Help renaming sources_list options

Configuration
1

I have my Nvidia Shield connected using ADB. This gives the option to select source.

adb_response: null
hdmi_input: null
device_class: tv
friendly_name: nVidia Shield
supported_features: 23997
source_list:
  - Live Channels

As you can see, it displays most stuff. But what I want to do is create a template helper to rename the sources to a more visually obvious names. I have created one for another device using this to change a code to an actual readable name:

{% set sc = states('sensor.boiler_servicecodenumber') %}
{% if sc == '200' %} CH active
{% elif sc == '201' %} HW active
{% elif sc == '202' %} CH anti cycle
{% elif sc == '203' %} Standby
{% elif sc == '204' %} CH cooling
{% elif sc == '208' %} Service test
{% elif sc == '265' %} Low CH load
{% elif sc == '268' %} Component test
{% elif sc == '270' %} Power up
{% elif sc == '283' %} Burner start
{% elif sc == '284' %} Ignition
{% elif sc == '305' %} HW anti cycle
{% elif sc == '357' %} Air purge
{% elif sc == '358' %} Valve kick
{% else %} {{ sc }}
{% endif %}

Unfortunately I cant seem to find an actual entity to create a template for to change the Nvidia Shield source names. And if possible, even remove sources. Can anyone help?

Look up universal media player in HA docs and think of it like a template media player where you take source media players and arrange - or modify thier display as necessary.

In your case create a new mp that’s basically the old but in the source list it’ll let you tsmpla the other players source list… Modified as you prefer.

Well even though I spent ages looking all this up, checking as much as I could, I eventually found by reading (for the 4th time!) that’s it is actually possible to do it in the ADB bridge integration natively! Thanks!
