Lovelace: Mini Media Player

There was a change to sliders in HA core 2025.10.0, which broke this card.

A fix was released - make sure you have the latest version of the card: 1.16.10

I think I have that version installed as I don’t have any notification about a new version standing out in Home Assistant at the moment but I have redownloaded it and will check it out, but that doesn’t change the fact off course that I am looking for a way to display the current volume when using the volume up/down buttons instead of the slider (due to the slider volume level being under your finger while sliding and therefore unusable)

Edit: The update didn’t fix the slider issue for me. After redownloading the latest version from HACS and removing browser cache, I still see the slider set to 0 (apart from my question about showing entity attributes in a custom button through templating)

I created some shortcut buttons to stream radio stations and some playlists and was wanting to use square cover art instead of just the text, but the buttons are staying like wide buttons with a tiny thumbnail or else a cropped “cover”:

Is there a way to make the buttons square so the “image” is large enough to read or the “cover” doesn’t get cropped? I tried column_height and that didn’t seem to affect them.

The shortcuts section looks basically like the following:

shortcuts:
  columns: 3
  column_height: 200px
  cover: true
  buttons:
    - type: music
      image: /local/radio.jpg
      id: media-source://radio_browser/STRING
    - type: service
      cover: /local/playlist.jpg
      id: media_player.play_media
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.speaker_ma
        media_content_id: library://playlist/8
        media_content_type: playlist
        enqueue: replace
