Bumping an old thread, but this still comes up in Google results. Here’s an improved sensor that doesn’t require listing names of media players to ignore.

  - sensor:
      - name: 'Emby Watching'
        state: >
          {{ states.media_player
            | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'playing')
            | selectattr ('entity_id', 'match', '.*emby.*')
            | list
            | count
          }}
        unit_of_measurement: " Watching"
