Custom Mini Media Player Help

Configuration Frontend
1

Good afternoon,

I am going crazy trying to figure this out… :frowning: I just want to have a couple buttons on one card which plays either a radio station or a Spotify playlist to my echo plus. The radio work great but I cannot for the life of me get the playlist to work ideally I would love it to shuffle when pressed… I can get it to work if I change the type to custom but it plays a complete random playlist and not the one in the ID. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  columns: 3
  buttons:
    - type: custom
      name: Wild Country Radio
      id: play wild 95.3 on tunein
      icon: mdi:radio
    - type: custom

I don’t have Spotify but the documentation says that you need your user id:


    buttons:
      # Start predefined playlist
      - icon: mdi:cat
        type: playlist
        id: spotify:user:XXXXXXX:playlist:37i9dQZF1DZ06evO2O09Hg 
        # Where XXXXXXX is your User ID
