The ``media_player`` domain includes all platforms that implement media player
functionality.
.. note::
ESPHome media players require Home Assistant 2022.6 or newer.
.. _config-media_player:
Base Media Player Configuration
-------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
media_player:
- platform: ...
name: "Media Player Name"
Configuration variables:
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the media player.
- **icon** (*Optional*, icon): Manually set the icon to use for the
media player in the frontend.
- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will
not be exposed to the frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an ``id`` without
a ``name`` will implicitly set this to true.
- **disabled_by_default** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, then this entity should not be added to any client's frontend,
(usually Home Assistant) without the user manually enabling it (via the Home Assistant UI).
Defaults to ``false``.
- **entity_category** (*Optional*, string): The category of the entity.
See https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/#generic-properties
for a list of available options. Set to ``""`` to remove the default entity category.
