A single or double-width media player tile takes Display -> Album cover on a Guition: the cover of what plays in the icon's place, like Home Assistant's own tile. It rides in the page's strip of 0.2.91: the request and the answer are the same, a media player is simply among the tiles. The app fetches a player's picture only when its address changes; a page with a camera loads at the camera's pace with the cover reused, a page of media tiles alone loads once, and a new track (the picture's mark in the state, part of the page's wish) asks again at once. A player without a picture keeps its icon and is not asked for; the double-width tile keeps its controls; the tile over the whole page keeps the card's big cover. Firmware 0.2.78. Host harness 31 checks (docs/TEST_RESULTS_0292.md). CYD firmware 1,633,760 B, 89.0 %. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Test results app 0.2.92 / firmware 0.2.78 (2026-09-20)
|
||
|
||
One ask, right after 0.2.91: the album cover on a media player tile, the way Home Assistant's own tile shows it, on the
|
||
same road as the live camera pictures. "Even via dezelfde endpoint, toch?" Yes.
|
||
|
||
## What changed, and why it is small
|
||
|
||
- **The strip takes media players.** The page's request (`tiles`, `size`, `bg`) and the answer (op `camera`,
|
||
`t: "live"`) are the same as in 0.2.91; a media player tile with `display: cover` is simply among the tiles. The
|
||
app tells the two apart by domain: a camera gets a snapshot at its pace, a media player its `entity_picture`,
|
||
fetched again only when that address changes (the same fetch as the media card's cover, `CameraFeed.cover_raw`).
|
||
- **Two clocks in one download.** The screen loads the strip at the pace of its fastest camera; the app decides per
|
||
entity whether anything new is fetched from Home Assistant. A page with a 15 s camera and a Sonos loads its strip
|
||
every 15 s with the cover reused; a page of media tiles alone has no clock and loads once. A new track changes the
|
||
picture's mark in the player's state, which is part of the page's wish, so the screen asks again at once.
|
||
- **Only players with a picture ask.** A radio station or a player that is off has no `entity_picture`; such a tile is
|
||
not in the request and keeps its icon. The tile over the whole page keeps the card's big cover through the older
|
||
route; a double-width tile keeps its controls (the cover is the standard layout with a picture).
|
||
|
||
## Host harness (Mac, host build of the Guition package, real add-on code)
|
||
|
||
`live_host.py` of 0.2.91 with a Sonos tile (cover) on the camera page and a page of two media tiles (a wide one with
|
||
the volume control and a radio without a picture); 31 checks, all passing:
|
||
|
||
- page 1 asks for its three live tiles and the Sonos together, with the four colours; the strip loads and every tile
|
||
shows its own square (offsets 0, −54, −108, −162), the Sonos' cover where its icon was;
|
||
- the 15 s pace, the 30 s camera fetched every other load, the camera full screen and a card pausing the strip, a
|
||
page turn and dark mode asking again: as in 0.2.91, now with the media tile in the list;
|
||
- the page of media tiles asks for the one player with a picture only, shows its cover beside the volume slider
|
||
while the radio keeps its icon, loads once (no load in 17 s), and asks again the moment the player's picture
|
||
address changes, loading the strip once more;
|
||
- a player without a picture, a media tile that shows its icon and a media tile over the whole page are not in the
|
||
strip; the full-page tile still asks for its own cover.
|
||
|
||
Found on the way: the harness first expected the radio in the request; the firmware leaves a player without a
|
||
picture out, which is the better answer (no request for nothing).
|
||
|
||
## Bench Guition (192.168.146.136, firmware 0.2.78 from this tree over OTA, local add-on 0.2.92 on the Yellow)
|
||
|
||
- The Sonos in the living room (single tile, Display → Album cover) on page 1: as long as every Sonos played "TV"
|
||
(no `entity_picture`) the tile kept its icon and the screen asked for nothing. The moment a track with art started,
|
||
the state's picture mark reached the screen, the page asked for its strip (`Live pictures of
|
||
media_player.sonos_woonkamer on Guition Wallbox` in the add-on's log) and the tile showed the cover in the icon's
|
||
place (`capture_ui.py`, dark mode). A tap opened the media card with its big cover as before (69 KB, the older
|
||
route; its 63-150 ms loop warnings while decoding are the same as in 0.2.77). Camera.max and Buienradar keep their
|
||
live pictures beside it on page 8.
|
||
|
||
## Builds
