Feature Request: Small Media-player

[sstefanowski]

Hello, I'm using Banner-Cards on my status screen when I display entities currently in used (in "on" or "playing" state) - for this purpose I use a lot of "when" clauses - it works perfectly.

I think the only thing that has very little customization options is... the look of media-player. For this purpose, I'd like to display just small media-player with regular attribute display (single cell instead of full-width of a row) and I guess this is not possible now. Am I right?

Can you think about enriching customization options for media-players? Anyway... Thanks for the great work done so far... I really appreciate it :)

I'd like to be able to specify custom entity types in general which would solve this issue.

Not possible indee @sstefanowski . I guess what you are suggesting @niemyjski is to allow other lovelace cards to be used when rendering an entity? So that banner-card more or less becomes a layout solution? I'm not sure how many other cards it would work well with, but its an interesting idea.

As for simply allowing some customisation options on media players it would be simple to make the different elements toggleable like

entity: media_player.speaker
elements:
  title: true
  next: true
  back: true
  play: true
