Configuration Options

Most of the configuration of the card can be done via the Card Editor UI, though there are a few options that must be configured manually. The options documented below will indicate how they can be edited (manual or UI); assume UI editing is available unless otherwise specified.

There are a few assumptions to be made when perusing this document:

You should be familiar with how to edit (and possibly create) an HA dashboard.
You should be familiar with how to add a new card using the UI card-picker, or how to configure a dashboard card manually via YAML.
The SpotifyPlus integration is installed, configured, and up to date.

Use the following index to get to where you want to be.

Card Picker

Use the standard Home Assistant card picker to add the card to the dashboard. Click on the "By Card" search option, and narrow the list of cards by typing "Spotify" in the search cards entry field.

The card picker tile will look like this:

Click on the Custom: SpotifyPlus Card entry to add the card to your dashboard, and enter the configuration editor to start configuring the card. By default, all card sections will be enabled.

Start by selecting the Media Player Entity Id of the SpotifyPlus media player that is configured. If the media player list is empty, then it denotes there is no SpotifyPlus Media Player(s) configured, OR that none is active / enabled. Please refer to the SpotifyPlus integration wiki for instructions on how to install and configure the SpotifyPlus media player(s).

General Options

These options control the overall look and feel of the card.

Omit this parameter to not define any user presets in a file.

Use this option if you wish to share your presets among multiple card definitions.

I suggest that you place this file in your HA configration directory (e.g. where configuration.yaml resides) www folder (e.g. /config/www/soundtouchplus/userpresets.json). Note that you can create the www folder if it does not exist. Also note that you must use the /local/ prefix in lieu of the /config/www/ prefix. It's weird I know, but it's the way HA looks for things in the local file system under the www folder.

YAML Example
Loads user presets from the /config/www/soundtouchplus/userpresets.json location. Note the prefix use of /local/ instead of /config/www/.

userPresetsFile: /local/soundtouchplus/userpresets.json

JSON File Example
The following tries to document the various Spotify media types that are available to play content from: playlist, artist, album, track, show (podcast), show episode, audiobook, and audiobook episode (chapter).

Manual Configuration Options

These options are configured manually by clicking on the Show Code Editor button on the card editor form.

`customImageUrls`

Collection of custom imageUrl's that can be displayed in various media browser displays. This allows the user to override the image that is supplied by the media player service, as well as provide imageUrl's for items that do not contain an image.

type: array[title: imageurl]
required: false
default: none

Some things to keep in mind when adding entries:

imageUrl titles are CaSe-SeNsItIvE.
imageUrl titles can contain special characters, but they are removed under the covers for the comparison process.
you can use "local" references for the imageUrl; any spaces in the filename are replaced with "%20".
you can use home assistant brands for the imageUrl; "logo.png" reference is replaced with "icon.png".
the "default" imageUrl title is used to supply an imageUrl for items that do not have an image.
I would suggest creating a special directory under the HA configuration directory www folder for these custom images - e.g. <configuration directory/www/images/spotifyplus_card_customimages. The images in this location can then be easily referenced using the /local/images/spotifyplus_card_customimages/filename.jpg syntax in the configuration editor.

The value array is comprised of title:value sub-items:

title is the media title to match on, or one of the special title values (see below). Any special characters in the title are removed before comparison. For example, if the media title is LiGhT rAiLs *ੈ✩‧₊˚ you would specify LiGhT rAiLs for the title value.
imageurl is the url path to the cover art image. This can reside in the config\www\ folder, can be a Home Assistant Brands icon, or a direct url to an image hosted on the web. For images found in the /config/www/..., just use a prefix of /local/... (see example below).

YAML Example
Provide custom images for the following media titles:

"My Private Playlist" - image in the Home Assistant config www folder location (e.g. /config/www/images/spotifyplus_card_customimages/my_private_playlist.png).
"Daily Mix 1" - uses Home Assistant Brands repository image for SpotifyPlus (e.g. Spotify logo).
"Daily Mix 2" - uses an external CDN url to the image (e.g. https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b2734bfd0e91bf806bc73d736cfd).

customImageUrls:
  My Private Playlist: /local/images/spotifyplus_card_customimages/logo_spotify.png
  Daily Mix 1: https://brands.home-assistant.io/spotifyplus/icon.png
  Daily Mix 2: https://brands.home-assistant.io/spotifyplus/icon.png

The following special customImageUrls titles are also available:

customImageUrls - default

Specifies the media browser image to display when no image could be resolved. This will apply to all sections, including the Player background image if one could not be resolved. If a default custom image url is not specified, then a blank image is rendered.

YAML Example
```
customImageUrls:
  default: /local/images/spotifyplus_card_customimages/default.png
```
How it Looks
customImageUrls - playerBackground

Specifies the Player section background image to use when the player is powered on. This will override the entity_picture attribute of the media player; the background image will remain constant, and will not change as track / episodes change.

YAML Example
```
customImageUrls:
  playerBackground: /local/images/spotifyplus_card_customimages/playerBackground.jpg
```
How it Looks
customImageUrls - playerOffBackground

Specifies the Player section background image to use when the player is powered off.

YAML Example
```
customImageUrls:
  playerOffBackground: /local/images/spotifyplus_card_customimages/playerBackground.jpg
```
