"Now Playing"

Feedback

Is there a way of extracting the track/artist metadate in a text form so that I'm able to send to an WS LED Matrix? Current automation that displays only "Playing", "Paused", "Idle" etc. shown below to show the use case.

`alias: Linn Media Player description: "" trigger:

• platform: state entity_id:
  • media_player.openhome_uuid_4c494e4e_0026_0f21_c4be_01311712013f
  • media_player.linn_dining_room_upnp_av not_to:
  • unknown
  • unavailable condition: [] action:

Hi, you should be able to extract the artist and title from the media player attributes. For example:

{{ state_attr('media_player.openhome_uuid_4c494e4e_0026_0f21_e768_01357060013f', 'media_title' ) }}
{{ state_attr('media_player.openhome_uuid_4c494e4e_0026_0f21_e768_01357060013f', 'media_artist' ) }}
