Should be this I think
turn_on:
service: switch.turn_on
target:
entity_id: switch.0xa4c138db8ae96f3f
Same for turn off.

Unfortunately, I keep getting the message
The media_player/turn_off service failed to invoke. Entity media_player.volumio does not support this service.
Where do you see this?
You are still using the volumio media player. You need to use the one created by the universal media player.
It’s getting better 
But only the first switch after restarting the settings works
Don’t know if this question is asked before in this topic so sorry if it is.
Is it possible to create 2 dropdown lists in the mini media player? So 1 list for spotify playlists and 1 list for radio stations.
Thanks!

Why not use stack-in cards and build your own? In this screen shot in yellow there are four cards:
You need to think “out-of-the-box” and not inside. I created that because Mushroom has no input_select for inputs … so I jam an input_select and a media_player in a row … then I want dancing icons … so fracture that off … and I want to control level with my finger.
Four cards … so be it. No changes required by developers.
And then implement decluttering card … and bam.
Those are all auto-entities for every zone in my Dayton Audio matrix, with one simple decluttering template

Hello all.
I wanted to create a dynamic background so I went for the code below unfortunately this didn’t work.
Is there another way to dynamically display background images?
background: >-
{% if (state_attr('media_player.kantoor_audio', 'media_content_id') | contains('538')) %}
https://www.mp3streams.nl/logo/z/radio-538
{% else %}
'https://www.mp3streams.nl/logo/z/qmusic'
{% endif %}Your first image isn’t quoted, the second is.
I’ts not the quotes.With or without the quotes the outcome is the same.
It’s like the URL is not picked up in the if statement. Using the code in developer tools → templates it works fine and show the right URL.
That is why I thought this would work.
UPDATE
I just tried this and also this doesn’t give any results.
background: '{% if (1==1) %}https://www.mp3streams.nl/logo/z/radio-538{% endif %}'
I believe it is not possible to use statements in the background.
UPDATE 2:
I solved it with card-mod.
.mmp__bg {
{% if (state_attr('media_player.kantoor_audio', 'media_content_id') | contains('538')) %}
background-image: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Logo_538_Nederland.png') !important;
{% elif (state_attr('media_player.kantoor_audio', 'media_content_id') | contains('qmusic')) %}
background-image: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Qmusic_logo.svg/1714px-Qmusic_logo.svg.png') !important;
{% elif (state_attr('media_player.kantoor_audio', 'media_content_id') | contains('3fm')) %}

I know that I am reacting to the post almost one year old 
Did you solve the animated icon? I have animated bars and static as well and would like to achieve animated icon while playing and static while not.
No, but I wasn’t looking for it.
OK. Thanks anyhow.
Hi there,
I am trying to make the tts function working, but i cant figure it out…
i’ve created a script and in developer tools, it is working. I would love to combine this in the mediaplayer, so i can use it there. can someone help me with this?
the script that is working in developtools is:
service: script.turn_on
target:
entity_id: script.google_home_resume
data:
variables:
action:
- alias: Send TTS message
service: tts.google_translate_say
target:
entity_id: media_player.junior
data:
message: "{{states('input_text.tts')}}"
extra:
volume: 0.8
notice the template for the state of an input text helper. What i would like even more, is just a txt field where i can type the message to TTS to the mediaplayer.
can someone help me with this? Or is it just not possible? Maybe another workaround then?
Thanks in advance for your help!! i am a noob in home assistant and templating, but am trying and experimenting… If you want i can share the code from my mediaplayer card also…
Nothing to do with this thread.
Sorry if i was not so clear with the info i gave.
I am using the mini media player as a media player in my home assistant for different google hubs and mini’s. I’ve created with the mini media player a mediaplayer with different radio station buttons, and also a dropdown list with different spotify playlists. i’ ve also added the tts option in the media player and it worked for a while. Since last home assistant update the tts is not working anymore. So i am trying to set this up again.
The script described above, is just a script that i would like to implement into the media player TTS function but i can not figure it out.
Forgive me if i am in the wrong topic for this, i thougt this was a topic about all the questions that had to do with the mini media player options and config possibility’s.
If not, please tell me and i will delete this post.
my code for the mini media player i am using and that was working perfect is as followed:

Hi, I have a Denon receiver and it works great with this mini media player except one thing, despite the HEOS integration provides these 3 attributes, it doesn’t provide seek service, and it seems this could be the problem as I can’t make it to display the progress indicator at the bottom of the card.
Is it possible to show the progress indicator without the seek service, as I don’t need it but would like to see the progress?
The card displays the length and the remaining time however.
I solved this to do this,
Card indeed lost his text input after the update.
step1:
HACS install:
Dont forget to ad the source:
/hacsfiles/lovelace-multiline-text-input-card/lovelace-multiline-text-input-card.js
Restart Hassio, then make a helper:
tts_message:
name: TTS Message
initial: "This is a default message"
Then make automation:
automation:
- alias: Trigger TTS Service
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_text.tts_message
action:
service: tts.google_say
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.google_nest_woonkamer
message: "{{ states('input_text.tts_message') }}"
Then ad the follow text-card on your Dashboard:
type: custom:lovelace-multiline-text-input-card
entity: input_text.tts_message
name: TTS Message
Then you need to change the media-card:
type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.google_nest_woonkamer
artwork: cover
source: icon
sound_mode: full
tts:
platform: google
message: '{{ states(''input_text.tts_message'') }}'
icon: phu:google-home
Enter the text you want your smart speaker to say into the new input card. When you click the ‘Save’ button, the text you’ve entered will be sent to your speaker through an automation, allowing it to speak the message aloud.

Thank you very much!
Will try this.
A couple of days ago it worked with the media player code i provided above. Then i had a txt field at the bottom in the mediaplayer, where i could just type the message, and then next to it stood: send. and when i clicked on send, the message that i wrote was send to the speaker…
But somehow that doesn’t work anymore… maybe with the update? i dont know.
Do you think it would be possible using the script that i wrote above the media player code, implemented into the mediaplayer?
Why i ask this is: with that script, i am able when playing radio station or spotify stream, to send tts to the speaker, and when the tts message was spoken, the radio station or spotify stream, resumed playing from the point where it was… And that would be very nice…
thanks for your help! I will have a look at it!!
