That makes sense. I’ll put it on my list of things to do

On the latest beta you can now select a default tab on multi.
In addition to that the multi card has a new compact mode that is the size of the OG mediocre card.
Massive has also had some changes. It is now rendered as a multi card that just doesn’t have to ability to change player focus, and has some tweaks to make it more like the old massive card.

Hi - great card! Thanks for the work!
Quick question on volume controls.
My set up is a sonos player connected to a stereo receiver with 5.1 speakers in main room, and zone 2 wired to a set of ceiling speakers in the adjacent kitchen.
I’ve been using a secondary card with two bubble sliders to control the volume in the two zones.
Is there a way to deal with this in your card where the “volume entities” are different than the media player and the ability to enable multiple zones so when I click on the volume I can see both “Family Room” and “Kitchen” with two independent volume sliders?
I’m afraid not. You would be able to control both players volume with UMP, but that would just be a single slider.
Is the receiver a yamaha with musiccast by chance? Because then you could actually get what you want if you use the music cast entities for the group part of the card, and then group main and zone 2.
I just want to say that I absolutely LOVE this card. I have been trying to use Music Assistant for months, but could never succeed because of various issues with other cards and glitches that would stop the playback, or not start it properly, or others.
I use this with a Musiccast sytem with 8 different media players and it works flawlessly when it comes to linking, unlinking, and adjusting volume. I love that I can also change the source within the card! I also really appreciate the ability to add my own shortcut buttons within the card, which I use to open popups with various sound settings for my receiver, as well as for a button which I have run an automation which resyncs all my media players as sometimes after a few days one or two of them tends to lag behind a bit.
Since I love this card so much, I don’t know if I’d ever want to use another! It is the first time that playing music at home has the wife approval through HA an not the musiccast app.
That being said, I have a few suggestions/requests that I think would REALLY make this card the best of the best.
- Add option to put “Favorite” shortcut in the main navigation tab, like next to queue or something
- When searching for media (which functions SO well), in the enqueue mode, is there any way to click “Play Radio”
- Add ability to exclude certain media players from the group volume — for example, I’d like my bathroom media player to always remain at a constant volume even if I turn up the volume everywhere else in the house. I used another media player card that had this function and I loved it, but I didn’t love everything else about that card nearly as much as this one!
Feel free to ignore these comments or suggestions, but the most important thing I want to say is THANK YOU for all of your work on this.

Is there a way to limit the max volume?
Not with this card no. However it’s often possible to limit volume on the receiver / smart speaker (I think).
