Hi everyone,
I’d like to share a custom media player card I’ve been working on:
Nature Media Player Card
The goal of this project is to create a more immersive and visually appealing media player experience in Home Assistant, inspired by natural design elements and a clean, modern UI.
Instead of the traditional “card look”, this focuses on:
- A more ambient and atmospheric presentation
- Better use of artwork and backgrounds
- A UI that blends into the overall dashboard rather than standing out as a block
It’s designed to work nicely alongside other custom cards (like Mushroom, Mini Media Player, etc.), but with a stronger focus on aesthetics and feeling.
Key ideas behind the project:
- Making media playback feel more “alive” and less static
- Creating a cohesive dashboard style (especially for media sections)
- Keeping configuration relatively simple while still allowing customization
I’d love to get feedback from the community:
- Ideas for improvements
- Feature requests
- Suggestions for better integration with existing setups
If anyone tries it out, feel free to share screenshots – I’d really like to see how people use it in their own dashboards.
Thanks!
