forked-daapd-card's Issues

Outputs not showing

Thanks so much for creating this card! I've been using a combination of media player card, switches, rest sensors and automations to control volume of various speakers from Home Assistant front end.

From the readme, I understood that if I do not specify an array of speaker IDs, then it should render all the available speakers in the card. However, I'm not seeing this - when I do not provide a list of speaker IDs, I get no speakers showing in the card. I know the speakers are there and working, as my older integration still exists in lovelace and I can still control speakers using my much-less-reliable method.

Availability in HACS

Can you make this card available in HACS?

Allow setting Name of output

I have multiple output devices in the same room and they show up like this:

It would be nice if I could change the name of them so I don't have to remember which one Living Room (2) is.

Merging Cards

Hi there,

First of all, thanks so much for your work on this card and the mini-media-player. They are both awesome!

I was curious if you could recommend the best way to combine the two cards? Right now I am using them both in a vertical stack and it works, but it could be better. The mini-media-player provides a number of things the forked doesn't - the artwork, and the ability to select playlist a playlist. But the key thing the forked card has is the outputs and ability to control whole house audio which is great. I would like to have the mini player on top, and then just the outputs below. Right now I essentially have two players on top of each other in order to get the outputs.

`type: vertical-stack
title: Music
cards:

• type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
  entity: media_player.forked_daapd_server
  artwork: cover
  source: icon
  name: Now Playing
  hide:
  shuffle: false
  group: false
  volume_stateless: false
  info: scroll
• type: 'custom:forked-daapd-card'
  entity: media_player.forked_daapd_server
  ip: 192.168.168.168
  name: Now Playing
  outputs:
  • '24916375876'`

custom element doesn't exist

I have your card configured as described but unfortunately I get Customer element does not exist. Since it's v0.0.1 - is this expected to work already?

would be awesome!

Artwork

Is it possible for this card to show album art like the media-control card does?

Missing control

Thank you for this custom card.

It seems that the control switches and buttons are missing in my setup; I'm only seeing the volume sliders.
The different outputs respond correctly when they are switched on/off from forked-daapd's interface, however the switches to do so from the card itself are missing.

It looks like the section itself is being rendered (since the slider is being displayed, but other components are not. Looking at the code, I believe this has something to do with using the custom elements (ha-switch, ha-icon-button etc.) in the templates.

Any help would be appreciated.
HA version: core-2021.5.4

Missing info on card

Hi,

I implemnted your forked-daapd Lovelace card, but it seems to miss some info/functions (see screenshot)

I run the the latest version of all related software....

Thanks,
