Hi there,
I’m using this awesome card with a Volumio player. Everything works great except for the standby button. When pressing this I’m getting the following error…
Translated: Cannot call service media… Entity does not support this service.
Is it posible to connect a script behind this button? With this script I can at least turn of the reciever for example…
Volumio does not seem to support toggle. See here
Yes I already found that out. The question is… can we program that standby button differently. I would like for example Volumio to stop playing and my reciever to go into standby…
You could make a universal media player and use that in the UI. Universal Media Player - Home Assistant
Good one, yes that will do the trick I think. Again another whole evening of coding to do but hey… I’ts a hobby right 
I am looking at ways to improve my interface and found this thread. I have sliders that show up depending on whether each Sonos media player is grouped. If grouped, the volume slider is there; if not, it just shows some text. See this thread. I’ve posted some sample YAML below:
For the button, conditional based on join state:
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: binary_sensor.sonos_living_room_joined_kitchen
state: 'on'

card:
- height: 80px
name:
- font-size: 14px
- color: white
view_layout:
grid-area: button1
For the slider, based on the same conditions:
type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: binary_sensor.sonos_living_room_joined_kitchen
state: 'on'
card:
hide:
controls: true
source: true
icon: true
power: true
info: true
progress: true
name: true
mute: true
group: true
type: custom:mini-media-player
hide-if-unavailable: true
artwork: none
entity: media_player.sonos_living_room
view_layout:
grid-area: volume1
When pressed, the buttons run a script that either joins or unjoins based on current join state. That changes the state of the condition and the color of the button/visibility of the slider.
EDIT: I’m coming back to this because I changed the way this worked a long time ago, and I no longer use a script. The purpose of the script was to evaluate the grouped state of the speaker before executing a join or unjoin. But since I’m using a conditional to display the button card… I already know whether it’s joined or unjoined, so the script is no longer necessary. The YAML above is correct.
Is there a way to get the url of the cover to apply it to the entire card?
And I will share my setup. 5 Linkplay streamers. Two of them can be used as a master device (the others can be used separately, but this is not necessary). If they are idle, then the cards are collapsed.
The bottom row of buttons is a template switchs (run/stop local music service, on/off multi room for all device) and separate multiroom control buttons (run scripts). You can unify, but I’m lazy

Hi all,
is there a way to change the icon and color depending on a state of the device?
I’ve tried power_state: true but it does nothing. On template cards I use the following code but I think it is not integrated inthis card right?
icon: |-
{% set state=states('light.all_lights') %}
{% if state=='on' %}
mdi:lightbulb-group
{% else %}
mdi:lightbulb-group-off-outline
{% endif %}
icon_color: |-
{% set state=states('light.all_lights') %}
{% if state=='on' %}
yellow
{% elif state=='off' %}
gray
{% else %}
{% endif %}
You’ll need to look at the states of your media_player entity to see what you need. Many don’t have on/off, they have states like idle, playing, paused etc.
Yes I know that 
Above code was just an exmaple of a different card where this function is working. My point/question is: does this option work or not in mini media player?
THANKS!! i came here looking for this.
I wanted to make the background none, because using this in a custom button card.
hey 
i want to use one button to “toggle” my “netflix”.
is it possible to work with an if-else query?
- icon: mdi:netflix
type: script
id: |
[[[
if states['media_player.fire_tv_192_168_178_168'] == 'on'
return 'script.stop_netflix';
else
return 'script.start_netflix';
]]]
i think i found a solution…?!
i changed my script…
I think this is a good approach.
alias: start stop netflix
sequence:
- service: media_player.select_source
target:
entity_id: media_player.fire_tv_192_168_178_168
data:
source: |
{% if is_state("media_player.fire_tv_192_168_178_168", "playing") %}
!com.netflix.ninja
{% elif is_state("media_player.fire_tv_192_168_178_168", "idle") %}
com.netflix.ninja
{% elif is_state("media_player.fire_tv_192_168_178_168", "paused") %}
!com.netflix.ninja
{% elif is_state("media_player.fire_tv_192_168_178_168", "standby") %}
com.netflix.ninja
{% elif is_state("media_player.fire_tv_192_168_178_168", "off") %}

Hi all!
Is there a way to have all the sonos players in a group be automatically grouped when using a shortcut button?
A shortcut can execute a script, so use the media_player.join service
Thank you, ok I’ll try that.
That would mean one script per shortcut (in my case different sonos favorites), right?
When I play certain radio links, I do NOT get data through about “media_title”.
I don’t know why this is happening and if I can hardcode this info.
If I play
‘http://live-icy.gslb01.dr.dk/A/A09H.mp3’
‘https://stream.anr.dk/anr’
‘https://webradio.classicfm.dk/classichorsens.aac’
Then it’s working fine, I get the Media_title…
But if I use one of these, it plays - but I don’t get any info about the “Media_title”
'http://edge-bauerdk-05-gos2.sharp-stream.com/thevoice_dk_tunein_mp3?’
‘https://live-bauerdk.sharp-stream.com/thevoice_dk_mp3’
I don’t get it, why there is no “media_title”
I have this test button, i get the sound, artist, music number - but I don’t get the “media_title” so I can see that info inside my media_player.bluesound_stue attrributes:
show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.bluesound_stue
data:
media_content_id: https://live-bauerdk.sharp-stream.com/thevoice_dk_mp3

Thanks for this really awesome. Is there any way to swap the volume and seek/progress bars?
Also would be awesome if there was a way to integrate the spotcast selector so the source input could include chromecast devices.
