Hi everybody!
I have been out of the world last year, and i just recovered my Home Assistant installation.
I am aware that Android TV integration has changed last year. Regarding this, as far as i remember, when i used media player lovelace card it showed the name of the movie / video / content i was playing on TV, and it displayed the content as background of the card. I used to have mini media player card also.
I triyed both now, but they just show the app is launched, and no background image.
Are this two feautres deprecated? or am i doing something wrong?
I search here and google it, but i didnt find the answer.
Thanks a lot, good to be back 
I have 3 problems.
When i use buttons option, script loading is very slow. The sound of the radio is coming after 20 seconds.
buttons:
- id: script.ecouter_france_info
name: France Info
type: script
If i use the script in a different card, radio is launching immediately.
My script :
ecouter_france_info:
alias: Ecouter France Info
sequence:
- service: media_player.play_media
data:
media_content_id: http://icecast.radiofrance.fr/franceinfo-lofi.mp3
media_content_type: music
enqueue: play
target:
device_id: c2f2317789b8454e2ea840badc362aa8
mode: single
If i ask to google home with voice (direct), radio is launching immediately.
Futhermore i have the card covered using ths way, not if i use “button” option.
I would like the button in use be in color to know wich one is in use.
Thanks for your help for those 3 issues.
hello, is there anyway to move the position of the track info and media controls? would like to position more like the default media player
Is it normal for a custom background to replace the artwork for playing media like what’s happening with my PlayStation or am I missing a css or ifthen code line?

Hi, I have Mini Media player installed and it works, but I am only getting the background art on my Apple TV units at this time. I have a Sony OLED TV that has the Google TV O/S and I’m only getting “Prime Video” on the card if I’m watching Prime Video…no title, etc.
Any ideas?
That’s a question for the integration used or wherever the underlying media player comes from.
hi all!
what code i have to use to play music by google home?
i have a script to start spotcast:
sequence:
- service: spotcast.start
data:
entity_id: media_player.soggiorno_google_home
and then?
thank you
I have the same issue.
As for now I call scripts to do what I want to be done but it feels kind of unnecessary if it could be done directly from the card.
My Marantz amplifier doesn’t work with the integration as far as toggling power is concerned and needs to use a switch which is configured to send a telnet command, is it possible to change the switch that the power button on the media player card toggles? I’ve tried creating a universal media player and adding that as the mini media player player but that doesn’t seem to work.
Using a universal media player entity does not show the mute and volume buttons when “call service” remote.send_command is used for those items.
Just wanted to share a design I made for my homepods.
In the screenshot example I have it nested inside of a pop-up bubble-card, but none of that code is below.
Required: Custom-State-Switch card for all the available states and Card-Mod for light styling and transparent backgrounds.
When in the state of: playing, paused
And in the state of: unavailable, off, standby, idle.
Feel free to customize.
(PS, I’m no coder, apologies for in-elegant, but working, code.)

Thank you, I just hit this wall today and with a bit of googling you are saving me from having to re-ask this question.
It seems it is still the case in Sep/2023. I guess I’ll go the route of predefining groups.

Hello
Is it possible to change the size of the shortcut image?
.mmp-shortcuts__button > div > img {
height: 24px;
to height: 50px;
That’s nice do you have the code for that media card
I must be doing something wrong… I am on the latest version of HA and the latest version of mini-media-player. When I add the card, the presentation is all messed up. You can’t use the UI to select the media_player. Nothing there works. You can show the code editor, but the display of the mini-media-player has all of its buttons missing and the formatting is all messed up. If I’ve researched correctly, the problem may be with the use of ha-icon-button in custom cards with the newer versions of HA? If that’s the problem, why hasn’t mini-media-player been updated to address that? Seems like a very popular add-on, so I must be doing something wrong. Hope somebody can help. Thanks.
