Sensor icons - possible to mix mdi icons and custom pngs within a template

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’m using a template to change an icon depending upon what the source of my TV is. My problem is that all but one of these icons comes from mdi - the other I need to be default as they don’t have an iPlayer icon and are seemingly refusing to add one. My template is:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      tv_source:
        friendly_name: Watching
        value_template: '{{ states.media_player.living_room_tv.attributes.source }}'
        icon_template: "{% if is_state_attr('media_player.living_room_tv','source', 'Walter') %} mdi:desktop-tower {%- elif is_state_attr('media_player.living_room_tv','source', 'Netflix') %} mdi:netflix {%- elif is_state_attr('media_player.living_room_tv','source', 'BBC iPlayer') %} ?????????? {%- elif is_state_attr('media_player.living_room_tv','source', 'LiveTV') %} mdi:television {%- elif is_state_attr('media_player.living_room_tv','source', 'Chromecast') %} mdi:google-chrome {%- elif is_state_attr('media_player.living_room_tv','source', 'Amazon Prime Video') %} mdi:amazon {%- elif is_state_attr('media_player.living_room_tv','source', 'YouTube') %} mdi:youttube-play {% endif %}"

Is it possible to even do this? I understand that to use my own image it should be entity_picture not entity_icon - so is there no way to mix the two together and use mdi where available, and my own where not?

Any progress on this? I too would like to know if it’s possible

No progress on my end at least - and as you can see you’re the only reply. So I’m not holding my breath

Is it at least possible to use only .png’s in a template, instead of mixing them with mdi icons? I had also no luck with this one:(
