Just adding this for future tinkerers looking for a complete script. I adapted this to work while playing or paused (at least on an Apple TV):

- seek_interval:
    alias: Seek Interval
    fields:
      media_player:
        description: Media Player to be positioned.
        example: media_player.apple_tv_theater
      interval:
        description: Time in seconds from current position to be seeked. (+) Fast Forward. (-) Rewind.
        example: -10
    sequence:
      service: media_player.media_seek
      target:
        entity_id: "{{ media_player }}"
      data:
        seek_position:  >-
                        {% if (states('media_player.apple_tv_living_room') == 'playing')%}
                        {{(as_timestamp(now())-as_timestamp(state_attr(media_player, 'media_position_updated_at'))+state_attr(media_player, 'media_position'))|float+interval}}
                        {% else %}
                        {{state_attr(media_player, 'media_position')|float+interval}}
                        {% endif %}

Thanks for the running start!

Hi,

i think that’s quite easy.
I Did it like that:

SCR-20221227-eg8

    shortcuts:
      label: Radiosender
      list:
        - type: source
          name: 1LIVE
          id: 1LIVE
          icon: mdi:radio

Kind regards

2781

Hey! Thanks for the great card!!! Its possible to show the speaker group everytime without push on the speaker icon? thank you :smile:

2782

Wow thanks so much! why did I knot think the use label:

Hi there,
is there a way to present both volume change methods? i mean - the slider and the buttons?
Sometimes there is a need to change a value 1 and with slider it is difficult to do.

2785

hi Guys,

can you help me change the size of the player? I would like the mini media player to be the same size as the media control card.
what is the best way to go about it?

2786

Hi there,

A question, I made a web radio with 6 buttons to select/play the radio station,
Is it possible to set the text of the “Info”, it says ow “Streaming with…” but I would like to set the inf to the name of the radio station. Any help appreciated

Hi there,

I’m using this awesome card with a Volumio player. Everything works great except for the standby button. When pressing this I’m getting the following error…

2023-01-17 00_07_32-Dwains Dashboard – Home Assistant
2023-01-17 00_07_32-Dwains Dashboard – Home Assistant1276×337 274 KB

Translated: Cannot call service media… Entity does not support this service.

Is it posible to connect a script behind this button? With this script I can at least turn of the reciever for example…

2788

Volumio does not seem to support toggle. See here

2789

Yes I already found that out. The question is… can we program that standby button differently. I would like for example Volumio to stop playing and my reciever to go into standby…

2790

You could make a universal media player and use that in the UI. Universal Media Player - Home Assistant

2791

Good one, yes that will do the trick I think. Again another whole evening of coding to do but hey… I’ts a hobby right :sweat_smile:

I am looking at ways to improve my interface and found this thread. I have sliders that show up depending on whether each Sonos media player is grouped. If grouped, the volume slider is there; if not, it just shows some text. See this thread. I’ve posted some sample YAML below:

For the button, conditional based on join state:

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: binary_sensor.sonos_living_room_joined_kitchen
        state: 'on'
    card:
      type: custom:button-card
      aspect_ratio: 2/1
      entity: media_player.sonos_living_room
      name: Living Room
      color_type: card
      show_name: true
      tap_action:
        action: call-service
        service: sonos.unjoin
        service_data:
          entity_id: media_player.sonos_living_room
      show_state: false
      state:
        - value: playing
          icon: mdi:speaker-wireless
          color: rgba(0,128,0,0.7)
        - value: paused
          color: rgba(0, 128, 0, .7)
          icon: mdi:speaker
        - value: idle
          color: rgba(0, 200, 0, .7)
          icon: mdi:speaker
        - value: unavailable
          color: rgba(200, 0, 0, .7)
          icon: mdi:close-circle-outline
      styles:
        grid:
          - grid-template-areas: '"i" "n"'
          - grid-template-rows: 2fr 20%
        icon:
          - color: white
          - height: 35px
          - padding-top: 5px
        card:
          - height: 80px
        name:
          - font-size: 14px
          - color: white

    conditions:
      - entity: binary_sensor.sonos_living_room_joined_kitchen
        state: 'off'
    card:
      type: custom:button-card
      aspect_ratio: 2/1
      entity: media_player.sonos_living_room
      name: Living Room

      show_name: true

        service_data:
          entity_id: media_player.sonos_living_room
          master: media_player.sonos_kitchen
      show_state: false
      state:
        - value: idle
          color: rgba(169, 169, 169, .7)

          icon: mdi:speaker
        - value: unavailable
          color: rgba(200, 0, 0, .7)
          icon: mdi:close-circle-outline
      styles:
        grid:
          - grid-template-areas: '"i" "n"'
          - grid-template-rows: 2fr 20%
        icon:
          - color: white
          - height: 35px
          - padding-top: 5px
        card:
          - height: 80px
        name:
          - font-size: 14px
          - color: white
view_layout:
  grid-area: button1

For the slider, based on the same conditions:

type: conditional
conditions:
  - entity: binary_sensor.sonos_living_room_joined_kitchen
    state: 'on'
card:
  hide:
    controls: true
    source: true
    icon: true
    power: true
    info: true
    progress: true
    name: true
    mute: true
  group: true
  type: custom:mini-media-player
  hide-if-unavailable: true
  artwork: none
  entity: media_player.sonos_living_room
view_layout:
  grid-area: volume1

When pressed, the buttons run a script that either joins or unjoins based on current join state. That changes the state of the condition and the color of the button/visibility of the slider.

EDIT: I’m coming back to this because I changed the way this worked a long time ago, and I no longer use a script. The purpose of the script was to evaluate the grouped state of the speaker before executing a join or unjoin. But since I’m using a conditional to display the button card… I already know whether it’s joined or unjoined, so the script is no longer necessary. The YAML above is correct.

Is there a way to get the url of the cover to apply it to the entire card?

And I will share my setup. 5 Linkplay streamers. Two of them can be used as a master device (the others can be used separately, but this is not necessary). If they are idle, then the cards are collapsed.
The bottom row of buttons is a template switchs (run/stop local music service, on/off multi room for all device) and separate multiroom control buttons (run scripts). You can unify, but I’m lazy

Hi all,

is there a way to change the icon and color depending on a state of the device?

I’ve tried power_state: true but it does nothing. On template cards I use the following code but I think it is not integrated inthis card right?

   icon: |-
      {% set state=states('light.all_lights') %}
        {% if state=='on' %}
        mdi:lightbulb-group
        {% else %}
        mdi:lightbulb-group-off-outline
        {% endif %}
    icon_color: |-
      {% set state=states('light.all_lights') %}
        {% if state=='on' %}
        yellow
        {% elif state=='off' %}
        gray
        {% else %}
        {% endif %}

You’ll need to look at the states of your media_player entity to see what you need. Many don’t have on/off, they have states like idle, playing, paused etc.

2796

Yes I know that :slight_smile: Above code was just an exmaple of a different card where this function is working. My point/question is: does this option work or not in mini media player?

2797

Is it possible to have a dropdown for the media shortcuts instead of the buttons?

THANKS!! i came here looking for this.
I wanted to make the background none, because using this in a custom button card.
