What integration is that media player? What are its attributes when playing?
Yes but which integration does it use? One of these Integrations - Home Assistant (or maybe a custom integration)
To get it’s attributes go to your dev tools and click on states, or in fact click here 
Use the filter to get your media_player.soundstation_livingroom and the attributes will be in the right hand panel like this
Hi,
so the integration is linkplay based media devices (see my last post). I had to put 
media_player:
- platform: linkplay
host: 192.168.x.x
name: Soundstation Livingroom
icecast_metadata: 'StationNameSongTitle'
multiroom_wifidirect: False
sources:
{
'optical': 'TV sound',
'bluetooth': 'Bluetooth',
'udisk': 'USB stick',
'http://94.199.183.186:8000/jazzy-soul.mp3': 'Jazzy Soul',
}
in my configuration.yaml.
here are the attributes (idle):
and here with Internet radio playing :
thank you for your help
That integration doesn’t seem to provide an entity_picture attribute.
Do you see an image in the standard media control card? Media Control Card - Home Assistant
nope … i have the player also as HA-DLNA player but there is also no image aswell no entity_picture entry
i found something related to the picture entity and the linkplay integration : Pass by url the entity_picture attribute of a media player
i can´t figure it out how that could help … i guess thats when you want the urlk of the actual playing song.
also there is this picture showing linkplay and mini-media-player :
and i got a picture when playing music from spotify (hint from the linkplay thread)
got you the attribute whjen playing spotify:

Hello,
I’ve had a problem for a long time when I click for a playlist, the playlist launches and beeps on the google home player, then the Mini Media Player pauses.
Any solution?
Sorry I missed your last post, I don’t get any picture on ibiza global radio when I play it on lms.
me neither … i believe i do not understand the mechanics
Just for the understanding …
only spotify and LastFM have pictures?
Does anyone has pictures when playing a mp3 from local or a mounted folder?
Is there a support for ID3 Tags?
and which instance is “responsible” for the picture entity? file/radio or the player or mini-media.player?
thx
I think in the case of a radio stream, you won’t get a picture unless there is one embedded in the stream. But some integrations may have a static pic for a radio station, eg the logo.
In an mp3 file, again it depends I think on whether the device itself decodes an embedded pic, and then passes it on to home assistant.

Can you give an example?
There’s an example in the universal media player docs.
I know, but something isn’t working for me
What is wrong with this configuration?
media_player:
platform: universal
name: Test Universal
children:
- media_player.volumio
commands:
turn_on:
service: media_player.turn_on
target:
entity_id: switch.0xa4c138db8ae96f3f
turn_off:
service: media_player.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.0xa4c138db8ae96f3f
attributes:
state: switch.0xa4c138db8ae96f3f
Should be this I think
turn_on:
service: switch.turn_on
target:
entity_id: switch.0xa4c138db8ae96f3f
Same for turn off.

Unfortunately, I keep getting the message
The media_player/turn_off service failed to invoke. Entity media_player.volumio does not support this service.
Where do you see this?
You are still using the volumio media player. You need to use the one created by the universal media player.
It’s getting better But only the first switch after restarting the settings works
Don’t know if this question is asked before in this topic so sorry if it is.
Is it possible to create 2 dropdown lists in the mini media player? So 1 list for spotify playlists and 1 list for radio stations.
Thanks!
