Hi,
I have integrated Amazon’s Fire Stick into Home Assistant, but when I see movies on Amazon Prime Video the mini media player goes black and does not show the images.

Also, when I use Kodi, images are shown static every 5-10 seconds and not as a video stream, is this normal?

Do you mean the cover images ?
If so theres an update coming but I dont know when. It will hopefully fix the cover image issues.

Unfortunately, I can’t find the Mini Media Player in the HACS repository. Any idea what I do wrong. Should be straight forward.
Go to HACS, go to Integration, click +, then in search “mini” that’s it?

It is not an integration, it is a lovelace card.

So I should find it in frontend? But I did’nt?

found it - soory being an newbie :relaxed:

now I can see it under resources at the lovelace dashboard tab. But how can I get it on tab of my dashboard?

By clicking “add card” (the big plus) when editing the UI.

yes but the mini player is not available on the menu there

It is a custom card, you need to click where it says

Need to add a custom card or just want to manually write the yaml?

type the details in.

I’m an absolute beginner in this yaml stuff, no idea. used all the “wisiwig” thins in HASS up to now.
Second problem my installation is in german so I have always to search the equivanlent…
Am I at least in the right direction

Try reading this thread for examples, but I suggest you start with

type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.kitchen

thank you very much, so I have a start at least and going to search through the thread.

Look at the examples in github (link in first post). The docs are the first place to look, not the last.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I currently have one zone of my Russound connecting to a Denon receiver and an automation to determine if the Russound zone is on or off and turn on or off the Denon accordingly.

Then I have Mini-Media-Player setup to control the volume from the Denon.

But I have another system with a generic receiver controlled with a Harmony Hub (although it has RS232 as well, I’m not using that). Is there anyway to achieve the same thing using the Harmony?

This is what I have in Mini-Media-Player for the Denon setup:

  - entity: media_player.living_room
    group: true
    hide:
      controls: true
      volume: true
    type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
  - entity: media_player.denon_avr
    group: true
    hide:
      controls: true
      icon: true
      info: true
      mute: true
      name: true
      power: true
      source: true
    type: 'custom:mini-media-player'

Might be a job for a universal media player?

Hmmm. I’ll need to look at Universal Media Player.

Icons are still missing (can be pressed, but they are invisible).
