#### Basic card
```yaml
type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.kitchen_speakers
```#### Compact card
Setting either `volume` and/or `controls` to `true` in the `hide` option object will render the player as a single row.```yaml
type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.example
icon: mdi:spotify
artwork: cover
hide:
volume: true
source: true
power_state: false
```#### Card with media shortcuts
You can specify media shortcuts through the `shortcuts` option, either as a list or as buttons or why not both?```yaml
- entity: media_player.spotify
type: custom:mini-media-player
artwork: cover
source: icon
hide:
volume: true
shortcuts:
columns: 4 # Max buttons per row
buttons:
# Start predefined playlist
- icon: mdi:cat
type: playlist
id: spotify:user:XXXXXXX:playlist:37i9dQZF1DZ06evO2O09Hg # Where XXXXXXX is your User ID
# Change the source to bathroom
- icon: mdi:dog
type: source
id: Bathroom
# Trigger script
- icon: mdi:dog
type: script
id: script.script_name
# Trigger custom service
- name: Crooners Playlist
type: service
id: spotcast.start
data:
entity_id: media_player.googlehome1234
uri: spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX9XiAcF7t1s5... # etc.
```
**Tip**:
If you don't have Sonos, but want just a bit more control over playlists and so, a simple solution is to use the `type: service`-option, to trigger the`spotcast.start`-service.Remember to add the [required data](https://github.com/fondberg/spotcast#call-the-service), for spotcast to work. Also, kindly note that the [spotcast](https://github.com/fondberg/spotcast) custom component is required, for this to work. It's available in HACS.
#### Grouped cards
Set the `group` option to `true` when nesting mini media player cards inside other cards that already have margins/paddings.```yaml
type: entities
entities:
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.multiroom_player
group: true
source: icon
info: short
hide:
volume: true
power: true
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.kitchen_speakers
group: true
hide:
controls: true
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.bathroom_speakers
group: true
hide:
controls: true
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.bedroom_speakers
group: true
hide:
controls: true
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.patio_speakers
group: true
hide:
controls: true
```#### Stacked cards
By using vertical and horizontal stacks, you can achieve many different setups.```yaml
- type: horizontal-stack
cards:
- entity: media_player.tv_livingroom
type: custom:mini-media-player
info: short
artwork: cover
hide:
mute: true
icon: true
power_state: false
- entity: media_player.tv_bedroom
type: custom:mini-media-player
info: short
artwork: cover
hide:
mute: true
icon: true
power_state: false
- type: horizontal-stack
cards:
- entity: media_player.cc_patio
type: custom:mini-media-player
hide:
icon: true
- entity: media_player.cc_kitchen
type: custom:mini-media-player
hide:
icon: true
- entity: media_player.cc_bath
type: custom:mini-media-player
hide:
icon: true
```#### Speaker group management
Specify all your speaker entities in a list under the option `speaker_group` -> `entities`. They obviously need to be of the same platform.* The card does only allow changes to be made to groups where the entity of the card is the coordinator/master speaker.
* Checking a speakers in the list will make it join the group of the card entity. (*`media_player.sonos_office`* in the example below).
* Unchecking a speaker in the list will remove it from any group it's a part of.```yaml
type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.sonos_office
hide:
power: true
icon: true
source: true
speaker_group:
platform: sonos
show_group_count: true
entities:
- entity_id: media_player.sonos_office
name: Sonos Office
- entity_id: media_player.sonos_livingroom
name: Sonos Livingroom
- entity_id: media_player.sonos_kitchen
name: Sonos Kitchen
- entity_id: media_player.sonos_bathroom
name: Sonos Bathroom
- entity_id: media_player.sonos_bedroom
name: Sonos Bedroom
```If you are planning to use the `speaker_group` option in several cards, creating a separate yaml file for the list is highly recommended, this will result in a less cluttered `ui-lovelace.yaml` and also make the list easier to manage and maintain.
You then simply reference the file containing the list using `entities: !include filename.yaml` for every occurrence of `entities` in your `ui-lovelace.yaml`.This is however only possible when you have lovelace mode set to yaml in your HA configuration, see [Lovelace YAML mode](https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/) for more info.
## Development

```console
$ git clone https://github.com/kalkih/mini-media-player.git
```**Add a reference to the card in your `ui-lovelace.yaml`.**
```yaml
resources:
- url: /local/mini-media-player/dist/mini-media-player-bundle.js
type: module
```### Instructions
*Requires `nodejs` & `npm`*
1. Move into the `mini-media-player` repo, checkout the *dev* branch & install dependencies.
```console
$ cd mini-media-player && git checkout dev && npm install
```2. Make changes to the source
3. Build the source by running
```console
$ npm run build
```4. Refresh the browser to see changes
*Make sure cache is cleared or disabled*
5. *(Optional)* Watch the source and automatically rebuild on save
```console
$ npm run watch
```*The new `mini-media-player-bundle.js` will be build and ready inside `/dist`.*
## Getting errors?
Make sure you have `javascript_version: latest` in your `configuration.yaml` under `frontend:`.Make sure you have the latest version of `mini-media-player-bundle.js`.
If you have issues after updating the card, try clearing your browsers cache or restart Home Assistant.
If you are getting "Custom element doesn't exist: mini-media-player" or running older browsers try replacing `type: module` with `type: js` in your resource reference, like below.
```yaml
resources:
- url: ...
type: js
