Change this bit in the code below

entity_id: media_player.hifi_pi

to suit your media player, can be set to Kodi and used to show Video usage instead for instance.

  - platform: history_stats
    name: Music Listening This Week
    entity_id: media_player.hifi_pi
    state: 'playing'
    type: time
    start: '{{ as_timestamp( now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) ) - now().weekday() * 86400 }}'
    end: '{{ now() }}'

  - platform: history_stats
    name: Music Listening This Month
    entity_id: media_player.hifi_pi
    state: 'playing'
    type: time
    end: '{{ now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) }}'
    duration:
      days: 30

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      percent_playing_music_weekly:
        unit_of_measurement: "%"
        value_template: "{{ '%.1f'|format(states('sensor.music_listening_this_week')|float * 100 / 168) }}"

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      percent_playing_music_monthly:
        unit_of_measurement: "%"
        value_template: "{{ '%.1f'|format(states('sensor.music_listening_this_month')|float * 100 / 720) }}"

And for the groups.yaml

Media Activity:
  view: no
  entities:
  - sensor.percent_playing_music_weekly
  - sensor.percent_playing_music_monthly
