Maxi Media Player

How do I get rid of this (it appeared after the 2nd to the last upgrade):

Looking to have just the volume controls.
Thanks

You need to upgrade to the latest version of the card.


I hope you enjoy this card!

I am currently on v9.2.5?

Just discovered this card and it fits nicely to my needs! Great job!
Two questions, that I could not find answers (or overlooked):

  • Is it possible to remove volume slider, but keep volume up/down buttons? My meds allayer only allows incrementing/decrementing volume, not to set it explicitly, so it is confusing. Especially that it is not possible to read actual volume from player.
  • When I click browse media button, it does not direct me to media library, but to generic entity More Info popup, from which I can select library… Did I miss something or it is intended to work like this? BTW I use Roon media players with this card.

The below link may have some card mod you can use, I would suggest deleting the mxmp-player-controls$ out of the below.

Example 18 - Hide the volume button and percentage

card_mod:
  style:
    mxmp-player$ mxmp-player-controls$ mxmp-volume$: |
      .volume-level, ha-icon-button {
        display:none !important;
      }

All music cards this seems to be the current behaviour

I can’t remove the Home and Favorites icons and leave the taskbar clean. Any suggestions?

card_mod:
  style:
    mxmp-player$ mxmp-player-controls$ mxmp-volume$: |
      ha-control-slider {
        height: 10px;
      }
      .volume-level, ha-icon-button {
        display:none !important;
      }
    mxmp-player$ mxmp-navigation$: |
      .nav {
        display: none !important;
      }
      .controls {
        display: none;
      }

Sorry!!!
This section removes it. I’m an idiot.
sections:
- player
- volumes
- media browser
- queue
- groups

Is it possible the queue is not showing? If I go to the settings and select queue as starting page it does show, so that means it is nog broken, just no way to view or select the que? Or am I missing something…

By the wat, love this one! An were using it daily, so thanks!

This card is amazing! I’m trying to figure out if I can make it do what I want though. Here’s my setup-
I have 4 MA Players. However, they are all connected differently to speakers. 1 is a PiCore connected to the AVR in the living. 1 has an amp connected directly to speakers, and 2 are going through a multi-room amp and cab be played in any of those rooms.

I currently use Universal media players for each room along with templating to link the speakers and allow for the selection of a source.
For Example-
If Source 1 is selected in the office, it switches the multi-room amp source to the House PiCore player for the office speakers and the volume controls the amp volume for that room.

I’ve been using a different media player card along with variuos scripts and custom buttons, but I find it unreliable and slower than this one. I’m just trying to figure out how to get this to work where I can set it up and have the rooms activate correctly and appear correctly for control.

Is this possible in some way?

(I know I’m probably not describing it well, sorry).

Edit: I can use an input helper to select what source to use in each room, but I’m not sure how to then auto select which source to use on the Maxi Media Player.
If I select House PiCore Player using an input helper for the Office, it will automatically set the zone to the correct source and turn on the PiCore Player. But how can I then set the Maxi Player to show that player through automation or a script? Would I need to separate Maxi Players, one for each possible source for the room that just doesn’t show the other?

Try the latest beta with config entityPlatform: music_assistant

Thanks for responding. That’s what I’m using. I think I’m pretty close.

I have to have a card for each source along with buttons to choose the source and turn it off. If Music Stream 1 is selected, it only shows the card associated with that source.

Behind the scenes is an input_select helper and a number of scripts. I had these all in place already so it was just a matter of figuring out the card and the logic for the buttons.

I wish I it could dynamically swap the source on the card (template for the entity_id?) so I only needed one card, but this is pretty good!

I created an issue on Github because I think the only thing still tripping me up still is volume control. I set the volume_entity_id to the entity that should control the volume, but it’s still using the music assistant player volume.

I’m also seeing some weirdness with search. I’ll search for an artist, click on their name, it’ll say nothing found and then I click the play button on the top and it’ll start playing the artist.

I fail to reproduce this issue.
Could you post an issue on Github, then we can dig deeper :pray:

Issue created for the search, PR created for the volume entity.

Great card! Best media player for Music Assistant so far.
Looks great and highly configurable.

It would be great if it could also have ā€œThis deviceā€ player, like you have it when go to Music Assistant, which allows you to play music on your phone, in the car, on laptop, etc.

Would be nice. Anyone who has an idea how, please contribute :pray:

Hi @PunxsutawneyPhil I wondered if you had any thoughts about supporting search for other integrations than MA? I’ve added the media_player.search_media action to the Squeezebox integration, which I’m guessing is what might use, but since you’ve made this MA specific, I wondered what else might be required to extend support to other platforms.

We could give it a go, create an issue in github and we’ll dig into it!
