the fix and let me know if the error dissapears from the console, so we can check if the original issue is solved.

[elchininet]

Hi @Jinx735,
Version 4.0.1 is released, please, update it and let me know if the error is gone and it is able to load the YAML config correctly (clear your cache).

[Jinx735]

@elchininet
Yes, the error seems to be gone 👍

[elchininet]

Yes, the error seems to be gone 👍

Perfect, let‘s back to your original issue. Check that you can hide the elements.

[Jinx735]

Actually, I already found the fix for that: I just forgot to translate the names into german 🤦
So instead of

order:
  - item: media browser
    hide: true

I just need to use

order:
  - item: Medien
    hide: true
