I managed to break the integration due to an invalid source.

Background:
Haven't used my Casa tunes in a couple of years mainly because it didn't work with home assistant (this repo didn't exist when i originally self purchase and self installed casatunes)

So it has bee offline and since i last used it i discontinued the use of spotify in general.
However the spotify source was still configured and still listed albums etc.
Once I tried to play something the integration started giving api errors in hass, i couldn't play local media.

Good news is restarting the integration worked and I can remove the bad spotify sources.

So really just a crappy way of me saying - thanks for the integration, i appreciate it, i asked casa a few times if they would do one over the years :-) - and an FYI on some error handling might be needed if you are so inclined - unfortunately i have two left hands when it comes to coding so won't be of any help

Oh is art supposed to show in the normal media card or do i need to install a different media card to see art?

oh it seems the issues are bigger than the broken spotify, getting errors on next track, despite next track working ok
source here is tunes load across the network from a NAS via the my music configured with a UNC.

My hope is that I will be able to persuade CT guys to add an API endpoint to play a stream by URL without adding it as a station etc. This would allow casting to any player essentially.
