Ok, so I’ve made some changes, and It would be great if you could try this version.
Don’t forget to change your card reference in ui-lovelace.yaml and add something like ?ver=0.8-beta at the end. Alternatively clear the browser cache
Ok, so I’ve made some changes, and It would be great if you could try this version.
I run it with both default and custom theme but never seen the icons disappear.
I love this component!
Made some changes so that when a media player is paused, the media info text is grayed out (“disabled”) and the volume slider/buttons are removed. Found it easier to get an overview.
Feel free to use it, merge it, change it. Here is the committed changed:
(first time I change any home assistant component. Bear with a simple copy-paster)

That’s awesome! nice tweaks.
I actually did something similar with the artwork_border option, changes color if the player is playing
Thanks.
Here is what I did: I created a new file with your beta code and saved it as mini-media-player?ver=0.8-beta.js in www. Then I changed the resource in the ui-lovelace to the same name.
The answer I get is "Custom element doesn’t exist: mini-media-player.
If it works with the others on their default theme, then I guess it must be something on my end.
This is the code that I am using in ui-lovelace:
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.bad
icon: 'mdi:cast'
hide_power: true
show_source: true
title: Sonos Badezimmer
more_info: false
Anything that may seem wrong here?
Your yaml code for the card looks good.
Try replacing your current mini-media-player.js with this version. and then change your reference as below (make sure the path matches the location of your mini-media-player.js):
resources:
- url: /local/mini-media-player.js?ver=0.8-beta
type: module
That should clear out the cache and let you try the fixes.
using those fixes above, still does not work.
I get the same error.
resources:
- url: /local/mini-media-player.js?ver=0.8-beta
type: module
Yep, same error here.
I’m sorry but I don’t know what to say more than to double check your files and paths. The only changes done to the card are style changes and can’t cause this error.
/local/mini-media-player.js equals /config/www/mini-media-player.js etc
Maybe try skipping the ?ver=* at the end, that is just to make sure you’re not loading the old version from cache.

The funny thing is that is seems to have nothing to do with the background color. With the midnight theme, it still looks like this:
Ok, I think, I found a solution.
Setting
artwork: color
does not show the cover as a background but it brings up the controls!
I have this code in my ui-lovelace.yaml:
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.bad
icon: 'mdi:cast'
artwork: color
show_source: true
more_info: false
hide_power: true
name: Badezimmer
This results in this view:
This is good. However, it would be nice to have the icon back with the cover thumbnail.

Ok, that’s great, I’m still not sure what’s causing this issue though.
Thanks for all the information, hopefully I’ll figure this out sooner than later.

2nd option for me too. Thanks
Thank you for the hide_power. Looks better now.

hi @kalkih, I have artwork_border set to true, but I’m not seeing the border or I’m not understanding how to use it properly. Also, adding a title still leaves the old title on the card - is that by design?
Thanks
Clear your browser cache perhaps?
Thanks, Works a charm.
Any way we could have an artwork for a group?
Trying to have a pic of a google mini for my GHM devices…
Hey,
artwork_border doesn’t work with artwork: cover, that’s on purpose, I should clarify that in the instructions though.
As for the title, in your example it looks like you wrap mini-media-players inside an entities card with a title set. If you don’t want that outer title, remove it from your entities card.
The mini-media-player can’t alter things outside it’s own card, so this is by design.
