Home Assistant setup

[Cogs]

Hi, I've been trying very hard to get this working and am getting closer, just need a push I guess.
I am a novice and have never done anything with mqtt.
I have the Homeassistant plugin installed in FPP.
I have the FPP and Mosqito integrations installed in HA
Through HA file editor I added:
media_player:
  - platform: falcon_pi_player
    name: FPP
    host: http://192.168.0.170/

HA log:
2024-10-17 17:45:06.933 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.entity] Update for media_player.fpp fails
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity.py", line 942, in async_update_ha_state

result = sock.connect_ex((self._host, int(self._port)))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name does not resolve

I'm not sure what this will look like when it's up and running or how to use it,,, yet.
I appreciate any and all assistance
