Touchy - Touch friendly media player card (combination of cards)

Hi. How can i do to make this card fit in a swiper card? because of the multiple button card entity, it will not work.

Thxs

EDIT: Ok, i managed to do it by setting all the button card inside a picture element

How you make this ? Can you config delen whit me ?

Thank you for sharing !
i would like to test but the link for your overlay svg is dead. Can you post a new link please ?
thanks

I updated the link. Btw: I donā€™t get notifications with new responses, only when mentioned directly.

Thanks you very much !

Hey @ASNNetworks
Love you media card.
I have implemented it in Mattiasā€™s homekits beautiful concept but I get errors. Iā€™m thinking itā€™s styling errors?
The music works though and the cover art is shown.

This is the code:

      - type: grid
        title: Media
        view_layout:
          grid-area: media
        columns: 1
        cards:
          - type: custom:swipe-card
            start_card: 1
            parameters:
              roundLengths: true
              effect: coverflow
              speed: 650
              spaceBetween: 20
              threshold: 7
              coverflowEffect:
                rotate: 80
                depth: 300
            cards:

              - type: horizontal-stack
                cards:
                  - type: picture-elements
                    image: 'local/tablet/overlay.svg'

Would you be able to help me out, trying to figure things out?

Iā€™m also using this in my config:

media_player:
  - platform: universal
    name: media_player.lesboutin
    children:
      - media_player.bathroom_sonos
      - media_player.livingroom_sonos
      - media_player.onkyo_tx_nr686_f0935c_2
      - media_player.spotify_cheznath

And Iā€™m using your script too. But Iā€™m guessing Iā€™m missing something with iftt.

alias: add_to_playlist_sonos
sequence:
  - service: ifttt.trigger
    data_template:
      event: add_to_playlist
      value1: '{{ states.media_player.lesboutin.attributes.media_title }}'
      value2: '{{ states.media_player.lesboutin.attributes.media_artist }}'
mode: single

Thanks. And I realize itā€™s been a while for you. :joy:
No problem if you canā€™t bother.
Thanks again

EDIT: Yes, I do have card-mod, mini media player and button card. also using your overlay.svg in the correct folder.

Oh, when music is playing it look the same.

How can I not have the code in there? And bringing down the buttons?

@xADDRx
Do you remember what you did to bring those buttons down?

Iā€™m getting placesā€¦ I got the damn overlay to now be seen. Now, what is that css text in the button? How can I take that out?

So Iā€™m guessing this needs to be re written with card_mod 3 changes.
Iā€™ll try and see if I can do that? But I doubt it.

EDIT: I got tit working.
I just switched - type: 'custom:mod-card' to

card_mod:

Hi, Iā€™ve been busy on holidays. Have you gotten everything working now? Yes, I changed the codes when card_mod was updated. I donā€™t visit this thread much, so havenā€™t updated the code on here.

@ASNNetworks Yes, itā€™s all working great.
I had one though. When nothing is playing, itā€™s blank right? Do you have any else going on while itā€™s blank? I mean, did you update it to show something else or you just see it blank?

Glad you got it working. I just updated the code in my post. Btw regarding the favorite/heart button: I used that prior when I used Spotcast and created a script using IFTTT. I switched all my audio to Logitech Media Server for a while now and ditched IFTTT. Currently itā€™s a non-functional button in my own setup.

When nothing is playing the card is blank, since there is no artwork. In my case all my media players are hidden. All my speakers have their own media card, which are all inside their own conditional card. So when a speaker is off, the specific media card is hidden. I also wrapped them all inside one swiper card, so I can easily swipe between media cards/speakers.

See in action: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Oh wow, thatā€™s cool. Something new I have to do nowā€¦ arghā€¦ haha. It just never ends it seems.
You wouldnā€™t happen to have your code on a github. :wink:
I know Mattias also did something like this, with conditions. I didnā€™t dwell into conditions yet.
On your code, the only thing that doesnā€™t work are the actions. For some reason, the three dot actions and the main whole button press action donā€™t work at all.

