Any ways to get Now Playing (or any media_player card image place holder) in static mode?

Good day,

In my home theater, I’ve been looking around for many way to display what is playing right now… so far, I’ve tried the regular media-control card, the mini-media-player card, the now-playing-card card… and while all of those are wonderful, I would need to have the icon (or picture) of what is playing without having the card to resize everytime it changes picture.

For instance, when idle, the media-control card won’t show a picture, but when it detects that something is playing, all cards underneath will get pushed down in order to show the picture of what is playing. I really wish there is a way to reserve that location so it never dynamically move.

The one that is very close to acheive what I need is the now-playing-card card. This card does a very good job by allowing to show an image when the player is idle. The only problem I have is depending of the image, the space allowed to the image will adjust, and all cards underneath will move either up or down, depending if the image place-holder expands or shinks.

At the end of the day, I would like to have a Lovelace interface that won’t ever have scroll bars, and becuse of the dynamic resizing, there are situations where scroll bars will appear.

Any ideas of how what I can do?

Thanks! :slight_smile:
