So does this mean I should remove your repo as a custom repo in the HACS settings now? (and for mini-graph-card a s well?)
Not yet, the PR hasn’t been merged yet, and after it’s merged we also have to wait for the next HACS release before it will show up in the store.
And yeah, the same goes for mini-graph-card
No need to remove anything, they will get “migrated” from custom to standard automagically after the update
Did that automagically happen to Custom-Compact-Header by any chance? I swear it did lol… Might be worth documenting that?
That is off topic here, but yes it did.
Like anything else the documentation is opensource
Sweet, looks awesome!
Hey kalkih, i love your card and i hope that i read the notes correctly.
Is it now possible to call a service via shortcut?
I’m trying to play a radio station via tunein on my echo but i cant get it to work with the card.
cards:
- cards: null
entity: media_player.echo_bad
hide:
power_state: false
source: true
more_info: false
shortcuts:
hide_when_off: true
list:
- data:
entity_id: media_player.echo_bad
media_content_type: radio SAW
id: media_player.play_media

- data:

media_content_type: S._W._R. 3
id: media_player.play_media

type: source
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
type: vertical-stack
Sorry for the bad formation. Its from the UI editor.
ok, nevermind i found the problem. it calls the service now correctly:

media_content_id: S._W._R. 3
media_content_type: TUNEIN

type: service
- data:
entity_id: media_player.echo_bad
media_content_id: R._P._R. 1
media_content_type: TUNEIN

type: service
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
- cards: null
type: entities
entities:
- entity: input_select.echo_bad_radio
type: vertical-stack
But I found a new problem wihch seems to be Home Assistant related?
It isnt possible to set quotes around the values of media_content_id and media_content_type they get removed. It should be "S._W._R. 3"
This way Alexa cant understand the radio stations correctly.
Hey @0rn0lf,
The default shortcut “action” is play_media
so you could actually write those shortcuts like this to save some time & lines.
- name: Radio
type: TUNEIN
id: radio SAW
Yeah, that’s a yaml thing, how it parse strings, but you could try escaping the quotes.
media_content_id: >
"hello world"
or possibly (less likely)
media_content_id: "\u0022hello world\u0022"
EDIT: even simpler:
media_content_id: '"Hello world"'
thanks. this one seems to work now
media_content_id: '"Hello world"'
Great work @kalkih!
For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to theme the idle player though, what am I missing here (the Apple TV element)?
Thanks!
The card background is based on paper-card-background-color
atm, will prioritize ha-card-background
(if set) in the next version.

Im having issues grouping my monoprice 6 zone audio system with the mini media player. i think my issue is with the platform section. I can see all media players (all 6) in overlay, but get error "Failed to call service media_player/monoprice_JOIN. Unable to find service media_player/monoprice_join

I do not think the Monoprice component supports grouping of speakers.
TTS for Alexa has been depreciated, Will you be able to add notify in it’s place?
@kalkih is it possible to integrate monopice 6 zone amplifier into your player like you did with sonos?
Sure, It’s been changed to use notify since v1.0.4.
I took a quick peek at the component and as @Dansker said, I don’t think it’s possible, sorry.
After update card to version 1.2.1 icons of media players are black. How to change icon color to --state-icon-color
without changing any other colors? mini-media-player-base-color
change icon color but also some text color.
Hey, could you provide me with a screenshot of the issue, what is the expected behaviour and what was the behaviour before the update?
