hi, i cant use sources for my chromecast devices with mini-player. It show me only connected devices, not all. Any idea ?
i use
source: full
In spotcast i can use any of my device. Thanks for support
Just a simple question. May someone can help me? I wrote some scripts to trigger radio stations and spotify playlists on my alexa devices. The problem is, it works perfect for a single device (in the code it is media_player.echo_show_wohnzimmer) but if I change the target into a group of players (media_player.echo_show_wohnzimmer and media_player.echo_kuche are together media_player.erdgeschoss) nothing happens. What do I wrong?
alexaradioeins:
alias: radioeins
sequence:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
entity_id: media_player.echo_show_wohnzimmer
volume_level: 0.4
- delay: 00:00:02
- data:
entity_id: media_player.echo_show_wohnzimmer
media_content_id: radio eins vom rbb
media_content_type: TUNEIN
service: media_player.play_media
mode: single
Groups are not supported for echos/alexas.
See this post
Nevertheless it works with a stereo group here.
TTS with GA (Google Broadcast) to a SPECIFIC DEVICE
Hello, im just sharing here how I have managed to broadcast on google to specific devices from mini-media-player. I had searched for this but been unable to find the answer so hope it helps someone.
@kalkih iāll post on github too and hopefully it can be incorporated into future versions.
Custom Notify service named ga_broadcast as per the documents
(Please note, im using Assistant Relay rather than Google Assistant Webserver)
notify:
- name: ga_broadcast
platform: rest
resource: !secret assistant_relay_url
method: POST_JSON
data:
user: "Home Assistant"
broadcast: "true"
talkback: "false"
command: "{{ message }}"
device: "{{ target }}"
Now we need to edit the mini-media-player file as follows
CHANGE
"ga" === b.platform ? this.hass.callService("notify", "ga_broadcast", {
message: c
}
TO
"ga" === b.platform ? this.hass.callService("notify", "ga_broadcast", {
message: c,
target: b.target
}
Now on your mini-media-player card, add the target option for the device you want to broadcast too
tts:
platform: ga
target: Kitchen display
I hope people find this useful as this was the final missing link between Mini Media Player and TTS for me.

hiā¦ if someone can help me!
how can i put a speaker selection on mini media cardā¦
i have google mini, google home and group speaker ā¦
thanks in advance ;).
Hi guys. Is there anyone of you who knows if it is possible to resize/enlarge only the Play/Pause and Previous/Next buttons?
Or move them to a totally different location, for instance in the center of the cover?
Or change the look of the play/pause-buttons totally?
Do you have samples of your join scripts? The ones you call with those slick buttons at the bottom of the card?
yeah something like this:
sonos_office_join_unjoin:
alias: Sonos Kantoor Join/Unjoin
sequence:
- choose:
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: media_player.sonos_kantoor
state: playing
sequence:
- service: sonos.unjoin
data:
entity_id: media_player.sonos_kantoor
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: media_player.sonos_kantoor
state: paused
sequence:
- service: sonos.join
data:
entity_id: media_player.sonos_kantoor
master: media_player.sonos_woonkamer
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: media_player.sonos_kantoor
state: idle
sequence:
- service: sonos.join
data:
entity_id: media_player.sonos_kantoor
master: media_player.sonos_woonkamer
default: []
mode: single
So iām checking if the speaker is playing, if true, it will unjoin. If itās paused or idle i join the speaker in the living room, because thatās te room where the music normally starts playing in our case. In this case i only have to create one script.

Why us your mini media player showing the plex fanart? mine isnāt!
Excellent - that works great, thanks. I understand what you were going for with the single script; I just wish it would indicate grouping (by colored icon) even when the master is not playing.
How do you mean? It does indicate whether the speaker is playing or not. If you play music on that particular speaker the icon and color changes. What else would you like to see?
Oh yes, it does! And actually, your code allowed me to make this small change so I see what I was looking for (see code comments)
state:
- color: '#216491'
icon: 'mdi:speaker-wireless' #grouped and playing
value: playing
- color: '#8C8C8C'
icon: 'mdi:speaker' #grouped and NOT playing
value: paused
- color: '#8C8C8C'
icon: 'mdi:speaker-off' #ungrouped
value: idle

Hello, I just love this thingā¦
Is there a way to add multiple MPD servers to be controled as group or be able to select which server to interact with?
Thanks
@pdefoy, the card is well documented. Here is what it says:
Speaker group object
See Speaker group management for example usage.
Supported platforms
I donāt see mpd in there.
Hey pixeye33.
Could you share the code fir this setup with the buttins?
Thanks
Does this allow for an interruption TTS to music and then music resuming afterwards in the same way that Assistant Relay does when broadcasting to all devices?
Yes , that is exactly what it does.
Thatās great! Perhaps you could submit a PR to the Assistant Relay repo as I know he was hoping to see targeted broadcasts possible.
