Unable to filter media_player domain

looks as though i can’t set my card type to anything like ‘media-control’ or ‘custom:mini-media-player’ because

mini-media-player Error: Specify an entity from within the media_player domain.

I know that the error associates itself with card-tools but i think it just may be returning zero results from the filter in auto-entries. thus… opening the issue on this repo and not on card-tools.

Thanks for your help! love all the work you’ve put into lovelace.

btw here is my lovelace card:

type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
  type: media-control
filter:
  include:
    - domain: media_player

Auto-entities works by populating the entities: field of the supplied card. Media-control doesn’t have an entities: field, but rather an entity: field, so it won’t work.

Auto-entities can’t be used to create several cards at this point.

I have managed to make a workaround for this by using entities as type on the wrapper card and by adding a type as option (which will be appended on the card config for each entity):

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  title: Media
  show_header_toggle: false
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: "media_player.*"
      options:
        type: custom:mini-media-player
        artwork: cover
  exlude:
    - state: "unavailable"
