# Maxi Media Player

> Maxi Media Player is a dashboard card for Home Assistant. It has 111 GitHub stars and was last updated September 30, 2026.

Maxi Media Player is a dashboard card for controlling one or several media players from the Home Assistant interface. It generalises the Sonos Card to work with any media player Home Assistant supports, though the players to use must be listed in the configuration instead of being discovered automatically. The card covers grouping and ungrouping speakers, individual volume control inside a group, a favorites section, shuffle and repeat, and a track progress bar. Sonos and Music Assistant users also get a play queue that can be viewed and rearranged, and Music Assistant adds a search section for tracks, artists, albums and playlists. Each section can be shown as its own card, so sections can sit side by side in a dashboard layout, and theme variables and a blurred artwork background change the look. It is configured through the visual editor or in YAML and is installed through HACS or by adding the file manually.
