It contained a typo in the indentation of the last two lines.
Fixed.
my pardon for this silly post, but thanks for fixing. Should have seen that myselfā¦sorry
gives me opportunity to ask about the templates: can we check state: versus a template?
domain: sensor
state: > {{states'(input_number.frontend_value_set')}}
of not, would you consider a FR for templates?
Need to bump this, because of HA 107.5ā¦ really sorry
this has been working ever since it was posted here:
- type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
type: entities
title: Now Playing
show_header_toggle : false
filter:
include:
- domain: media_player
state: /playing|paused|'on'/
options:
type: custom:hui-media-control-card
artwork_border: true
artwork: cover
hide:
icon: true
but now we get the red card on the custom:hui-media-control-card .
Is this something you are able to fix any time soon / at all @thomasloven ? You see I did try the Lovelace-card-preloader, as it appeared to be the only auto-entities card config that doesnāt work in my config, but though I saw a card appear once, like this:
it became red again immediately after that. Really hope you can have a look at this, because this improvement in HA, isnāt really appreciative of the given card configā¦
thanks for having a look if you would.
I used a custom version of this car 
for a long time but after updating HA to 0.107.5 couldnāt get it to work (tried several methods) and just switched to another custom card.
Maybe itās time for you to do the same? What do you you use it for?
think I dont understand what is unclear in my post, and not really sure what youāre askingā¦
I am using the given setup to automatically list the media_players in my Ha instanceā¦
which would that be?
I didnāt read your config and wanted to hear a human-friendly idea.
depends on use case. how about auto-entities?
think you still didnāt read my configā¦
as you wish
?? very helpful indeedā¦
the first line of my posted config above: - type: custom:auto-entities
Iām really sorry as I didnāt spot that.
On the other hand, I did not expect to see discussion of problems with auto-entity here and assumed itās monster-cardā¦ 8()
So basically your auto-entities does not render custom:hue-media-control-card, right?
Can you create an entity card with all of them so it works?
Yes, that is a good idea, Ill post it as an issue in the auto-entities card GitHub. thanks for the hint on that.
btw, this can be taken out, no longer required/supported in the new media-control card apparently (missed that change in the changes list)
artwork_border: true
artwork: cover
hide:
icon: true
doesnāt solve the issue thoughā¦
still, can you create an entity card with all of them so it works?
yes, or even an entity-filter card with state-filter
state_filter:
- 'on'
- playing
- paused
not sure if this is also possible without the preloader-card, because I now have that installed and th media-control is preloadedā¦
update
no, its not possible (without preloader-card):
So itās an issue with displaying hue-media-control-card in general?
No.
Itās an issue as of HA 107, with this core card used on an entities row.
I think they changed something so itās impossible now to use core cards as entity rows (but I might be wrong).
Anyway, nothing to do with monster/auto-entities and little we or thomas can do about itā¦
BTW, instead of auto-entities I currently use Entities and hide unnecessary entities using card-mod - thatās why I asked if you can create a card with your media players.
sure, that was the reason for my post in the first place.
My issue was with the flaky solution using the card-preloaded, which mitigates that specific āfeatureā in 107ā¦
Since it is the only card in my setup causing issues, I thought it might be specific to that card, and asked Thomas if this is the case, and if he can see a way to solve that issue.
wondering how you do with card-mod (templates?) what auto-entities can do automated for you.
Sorry, I didnāt get this bit
Hey guys - Iām hoping for some help figuring out how to make 2 types of cards that include only a few Plex entities, and one Denon AVR as the only item with volume, but exclude all other entities. The 2 types of cards would be one for - the custom-entites card, and one for the media-control card.
I have this custom-entities card working, but includes a bunch of Plex entities that I donāt want in it (and I donāt know how to exclude specific ones), and I donāt know how to add volume to just the Denon, (or Sonos devices for example)
card:
show_header_toggle: false
type: entities
filter:
exclude:
- state: unavailable
- state: idle
- state: 'off'
include:
- domain: media_player
options:
artwork: cover
group: true
hide:
power_state: false
source: true
volume: true
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
And, Iād like to do this same thing, but with the full media-control cards. Any help is appreciated.
