I’m not using the Kodi player. I’m using MPC-HC as an external player with Kodi. MPC-HC only shows Idle and Playing.

3157

But your question was about Kodi. What does state say when you pause?

Edit: Ok I found your other thread Kodi and MPC-HC not showing Pause state

This card will not fix the integration.

3158

It says Playing when it’s paused.

3159

Okay, that’s all I need to know.

Hi, great job, could you please add the double_tap_action function: I don’t see it defined

3161

Is it possible to group other types of media players than Sonos, that are the same type? I have Yamaha YNCA (custom component), and I would like two of the volume controls to be attached to each other.

3163

Yeah, that’s where I looked. I saw that media player was supported, but maybe that doesn’t count for a media player that runs on YNCA? I must admit that I didn’t understand this part:

HomeAssistant added join/unjoin services to the media_player. Future official integrations will implement these services (which are slightly different from the ones, which are already supported by this card) instead of implementing them in their own domain.

Does this mean that YNCA will not work?

3164

I don’t think the YNCA integration (I am guessing this GitHub - mvdwetering/yamaha_ynca: Custom integration for Home Assistant to support Yamaha AV receivers with the YNCA protocol (serial and network).) supports join and unjoin. You should check with the author.

How to increase the size of the card when using ‘artwork: full-cover-fit’ ?
I was thinking using the scale option, but nothing change…
Maybe with card-mod? But how? Examples?

The mini player doesn’t have the “browse media” button the default media player in HA has, and I couldn’t find a way to show it in the docs, does anyone have any tips on how to be able to show that?

3169

Hi where do I get the logos?

3170

Any option to add announcement feature as tts? I have notify_alexa blueprint

3171

Try GitHub - elax46/custom-brand-icons: Custom brand icons for Home Assistant

Can you show a yaml of this. I love that i can get the some of the features pulled from spotify, like favorites and made for you, but i don’t want all of the features or the main player.

3173

Sure. There’s actually very little yaml.

So, in the mini-media-player, I have …

type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.den
artwork: full-cover
toggle_power: false
hide:
  volume: true
card_mod:
  style: |
    :host {
      --mini-media-player-button-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
      --mini-media-player-overlay-color: rgba(25,25,25,0.75);
      --mini-media-player-overlay-color-stop: 50%
    }
    mmp-shortcuts {
        color: black;
    }
shortcuts:
  hide_when_off: true
  columns: 1
  buttons:
    - icon: mdi:heart
      name: Favourites
      type: service
      id: input_boolean.toggle
      data:
        entity_id: input_boolean.den_favourite_visibilty

You see the action is to toggle a boolean helper called input_boolean.den_favourite_visibilty.

Then directly under the media player, I have a maxi media player, which has its visibility driven by the state of that helper - it’s just done in the UI, but the resulting yaml is

type: custom:maxi-media-player
sections:
  - media browser
entities:
  - media_player.den
mediaBrowserTitle: Favourites
hideBrowseMediaButton: false
visibility:
  - condition: state
    entity: input_boolean.den_favourite_visibilty
    state: "on"

Maxi has the option of showing only a set of its pages, so I just an showing the media-browser section.

This is partly driven by the fact that mini-media-player doesn’t have the ability to show the browse media button - so I show the favorites here, but also include the browse media button.

Let me know if you have any problems.

No, there isn’t a way, but see my post above… I use the media browser page from maxi media player in combination with mini to do this.

Not to detract from the Mini Media Player (it’s a great player!) …

If you frequently use Spotify, then you might check out the SpotifyPlus Integration; it can do everything that the HA Spotify integration can do, supports Spotify Connect enabled devices (Bose, Sonos, Chromecast, Amazon Alexa, Denon, JBL, and more), and provides 95+ custom services that can be used in HA automations and scripts.

There is also a SpotifyPlus Card user-interface that allows you to control the player, manage your Spotify favorites (playlists, artists, albums, tracks, audiobooks, podcasts, etc), as well as search the Spotify catalog in real-time. You have to install the SpotifyPlus integration first though, and get it configured before you can use the SpotifyPlus Card.

Both are easily installed via HACS.

Hope it helps!
