I've been working on a custom media player card and wanted to share it with you all. It's designed to feel native and polished on iPhone dashboards.
What it does:
Apple-inspired dark theme with fully customisable accent colours.
Toggle between a full expanded view with album art and a compact mini player.
Auto-switches to whichever device starts playing.
Full media controls — play/pause, skip, shuffle, repeat, and seek.
Volume slider or +/− buttons, with optional routing to a separate volume entity.
Mute toggle — tap the volume badge to instantly mute/unmute (doesn’t work with some older devices).
Built-in Apple TV remote with directional pad, Back, Home, Apps and Power.
Music Assistant integration — auto-detected, with a full library browser (Playlists, Artists, Albums, Tracks, Radio, Favourites, Search).
Album artwork with smart fallback icons.
Full visual editor — no YAML required.
Drag-and-drop entity reordering in the editor, works on mobile too.
Happy to answer any questions, and open to suggestions.
The Music Assistant mini browser was inspired by and adapted from the work of jianyu-li — thanks for the excellent MA mini browser.
