I did not…
Sorry for the compete newb question I am having a hard time getting my spotify shortcut to work it just sits idle and does not function. All my radio functions work great.
I have copied my ID from using the copy account link in the spotify app and taking out the URL to get my ID not sure if this is the right way of getting correct spotify:user ID? For playlist I just did the same.
Any help is greatly appreciated really pulling my hair out with this

I have a weird behaviour when I select “Swap volume slider for buttons”
This adds volume_stateless: true at the bottom.
When I do this, only the master responds to volume up/down. When using the slider, all of the grouped SONOS speakers respond. I prefer the buttons, as it’s easier on a touch screen.
Any way to retain the last cover from spotify? when the device is idle the last cover dissapear
Hi everyone has any of you created a media player to manage Volumio?
If you haven’t made it but you have a card with a media player, could you share the code?
Thanks
I found it much easier to use iframe right to volumio web server. Much easier and full function.

add the integration (as @nickrout mentioned)
-
create playlists from your volumio instance
-
create buttons or pick your playlists (from the drop down list) of your music/web radio through the mini-media-player lovelace card:
type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.volumio_rpi3b
group: true
hide:
controls: false
volume: true
power: true
artwork: material
volume_stateless: false
info: scroll
sound_mode: full
source: full
beware, that volumio goes to v.3 this month, so all of the above configuration might brake
Thank you best regards
Hi guys,
At present i am running Plex Media server on my RP4 on my HASS. So that i can enjoy multi speaker grouping that is found on my Sonos Speakers.
I have recently stumble upon Logitech Media Server and found that I was able to to run an Airplay Bridge inside LMS with that i can access and group my Sonos and Bose Speakers together for multi-room audio finally.
So what I have done below is moded my existing on my mini-media-player to enable the grouping.
I now face a small hurdle, i used to link all my Music on Plex with easy shortcuts to play an Album.
I would like to know how can this be shortcuts link be done now to point to LMS library instead?
Appreciate guidance from anyone…

You’ll need to play around with the squeezebox.call_method service, which allows you to use the Command Line Interface offered by LMS. (For a very detailed technical description of what you can do using the LMS CLI, see http://<your-lms-server-ip>:9000/html/docs/help.html).
For example, this should load (and play) an "<artist>" and "<album>" of the given "<genre>". You can leave any of these options blank by sending an * instead:
buttons:
- type: service
id: squeezebox.call_method
data:
entity_id: media_player.xxxxx
command: playlist
parameters: ["loadalbum", "<genre>", "<artist>", "<album>"]
You can replace loadalbum with addalbum if you don’t want to overwrite your existing playlist - it adds the tracks to the end of the playlist. Use insertalbum to add the album as the next item on the playlist.
I’m afraid I’m not familiar with how this card handles groups, so you may have to adapt the entity_id: parameter to suit your needs (I use the squeezebox.sync service to group my players rather than through the card), but I assume if the players are synced/grouped within LMS, then sending the album to just one of the players is sufficient to get it playing on all of them?
Thanks Chris,
I would give this option a try and see if i can get it working, looks much easier.
After much searching, I try to come out with a solution after looking through various forum posts and taking those concepts in.
I created a m3u playlist for all the songs i wanted to be in my Album using VLC. i then open the m3u file on text editor and ensured that the path that i am referencing my mp3s inside my HA media folder is correct.
Next i found this script in the forum to do a service call to play the playlist.
service: squeezebox.call_method
data:
command: playlist
parameters:
- play
- /media/Playlist/{{ playlist_name }}.m3u
target:
entity_id: media_player.{{ squeezebox_player }}
Inside my mini-media-player i get the shortcuts program to launch the script with the appropriate value.
buttons:
- name: Jukebox
icon: mdi:music
type: script
id: script.Test_Playlist
data:
squeezebox_player: dining_speaker
playlist_name: Jukebox_Songs
Its a long step to get things done but it still works. I give a try on your code and let you know how it turned out.
Your code works perfectly… 
@pdefoy my devices keep going into standby and the media player card’s entities like volume will show an old state. For example, the cover image which should show the cover for the music currently playing it instead shows the cover from music that played an hour earlier or even a day earlier. Have you had that problem and if so do you know of a solution?

@kalkih are you working on getting Google Home/Nest clients working in the Speaker Group Management? If yes, how far is dev? If not, is it something that you have a plan with?
If it for some reason already works, and Im the idiot behind the curtain, can you enlighten me on how to get it to work?
Regards

I still have issues with icons not visible. I have v1.15 and 2021.11.5. I have reset the cache again and again. The icons will appear for a short period of time and then disappear. I reset the cache on chrome and the iPhone HA companion app. What am I doing wrong? Any help much appreciated!!
Has anyone managed to group several Bose Soundtouch speakers just like Sonos? I saw the squeezebox solution which is fine for my own collection but am also using spotify for my source?
