Mini media player volume slider does not work with Samsung TV

If I use the slider for the volume control in the player, not only does it not control the volume, it does not even recognize the current volume level. If I instead use ‘volume_stateless’, the +/- buttons control the volume, but the slider still does not reflect the current volume. Is this a bug?

The mini media player assumes the media player entity use standard entity names, which it seems your Samsung TV might do in this case.
There might be a media player template available in HACS where you can remap the correct entities to the correct names.

I’m sure what to search for in HACS. I tried searching for media and mini. Nothing.

try “media player template”

Still nothing found. Thanks anyway.
