# mini-media-player

> mini-media-player is a dashboard card for Home Assistant. It has 1.7k GitHub stars and was last updated June 8, 2026.

mini-media-player is a dashboard card that shows a compact, customizable media player in the Home Assistant Lovelace UI. It lists supported platforms including Sonos, SoundTouch, MusicCast, Linkplay and HEOS, with some features not yet supported on a few of them. Options cover a text-to-speech section, speaker group management, and shortcuts to media, scripts or services shown as a list or as buttons. A hide option can reduce the player to a single row, and theme variables change its appearance using any CSS color value. It can be nested in other cards with a group option, or placed inside vertical and horizontal stacks. It is installed through the Marketplace, or manually by adding the bundled JavaScript file as a dashboard resource.
