This works for the changing token.
- platform: generic
name: Bedroom Sonos
still_image_url: 'https://xx.duckdns.org/api/media_player_proxy/media_player.bedroom?{{ states.media_player.bedroom.attributes.token }}'its that token. @witno Try what I just posted in this link…hint hint nudge nudge @rene LOL
also make sure when you put that url together it doesnt add anything when you hit enter. I use a mac and chrome and everything i put those urls together it slides an unwelcomed /index on me. i forget. i get mad. i do it again anyway.
Let me know if this helps

can you share your code of the media player dashboard?
what are you looking for? how to get the picture? theres a lot of components on there
I just finished figuring out how to keep the pic updated based on what im doing. if im listening to music i get the entity pic of what im watching is displayed and if im watching tv the pic of what im watching is displayed. and the volume stays true no matter where the volume is changed. you want those two things? the buttons are scrtipts that call a playlist or station on my sonos
same for me
if possible all, so I will getthe bits and pieces I will use
no problem. ill post in a couple, im on a work call right now.
it’s working, only problem is when there is no picture (the media_player is off) … maybe possible to put a picture that nothing is playing?
Did you ever get to see that pic using the url? you need to solve that problem first
yes solved, it was nothing because the media_player was off. I wish that when the media_player has no picture that we could put in the dashboard a predefined picture (like nothing is playing)
Hats what I just finished. If plex is playing it takes that pic priority 1. Sonos priory’s 2 if it’s off it uses a standard image. I’m almost done
Ohh very cool.
BTW the token is not needed
Duh. Still not getting it working here. I can paste the
… entity_picture: /api/media_player_proxy/media_player.spotify?token=d3ca78b8d7310bb7ce82d3fb6eb9c536b6765eba25a5f2925ed2618c09da73ef&cache=3dcc718b563e0c4c
url in the browser and get album art, however the
http://10.0.0.27:8123//api/camera_proxy/camera.generic_camera?
is a 404
The full url with token:

Ive found that the token is not needed sometimes. but thats not good, i dont want it to work sometimes. So I added the token. Here are a few things that should help: *I use sonos, but Im sure this should work with other media players too.
**Get currently playing info:**
- platform: template
sensors:
lr_playing:
value_template: ' {{states.media_player.living_room.attributes.media_title}}<br />{{states.media_player.living_room.attributes.media_artist}} '
**get current volume level**
- platform: template
sensors:
living_room_vol:
value_template: "{{ states.media_player.living_room.attributes.volume_level }}"
friendly_name: Living Room Volume
**this is the old one. this just pulls the current pic of whats playing:**
- platform: template
sensors:
mediapic_bed:
value_template: https://xxx.xxx.xxx/api/media_player_proxy/media_player.bedroom?{{ states.media_player.bedroom.attributes.token }}
friendly_name: Bedroom Now Playing
**This is part of the code that I use to say what picture it needs. * i still need to clean it up on my side**
- platform: template
sensors:
lrtest:
value_template: >
{% if is_state('media_player.plex_living_room', 'playing') %}
Plex
{% elif is_state('media_player.living_room', 'playing') %}
Music
{% endif %}
- platform: template
sensors:
lrtoomuch:
friendly_name: "LR URL"
value_template: >-
{% if is_state('sensor.lrtest', 'Plex') %}
https://xxx.xxx.xxx/api/media_player_proxy/media_player.plex_living_room?{{ states.media_player.plex_living_room.attributes.token }}
{% elif is_state('sensor.lrtest', 'Music') %}
https://xxx.xxx.xxx/api/media_player_proxy/media_player.living_room?{{ states.media_player.living_room.attributes.token }}
{% endif %}
this is the camera for the entity pic:
- platform: generic
name: Living Room Playing
still_image_url: "{{states('sensor.lrtoomuch')}}"
This changes the volume based on me moving the slider
- alias: Sonos Living Room Volume
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_number.sonos_living_room_volume
action:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.living_room
volume_level: '{{ trigger.to_state.state }}'
This moves the slider if i change the volume elsewhere:
- alias: living room vol set input number
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.living_room_vol
action:
service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.sonos_living_room_volume
value: "{{ states.sensor.living_room_vol.state | float }}"
this is a script for playing a favorite:
oldrap:
alias: "2k Rap"
sequence:
- service: media_player.sonos_join
data:
master: media_player.living_room
entity_id:
- media_player.basement
- media_player.bedroom
- media_player.living_room
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
entity_id:
- media_player.basement
- media_player.bedroom
- media_player.living_room
volume_level: "0.4"
- service: media_player.select_source
data_template:
entity_id:
- media_player.basement
- media_player.bedroom
- media_player.living_room
source: '2K Hip-Hop'
**inputnumber**
sonos_living_room_volume:
name: Living Room Volume
initial: 0.3
min: 0.0
max: 1.0
step: 0.1

Let me know if you have any questions. Or if you get stuck.
@witno - here you go. This will display a photo or whatever you want when the media players are inactive. I have a web server I use that just gets a photo locally. I believe home assistant has a web server built in thats easy to use, I just havent ever had too. im sure a quick search would get you an answer though.
