media_player.vizio: Soundbar does not connect

[sheilnaik]

Home Assistant release with the issue:
0.72.1

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):
Component has never worked

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):
Hassbian on Raspberry Pi 3B+

Component/platform:
https://www.home-assistant.io/components/media_player.vizio/

Description of problem:
My Vizio soundbar is not connecting to Home Assistant and spits out a Connection refused error on launch (see log output below). It does work with pyvizio from the command line however. If I run pyvizio ip=192.168.1.26 auth=xxxxxx mute it does mute the soundbar. But it does not connect to Home Assistant at all.

I had to change the config files to connect to port 9000 (as recommended per the Smartcast API). Soundbars do work with pyvizio (see this issue on pyvizio's GitHub page) with a slightly different setup process.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

media_player:
  - platform: vizio
    host: 192.168.1.26
    access_token: MyAccessToken

Traceback (if applicable):

The default port in the current version of pyvizio is 7345 (see line 113 of /pyvizio/protocol.py). Since this is hardcoded into pyvizio, and home assistant is simply providing the variables to it, the issue would need to be resolved within pyvizio. As a side note, the previous default port was 9000, but this was updated due to a change in the official smartcast api. I'm curious if your soundbar firmware simply hasn't been updated by Vizio to reflect the updated port.

I thing is that I changed the port (hardcoded into protocol.py). You can confirm this because the logs show I’m trying to connect via port 9000 and it’s not working. It works fine from the command line but doesn’t connect with Home Assistant. I did check to see if my soundbar has updated firmware and, unfortunately, it does not.

Interesting. From the information you posted, it looks like the soundbar doesn't require any sort of access token. I'm wondering if that's what's throwing things off, as home assistant doesn't know not to send the token.
