Hikvision Player 0.1.0

Hikvision Player 0.1.0

Initial public release.

What it does

• Adds a Home Assistant media_player platform for Hikvision ISAPI two-way audio/talkback endpoints.
• Plays Home Assistant media through a Hikvision door station, intercom, or camera speaker.
• Resolves Home Assistant media source IDs, /local/... files, and HTTP/HTTPS media URLs.
• Converts input audio to mono 8 kHz G.711 u-law or A-law based on the codec reported by the Hikvision device.
• Opens the ISAPI talkback channel, streams audio in real time, and closes the channel after playback.

Included

• YAML platform setup for one or more Hikvision players.
• hikvision_player.reload service for reloading YAML configuration.
• HACS metadata.
• README with rationale, installation, configuration, service-call examples, automation examples, limitations, and troubleshooting notes.

Notes

• This is not a full camera/intercom/event integration. It is a purpose-built playback target for Hikvision ISAPI talkback audio.
• HTTPS connections to Hikvision devices are not implemented; local-network HTTP ISAPI access is expected.
• Supported device codecs are currently G.711ulaw and G.711alaw.
