Hey that is a neat idea. Please open a feature request and I will take a look.
As for an ETA I am not sure, as I am currently pretty busy. If you want to try yourself PRs are welcomed. There is no python, only typescript.
High overview of what would needs to be done, in order:
1.) Figure correct API requests to plex to get all artists (figure also sorting etc to support it properly), all albums from artist and all songs from artist
2.) Add the options into libraries in UI configuration, along with support for proper sorting options if possible
3.) Modify the display code of tvshow/session/episodes to properly display artists/albums/songs
You can now use horizontal scroll instead of having multiple rows. Option is available under View Configuration → Use horizontal scroll.
Realtime play availability
Card now keeps track of available targets automatically. You no longer need to reload Home Assistant once you change the state of your target devices.
Enhancements for touch devices
Play button has now a dedicated button. Play button which was displayed on hover over poster no longer shows up on devices controlled by touch. Play button is still visible on episodes.
Customize everything
You can now change all the font sizes, poster and artwork sizes under new Style Configuration section.
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. much appreciated.
No justifiable reason for still using yaml other than old habit. I need to give UI a try Im just apprehensive of having bits here and there and eventually forgetting where is what
Hello! About the music part, I am able to browse the library (artists / albuns / songs), but unable to play album or artist, only individual songs. The “play” button shows on artists and albunms, but does nothing. Is that how it works or am I missing something? (Testing with - cast | media_player.google_home_mini )
And since I am posting, and on a “begging” roll, any chance of a “random” switch for a music artist /album / playlist?
Thanks again for your card.
You can now use input_select and input_text entities in the card. Value of these cards will be automatically processed and checked for availability.
Some use cases:
You can now have input_select with all your media players. Simply select the media player you wish to use and it will be automatically picked up in the card.
You can now have automations with room presence. If you are in living room, put living room media player into input_text / input_select. Bedroom? Use bedroom automatically. Combined with Restricted views per user accounts, you can have this seamlessly working on unlimited number of devices.
You can still use all of these in multiples just like before. First available entity will always be chosen.
Oh and also, Play button needs to be orange (if you are referring to the button when artist is opened). If it is gray your entity is not available for casting.
I is orange, on the artist, on the album and on the track, but only on the track it does play. Artist and album simply do nothing… Missing something probably…
https://github.com/JurajNyiri/PlexMeetsHomeAssistant/issues/50 was implemented. It is now possible to choose display type. This allows you to display for example albums from chosen library instead of artists. Similarly, this allows you to show Seasons from TV Shows.
Sort fields for visual editor are now automatically populated from Plex. They are now available everywhere where plex allows to sort.
It is now possible to use folder display view for music libraries

Fixes
Edge case where incorrect width was calculated in sidebar panel
I am trying to set up plex meets home assistant.
However, I always get the message there is a network issue.
Please find below my configuration.
Am I doing something wrong?
The IP address and port is identical to the ones of the Plex Integration in HA.
The Plex token is the same as the one used for the recently added media.
mediaplayer is available .any hint ?
