New tile card features for media players

Noticed in the 2026.5 release there are new tile card features for media players.

It mentions there is a "select source: a dropdown". Anyone know where this is? I don't see it listed in the features section of the card. I only see:

Media player playback controls
Media player volume buttons
Media player volume slider

None of these seems to have a select source drop down option.

For me, the tile card does have a source option (Media player source). It is the 4th option.

These are the only options I can see...

I am on version 2026.5.1

What is the media device? It matters when adding Features

Oh OK... that makes sense. It is a homepod mini. Also tried it with its music assistant speaker. Maybe it's an apple thing. Also tried it with home assistant voice speaker, don't see that option.

Unfortunately its not just isolated to Apple devices. Source selection only appears for platforms that allow that feature via HA.
