This has been thought out really nice. Are you willing to share the gui-yaml code of the popup?
Thanks a lot!
@martheijnen and @mitch Hi, thank you! Itās impossibe for me to share that for the time being. I have split my configuration in to multiple yaml files (like more than 40 files). I donāt have the time to search them all an put them in a file or to share my entire setup. I can share the code of what you see there, but youāll be missing a lot of info and files. Itāll give you an idea how I created that and should help you on your way though!

And if you have multiple media players you want to swipe between just wrap those cards inside a swiper-card (install the plugin first through HACS). I removed that from the code above, because it would be confusing (since I also deleted other media players to showcase the code more clearly)
- cards:
- INSERT CARDS HERE
- INSERT CARDS HERE
- INSERT CARDS HERE
parameters:
spaceBetween: 20
pagination:
type: bullets
type: 'custom:swipe-card'
Make sure to view the post of Rob_NL I mentioned above to have the menu/script actually functional. I created my own script using his example: Chromecast Radio with station and player selection

Thanks, I managed to get the script working but now want the simple entity card i have in my āhomekit styleā layout. Itās not that easy to get that done :ā)
thanks, hope to can get something of your code working
Ah ok, yeah I donāt use the Homekit Syle card (you mean the one from DBuit right?)
Yes! correct. With my own additions onto it ofc
Yes, Iām not sure how that one works. I like his work, but donāt want to be dependable on someone elses work to create my interface. Thatās why I decided to not use his and create my own interface. I do use his popup sliders though. They work pretty good, though I want to create my own version later on.

Wish I had the same experience in yaml as you have. Did you share your config somewhere to just dig in and learn 
?
I started using Home Assistant since last december (so just over 7 months ago). I switched from Homey (smart home platform) after using that for around 1,5 years. I started using YAML mode like 3-4 months ago. I am by no means a programmer (I studied marketing and am working at communications/marketing). I just try a lot and figure out as I go.
I donāt have my config published right now. I might do that down the road, but Iād need to clean a lot up (have a lot of personal info and comments everywhere to help me code). Right now I donāt have the time to publish that unfortunately. There are a lot of other people who have their complete UIās programmable, like Dwaine and Jimmy.

Hey, Iāve started using spotcast and think its excellent! Iāve been able to set up some easy one click buttons in HA that are great for my family to use to get music into the room theyāre in!
However, Iām noticing a small problem in that it randomly stops playing back after approx ~30minutes. One click of the button gets it going again, but as a result we end up hearing a lot of the same tracks even with the ārandomā songs set to true.
Just wondering if I have done something incorrectly?
I have this configured on a template switch.
spotcast_everywhere:
friendly_name: "Everywhere Music"
value_template: "{{ is_state('media_player.everywhere', 'playing')}}"
turn_on:
- service: spotcast.start
data:
device_name: Everywhere
random_song: true
uri: 'spotify:playlist:xxx'
turn_off:
- service: media_player.turn_off
entity_id: media_player.everywhere
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Itās an hour (it might feel like 30 minutes because you started the service earlier, then stopped and played again). This has to do with the tokens. As far as I am aware there is no way around this at the moment.

Hi!
Iām trying to upgrade from 0.111.4 to the latest version but when I run the āCheck Home Assistant Configurationā tool from Supervisor to check my config against the latest version, I get the following incompatibility:
Failed config
General Errors:
- Component error: spotcast - No module named āspotipyā
The Spotcast component is working flawlessly in 0.111.4 so Iām not really sure why I get that response when checking against the new version??
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Weird. Uninstall spotcast and upgrade HA and then install latest
I saw that 0.112 had a different way to store cast devices
Now it is solved with spotcast 3.3.4
Ok, but i still have 0.111ā¦ is this a problem?
Donāt know. Try 3.3.4
Yes, it works!! Great, thanksā¦
Hi
Is it correct that the spotcast integration no longer exists in HACS? I cannot find it there.
So only manual installation possible?
Thanks to clarify;-)
Spotcast should exist as far as I know.
try the ā+ā sign
