Lovelace: Mini Media Player

[Rotweiss4]

I done it with this introduction:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/yamaha/

media_player:
  - platform: yamaha
    host: 192.168.0.10
  - platform: yamaha_musiccast
    host: 192.168.0.10
    port: 5005

It is no Problem to write the platform yamaha together with the platform musiccast_yamaha.

i hope i can help you with this

Hello, I become a bit crazy with CSS managment in HA so I ask for your help.
I’ve a transparent background ha-card style that I don’t want.

because with this instruction my medial player are like that :

when I expect this (that I obtain if the background is uncheck in the chrome inspector

Where is this transparent insctruction ?! How can I manage that with my template ?

Thanks in advance

Would it be possible to have a Material background without the artwork?
This would be handy when using different buttons for different media players where they all have matching color and only the main playing unit has the full Material Artwork.

The example below would have the matching dark colors in the two smaller buttons

For now I got stuck in displaying the folder button to show up where one can click on to bring the library browser up. Can someone point me to the things I’m missing?

Same problem for me, did you solve this?

Hi
Would you mind sharing your config? This looks very nice

[Andrea_Guidi]

Sorry, where you take the entity_picture?
thanks in advance

Unfortunately not. I had no time to investigate this further.

I’m in the middle of building a dedicated tab for my audio media (radio streams, pandora stations, and spotify) through my Sonos system. My question is there a way to force a Cover Image (as a placeholder) when the stream doesn’t contain any metadata for Album artwork?

[OlliVa]

Has anyone actually managed to play tunein content on a Sonos with any trick?

(Sonos does not support a media type of “TUNEIN”)

I have all other speakers with tunein sources and wanted to include my Sonos speaker in the same card.

[mboarman (Mark Boarman)]

Add the station as a Favorite in the Sonos app and it should populate as a source. See this thread:

SONOS: The easiest way of setting playlist or radio streams

Hi all, while researching I’ve seen a lot of threads discussing how to set e.g. Spotify playlists or radio streams in Sonos using HA. Most of them where quiet “complicated” using the media_content_id attribute from the play_media function while looking up the URL from the local Sonos API. As far as I know this does not even work with Spotify playlist, since they don’t offer a native URL. Once I noticed in the dev-state, that every Sonos component had a Source List (marked blue): [image] and …

[parautenbach (Pieter Rautenbach)]

I would like the same thing but from what I’ve gathered you can’t. I haven’t tried it myself (yet) but it might be possible with something like card mod.

[OlliVa]

Yes, that is known, but I actually wanted tunein directly as a source, but that does not seem to work in no way. I was hoping that you can somehow fool sonos mp3 and he takes the tunein stream then.

[mboarman (Mark Boarman)]

If you can extract the URL to the stream it’s pretty easy, I have it setup that way to play a number of streams, the problem is it can be challenging to get the actual stream link out of TuneIn. An example of a direct stream link I have embedded in a script is:

action:
  - data:
      volume_level: 0.12
    entity_id: media_player.sonos_dining_room
    service: media_player.volume_set
  - delay: '00:00:02'
  - data:
      media_content_id: 'aac://ice66.securenetsystems.net/WPHD'
      media_content_type: music
    entity_id: media_player.sonos_dining_room
    service: media_player.play_media

[mboarman (Mark Boarman)]

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look at Card-Mod. I have to imagine that there is someway to build a placeholder image in the background and have MMP overlay the metadata on top of it. Right?? I can’t be the only one who is attempting to do this. LOL.

[parautenbach (Pieter Rautenbach)]

You’re welcome.

When I get to it I will try to use a template to check if the media player is playing and only set the default background on the right element if that’s not the case (i.e. not playing).

[GH2user]

I couldn’t find a way.
Wanted to have images and such when the AVR is using the sat/xbox and such.
In the end generated my own image display using a ‘generic camera’ as source so I can change the url to the image. That way I copy the streaming image value to the camera or set one of myself.
Would be nice if MMP would allow for a way to set images on fixed inputs (eg hdmi1).

[mboarman (Mark Boarman)]

Interesting approach, I’m still learning my way around HA and Lovelace. What entity did you use to send the miniplayer artwork to the generic camera? Mind sharing a snippet of the code?

[scstraus]

Hi all,

Did you or anyone else ever succeed in getting card-mod to style any part of the mini media player card? I’ve been utterly unsuccessful… I’m just trying to get the text of my buttons to fit on the buttons.

I’ve tried a million things, here are a few:

        style: |
          .slot-container {
            margin: 0px !important;
          }

        style: |
          mmp-button {
            font-size: 6px !important;
          }

        style: |
          .mmp-shortcuts__button {
            display:  !important;
            width:  !important;
          }

Any sample of anyone who’s done any styling on this card wil be appreciated, especially on the buttons!
