Try

      - type: glance
        title: Ofte brukt
        show_state: false
        columns: 4
        entities:
          - entity: media_player.sonos_sonos_one
            tap_action:
              action: call-service
              service: media_player.select_source
              service_data: 
                entity_id: media_player.sonos_sonos_one

Do you see your source when you paste this

{{state_attr("media_player.sonos_sonos_one", "source_list") }}

in developer-tools?

5

No, you posted

source_list: "NRK Nyheter"

I’ve posted

source: "NRK Nyheter"
6

{{state_attr("media_player.sonos_sonos_one", "source") }}
and
{{state_attr("media_player.sonos_sonos_one", "source_list") }}

doesnt work
state_attr("media_player/sonos_sonos_one", "source") }} Service not found.
state_attr("media_player/sonos_sonos_one", "source_list") }} Service not found.

you could try to make a script

  set_source:
    sequence:
      - service: media_player.select_source
        data:
          entity_id: media_player.sonos_sonos_one
          source: "NRK Nyheter"

and call that script from your glance card

      - type: glance
        title: Ofte brukt
        show_state: false
        columns: 4
        entities:
          - entity: media_player.sonos_sonos_one
            tap_action:
              action: call-service
              service: script.set_source
