Where is your config? The actual player under the card needs to support pausing, of course, but there is a config option for this card regarding play/pause buttons. Did you check the docs?
Config for the player Iâm using that doesnât show Pause as a status? Or do you mean the config for this player?
The cardâs config.
Have you read the docs?
Yes, and I canât figure out why Iâm only getting Play and Idle status from the player when using Kodi. What would cause it to not show Pause as a state?
For the last time:
You mean the configuration.yaml ? Iâm very new to HA and still learning, so please be patient with me. I followed the guide to download this player, but I donât see it showing up in HA. Do I have to do something to activate it after downloading it? Does this code go in the configuration.yaml?

I believe I have the player working, but none of the controls work. I tap the Pause icon and nothing happens.
Are you configuring your dashboard via the UI? We need to see the YAML config behind that card.
Your card shows up, which means the installation is fine. The problem is the config for the card. The card is just the visual for the actual player (your Kodi entity).
When you added the card to your dashboard view, what steps did you follow (not talking about the installation steps)?
Is this the configuration.yaml you are talking about, or is there a separate one for the mini player?
I donât think you are using the custom Mini Media Player card in that screenshot - that looks like the core Media Control card.
This is not the forum thread to discuss that - youâd be better off starting a new thread describing your problem with pausing Kodi as a media player. It sounds more like an issue you are having with the underlying Kodi integration rather than the card you are using to display it on your dashboard.
Iâm trying to test this player to see if it shows the Pause state, or is that not likely? At the very least, Iâd like to get the controls to work on a player.
You need to take a step back and read this:
Youâre not answering the questions youâve been asked â several times. Being new isnât an excuse for that.
I think youâre right, but they do have the module for MMP configured. Itâs impossible to understand what theyâre doing if theyâre not answering basic questions.
I did answer your question but you didnât answer my question. I asked you if this was the yaml config you were referring to when you needed to see the yaml config. Being new means I donât have a grasp at all the terminology yet. Not sure why you think thatâs an âexcuseâ. If I knew everything, I wouldnât be here asking for help.
Mate, it wasnât possible to answer your question, because I donât know the steps you followed. There are a few ways things can be done. That was why I was asking. You still havenât retraced your steps. Either way, it doesnât seem like youâre even using the card of this topic. I canât help if things are unclear.
This is what Iâve done so far. I think this is where Iâm stuck. Where do I put this url?
url: /hacsfiles/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js type: module
Dashboard/Resources is where I added the url, is that correct?
According to the prior message, youâve chosen the option to manually configure your dashboards, so itâs in YAML mode. That means, you must add that to the resources section of your configuration.yaml.
resources:
- url: /hacsfiles/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js
type: module
I believe you are barking up the wrong tree. The states are provided by the integration. Mini media player is dashboard card. It doesnât add a state to the media player entity. It shows the states provided by the integration.
And kodi provides playing, paused and idle. You can see those states in the developer tools/states page.
