I’m out of ideas here. Can’t get it working no matter what.
I’ve installed through hacs and added the resource via UI (Config>Lovelace>Resources Tab).
No luck so far.
Resource path: /community/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js
Any help would be appreciated.
Simple card I’m trying:
- type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
entity: media_player.echo_show
icon: 'mdi:spotify'
Apparently i needed to correct my resource path to:
/hacsfiles/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js
And remove the ‘-’ of the card configuration:
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
entity: media_player.echo_show
icon: 'mdi:spotify'
Hi
I have integrate to HA my not smart soundbar as a media player with this integration (uses broadlink rm mini). I added my custom own codes and it is almost working.
the configuration is as simple as it gets (I know there are many possibilities but I used the card for first time yesterday)
entity: media_player.soundbar
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
My problem is that if the slider for volume isn’t working although the arrows do change the sources as they should
If I enter in the menu the volume and mute function also working fine
I can leave it as it is but I would like to use the slider too.
Is there something I could do?
You will not get the volume slider to work with that setup I’m afraid, there’s no volume state.
There’s an option volume_stateless that switch out the slider for volume buttons, that would be your best option.
can you please tell me how I can put it in configuration of the card? if I do it ha needs restart?
edit: I tried and it is working!
last question about this. is there a way to enable mute button in the card (near to the volume buttons?)
Hi everyone.
I’m very new on this (literally 6 days since I started with HA, so I have a lot to learn) and I’m having some troubles.
This is my card:
Now, I’m having problems with the on/off switch of Playstation. I don´t know why, but the power on/off button only works when I want to turn it on, not when I want to turn it off. But When I enter to the Playstation card I can turn it on and off:
(Sorry, I cant post the image of the card becouse I’m new, so here’s the link: http://imgfz.com/i/Q2B6dkb.jpeg)
Also, I’m having another problem not related with MMP, but I think it could have the same solution.
I have another TV, and old TV that can only be turned off with media_player, I tried to enable WOL but did’t work. I also have a Broadlink IR switch, so I was thinking that maybe there’s a way to configure the on/off button to do specific actions. So I was thinking that could be a solution in both cases to change the button actions others, in the case on the TV it could be:
THIS TO TURN ON:
# - service: broadlink.send
# data:
# host: 192.168.1.16
# packet:
# #TURN ON
# - "JgBwAEwUKBIUFCcTFBMoExQTFRMnExUTExQTFBQAA0tPEygTFBMoExQTJxQUExQTJxQUExMUExQVAANLTxIpEhUSKRIVEigTFhEWESkSFhEVExUSFQADSlASKRIVEikSFBMpEhUSFRIpEhUSFBMWERYADQUAAAAAAAA="
AND THIS TO TURN OFF:
# service: media_player.turn_off
# entity_id: media_player.samsung_un32es6500
If is that possible I could try to set the on/off on the playstation too with media_player to see if it works.
Sorry about my poor english and i’ll be thankfull if someone could help me with this.
Pretty new to home assistant and such. I am currently using my leg web os tv and im wondering on two things.
Also thank you for creating the custom card! I love it
Has anyone experienced a problem with buffering the radio when sending to chromecast audio ?
I’ve made myself a radio with buttons and when I press the button I have to wait 20-40 seconds for the stream to play.
I dont have this problem for this stream https://18973.live.streamtheworld.com/RADIO538.mp3 (MPEG Audio layer 1/2(mpga) stereo, 44,1 kHz 32 Bitrate 128kb/s)
and have to wait for https://waw01-01.ic.smcdn.pl/t049-1.mp3 (MPEG Audio layer 1/2(mpga) stereo, 48 kHz 32 Bitrate 128kb/s)
When I run using VLC on a computer, the problem does not occur.
As a curiosity I’ll add that when I press quickly pause and after a while the play starts playing right away.

Hi,
For me mini-media-player not work at all. (hassio 0.110.4, hacs 1.0.3)
I installed with hacs (hacs is ok for other plugin like lovelace-slider-entity-row)
after install
in lovelace resources I have:
/hacsfiles/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js javascript module
(I can found it at this adress in hacsfiles)
But when I create a card :
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.yamaha_main
I get the message No card type found…
I tried to uninstall and reinstall hacs and mini media player several times without result
I don’t know where to look at
If you are using the UI to add the card you don’t need the dash or indention, so like this:
type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.yamaha_main
If that still does not work check that you have the appropriate resource for the card in the Configuration / Lovelace / Resources menu.
Thank you, that was it. I had referred to the sample in github:
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.kitchen_speakers
Lovelace examples are always written as if you were using yaml mode and have to list the card under a view. You have to adjust this for entering the config in UI edit mode as each card is presented on it’s own and the UI takes care of listing it under a view.
Hello, try the option toggle_power: false, might work better for some devices.
Yes, the universal media player can do just this, it basically allows you to map actions such as on/off to different services.
Not that I know of unfortunately.
I’m pretty sure the plex component exposed media artwork before, but I just tried and I don’t get any artwork from plex neither.
The card will show the artwork exposed by the component, so nothing I can do from my side, sorry. 
Plex component definitely exposes artwork of the current playing media. To check my own sanity I set up a fresh mini-media-player card on a Plex media_player and everything looks fine.
Can anyone experiencing this issue specifically with Plex create a github issue with more details?
I’m stupid, I actually only checked my chromecast entity attributes which was playing plex (not the actual plex component).
@jhardy Is it a plex media player or is it a chromecast/another entity you’re missing artwork on?
Thanks a lot! That command resolve the problem, what does it does?
And I’ll be trying the universal media player. Thanks!
Great,
By default the card will call the media_player service toggle, setting toggle_power: false will instead make the card call the turn_on / turn_off services conditionally based on the entity’s current state.
I am trying to use the image: and cover: options under the Shortcut item object of type button.
I can’t get the images to.
What is the path the plugin looks for these images relative to the HA main configuration folder?
How do I round the corners of the media player if it’s nested in another card?
