General MusicAssistant media_player entity

[samuelspagl]

Hello Music-Assistant team,

your project is very very cool. The integration into HomeAssistant provides me with media_players for the different players, which is cool, but I would also be interested in an media_player entity of the "main" player.

With "main" player I mean, the virtual player in MusicAssistant that streams to the players.

I would love to see capabilities similar to the Sonos Lovelace card, which would be a huge advantage for me.

I would also be open to help developing such a feature, but love to hear your opinions.

Best Samuel

I don’t understand what you mean by main player. MA supports a different queue for every player with those queues playing simultaneously

Thanks for the fast response! Ah thats good to know, because I thoughts came from the WebUI. Where you have this one player-bar, which seemed to be a "main" player casting to the other speakers.

But if I misunderstood this, then my question is probably obsolete :)

Yeah so those player controls are currently going to control your Wohnzimmer player. If you press on Wohnzimmer the player list will pop up and you can select a different speaker and then the controls will control that one

Yep so I misunderstood it completely. Then my question also doesn't make any sense and this can be closed from my point of view.
