Ok thanks, now it’s clearer… the third card is nested inside an entities card, that’s why i get that background!
That’s a good fit for the shortcuts, have the shortcuts call a script with the entity_id and possibly skip_interval as parameters and handle the service call from the script, that way you can reuse the same script in multiple cards or places.
Let me know if you need help with a concrete example.
Yes, a general skip script would be ideal. The problem is I don’t know how to get the progress and duration from the media_player entity. I believe media player only accepts seek_position
which is an absolute position in the track, not an interval.
The magic of your card exposes the progress and duration of the track so that a 30 second skip can be calculated and seek_position
can be used to skip.
Maybe we could get the HA people to code a seek_interval
service call.
Am I missing an easy way to do this in a script?
Yes, I need help, thanks!
Okay, this is what I got, what do you think?
The script
skip:
alias: skip
sequence:
- service: media_player.media_seek
data_template:
entity_id: "{{ entity }}"
seek_position: "{{ state_attr(entity, 'media_position') | float + interval }}"
The card
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.example
shortcuts:
buttons:
- type: script
id: skip
icon: mdi:rewind-10
data:
entity: media_player.example # Same as card entity
interval: -10 # Skip in seconds (change by preference)
- type: script
id: skip
icon: mdi:fast-forward-10
data:
entity: media_player.example # Same as card entity
interval: 10 # Skip in seconds (change by preference)
This will only work for media players reporting the media_position
.
And it will throw an error if media_position
+ interval
< 0
but it’s a good start.
Amazing! Thanks!
I can’t believe that I didn’t know that media_position
was in the state attributes.
I think I’ll have to use the media_position_updated_at
attribute as well because the media_position
doesn’t seem to be the current position but the position last time the attributes were updated. Not sure why it doesn’t stay up to date.
That’s a smart idea, that’s actually how we calculate and track the progress in the mini-media-player card, some platforms seem to keep it pretty up to date and some less so, for performance reasons I guess.
Playing with time was fun.
This is what I got for maths:
seek_position: " {{ ( as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(state_attr(entity, 'media_position_updated_at')) + state_attr(entity, 'media_position') ) | float + interval }} "
Haha, that’s a long line
Ok, I need some help. I have really tried to get rounded corners on my artwork in mini media player. But I cant!
Here is the code:
- card:
artwork: full-cover
entity: media_player.spotify
hide:
controls: false
icon: true
info: false
mute: true
name: true
power: true
power_state: true
shuffle: false
source: true
volume: true
info: scroll
style: |
ha-card {
background: none;
box-shadow: none;
border-radius: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 60%;
margin: 0%;
padding-top: 0px;
left: 8%;
top: 30px;
}
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
And this is what I get:
It seems like none of background, box-shadow, border-radius, overflow is affected when changed. Only width, left etc makes a difference.
As you can see my artwork dont have border radius 20px, its only 10px as set in my theme!
Any help is appreciated!!
Latest version of mini media player.
- resources: null
- type: module
url: /local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.4.1
Seems like a bug, when the card is in collapsed config (e.g. volume and/or controls are hidden).
The only thing you should need to set is ha-card-border-radius
in your theme.
I’ll fix it tomorrow.
Should now be fixed in the latest release.
I have a very simple configuration that adds a button to play a local radio station that uses m3u8:
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.suite_speaker
artwork: cover
info: short
shortcuts:
buttons:
- name: Eldorado
icon: mdi:radio
type: music
id: http://estadaohls-lh.akamaihd.net/i/estadaohls_1@301351/master.m3u8
How can I add a second button with a TuneIn radio station ?
Thanks
Still same issue…
Actually it seems to be a google chrome problem. It works on my ipad with safari, and on my android with edge and firefox but NOT on my computer or android tablet running google chrome? :o
Just installed the latest release and added the play_stop option, but when running the card and pressing the stop button i get the following:
Fallita chiamata a servizio media_player/media_stop
Is it my fault in something or what?
I’m not sure about tuneIn, but to add another button, just do like this.
Media content is platform dependant so the id, type and even supported sources may vary between components.
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.suite_speaker
artwork: cover
info: short
shortcuts:
buttons:
- name: Eldorado
icon: mdi:radio
type: music
id: http://estadaohls-lh.akamaihd.net/i/estadaohls_1@301351/master.m3u8
- name: Second station
icon: mdi:radio
type: music
id: http://example.com/radio.m3u8
Clear cache maybe? Works as expected for me on Chrome after the latest update (which had the same issue as you had before).
Is it possible that your media player doesn’t support the stop service, what component is it?
Yes, I can add more buttons but can`t get them to play from TUNEIN.
Does anybody have a sample config of Mini Media Player playing from TUNEIN to a Google Home?
Check this, it’s from 2017 but might still be relevant:
media_content_id
would be the id
and media_content_type
would be the type
in the shortcut.
