Help with looping through devices and running an action

Configuration
1

I’m trying to stop all of my media players. I can loop through them but I don’t know how to run an action inside the template. I’m guessing I probably can’t but I thought I would ask.

Here is what I have:

{% for i in states.media_player %}
  {{ i.name | lower }} is {{ i.state }}  
{% endfor %}

Now I want to run media_stop on all the media players but I don’t see how to do this.

You can call the media_player.media_stop without specifying an entity_id and it’ll stop all of them.

Ok… Tried this…

  test_script:
    sequence:
      - service: media_player.media_pause

That didn’t work.

I did get some errors…

I also tried but it didn’t stop and appears to be the same errors.

  test_script:
    sequence:
      #- service: media_player.media_pause
      - service: media_player.media_play_pause