I have somewhat changed the code throughout time because I started using decluttering-card. But the three dots should open more-info. So make sure that service call is still correct. Same applies to the main play/pause button.

I believe browser_mod has been changed a few times as well, which changes the more_info command. I donā€™t use it as a more-info anymore myself. I think you can just set it as:

                    tap_action:
                      action: more-info

And get rid of browser_mod command there.

Regarding conditions: itā€™s very simple, the HA documentations explain the usage of that card very well: Conditional Card - Home Assistant

Example in your case:

type: conditional
conditions:
  - entity: media_player.media_player.lesboutin
    state_not: 'off'
  - entity: media_player.media_player.lesboutin
    state_not: unavailable
card:
  type: picture-elements
  image: 'local/tablet/overlay.svg'
  REST OF THE CODE OF THIS MEDIA CARD

This will hide the card if itā€™s either off or unavailable for some reason (like disconnected). When itā€™s playing, idle, paused etc it will show. You can change the conditions to what you see fit yourself.

UPDATED CARD V2: new fresh look with more control

Warning, since itā€™s inside a picture-element some features do not work properly, like changing sources or shortcut buttons because they expand the card, which is why I disabled those by default.

I updated my cardā€™s look and feel along with some more control buttons. I wanted to share the code with whoever is interested :slight_smile: I have switched over to decluttering-card a while back, so this is easier for others to copy as well.

Make sure you have button-card and decluttering-card installed and templates for both declared in the root of your lovelace yaml! All the control buttons are button-cards with actions. So you can change the icons and actions! Bonus: the volume up and down support hold action to keep increasing/decreasing volume! I want to also add hold_action to the skip/previous button so it will seek forward/backwards +10 seconds. But I still need to investigate to see what klind of template I can use.

Requirements

Button-card
Decluttering-card
Card-mod
Mini media player card
Overlay.svg (put this in your local folder (www/)

Also make sure you have these variables in your theme.yaml (you can ofcourse change them to whatever you want). If you use night and day themes, you can have auto-switching themes like my screenshots.

Then in your lovelace.yaml just use this code

Make sure you change it to your media_player entity. Of course you can insert these in other cards, like grid, vertical-stack, horizontal-stack, swipe-card etc.

type: 'custom:decluttering-card'
template: media_card_speaker
variables:
  - entity: media_player.kantoor_lms

Protip: if you want the card to be hidden when off and only show when playing/paused/idle, use it with conditional card, like this:

card: 
  type: 'custom:decluttering-card'
  template: media_card_speaker
  variables:
    - entity: media_player.kantoor_lms                      
conditions:
  - entity: media_player.kantoor_lms
    state_not: 'off'
  - entity: media_player.kantoor_lms
    state_not: unavailable
type: conditional

Great work this Iā€™m going to try it on my tablet of thatā€™s ok.
Although my wife only ever loads the same radio station on my devices all the time :laughing:

Feel free to use at how you like. You can also change stuff like icons, colors and actions easily by changing the decluttering en button templates.

Thanks Iā€™ve only just started using decluttering and button templates this week for something else can I use your code in the same Yaml file underneath what I already have it should I put them in a separate Yaml file.

Yes, for example:

If this is your button-card templates yaml file:

  steveukbuttontemplate:
    card:
      TEMPLATE

  music_card_speaker_button:
    card:
      TEMPLATE

Same applies to decluttering-card template yaml:

  steveukdeclutteringtemplate:
    card:
      TEMPLATE

  music_card_speaker:
    card:
      TEMPLATE

Thanks thought it was like that.
Iā€™m trying to copy and paste it over using my phone before I get home from workā€¦ Not the easiest of tasks on a mobile :laughing:

@ASNNetworks
Thanks added nicely to a dashboard iā€™m in the middle of setting up.
I have my theme set to add a thin black border around my cards which as you can see is making your card look odd ha haā€¦
Iā€™m just debating wether to remove the border from the theme or just search through your code to remove all the borders :thinking:
