New Interactive Features! ⭐
Group items with common attributes together, e.g., group Unwatched 
items first. The rest of the items can be collapsed/expanded:
title: TV
type: custom:upcoming-media-card
entity: sensor.recently_added_tv
image_style: fanart
collapse: flag=true
sort_by: numberBy setting collapse: flag=true, items not yet watched are prioritized and grouped at the top. You can expand/collapse the rest of the items. Alternatively, you can specify, I.E., collapse: 2 to collapse/expand everything after 2 items (regardless of what items are displayed).
Note: You can also leverage the new sort_by setting as a secondary sort method (season/episode) sort order.
Navigate directly to the respective TV episode, movie, game, etc. with a single click or touch! Made possible with new deep_link attribute (supported in the following integrations): sensor.plex_recently_added, sensor.radarr_upcoming_media, sensor.sonarr_upcoming_media, steam-wishlist-umc, epic_games_umc.
We can finally sort items by any attribute. sort_by: airdate will sort media items by their respective airdates. You can also reverse the sort order using sort_ascending: false.
Filter items by partial or full attribute value. filter: flag=true. Similar to collapse: setting, except discards the rest of the items.
To enable tooltips, use enable_tooltips: true. To change the default delay, use I.E., tooltip_delay: 2000 (default 750ms). For touchscreens, hold your finger down to see the tooltip. This feature was possible with the new summary attribute (supported in the following integrations): sensor.plex_recently_added, sensor.radarr_upcoming_media, sensor.sonarr_upcoming_media.
Activate with enable_transparency: true for a transparent gradient effect instead of the default opaque gradient background.

Requires a custom-component:
This card will only work if you've installed one of the custom-component's below to feed it.
Read through these two resources before posting issues to GitHub or the forums.
- Install the custom component by following it's instructions.
- Install this card by copying
upcoming-media-card.jsto yourwww/custom-lovelace/folder. If you're copy/pasting the code always copy from raw files on github (button on top right when viewing code). - Include it in its own folder like so:
www/custom-lovelace/upcoming-media-card/upcoming-media-card.js
This goes into ui-lovelace.yaml under "resources:"
resources:
- url: /local/custom-lovelace/upcoming-media-card/upcoming-media-card.js?v=0.1.1
type: js
This goes into one of your views under "cards:" in the same file
- type: custom:upcoming-media-card
entity: sensor.sonarr_upcoming_media
If you're not updating using tracker-card and/or custom-updater be sure that you are adding to a version number at the end of your lovelace resources when you update your cards, like so:
resources:
- url: /local/custom-lovelace/upcoming-media-card/upcoming-media-card.js?v=0.1.2
type: js
You may need to have javascript_version: latest in your configuration.yaml under frontend:.
This card has many customization options, but none are required to use the card. The card is fully functional with minimal configuration, like the installation example above.

You can build your own strings for each line of text, including title by using keywords. Each keyword is replaced with its relevant content, listed below. Encase this option in quotes.
| KEYWORD | AVAILABILITY | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| $title | All | Item's title |
| $release | All | A formatted version of the release time from the component. Particularly helpful for displaying different kinds of releases. Radarr for instance needs to distinguish between theater releases and physical releases. Radarr's release changes dynamically and is "In Theaters $day, $date" if theater release and more than a week away or "Available $day" if physical release and within a week. |
| $episode | TV Only | Episode Title |
| $number | TV Only | Season and episode number "S01E05" |
| $genres | All | List of genres |
| $rating | All | Rating of episode, source depends on component |
| $studio | All | Production Studio |
| $price | Games | Price of games meant for "Steam Wishlist UMC" and "Epic Games UMC" integrations |
| $day | All | Day of "release" (release date, download date, etc.) depending on component. This item changes from long form if within a week "Monday" to short form "Mon" if further than a week. |
| $date | All | Date of release or download, etc., depending on component. Formatted with "date" in config. |
| $time | All* | Time of release or download. * Movies generally dont have a time for release. |
| $aired | Plex | Date that the media item originally aired. |
| $album | Accomodate music-related integrations such as Lidarr Upcoming Media integration. | |
| $artist | Accomodate music-related integrations such as Lidarr Upcoming Media integration. | |
| $runtime | All | Displays runtime as either "01:23" for > an hour and "23 min" otherwise. |
| $empty | All | Displays line as empty space. Useful to create a break in the lines that can be sized. |
You can add in custom text to your string, only keywords are replaced. As an example you could add this to your config line1_text: 'Runtime: $runtime' to have line one display as "Runtime: 01:30". You can use as many keywords in your string as you like, you're only limited by what will fit. In some cases a keyword can return nothing, like when using radarr and a movie is in theaters. Occasionally not all info has been released yet, causing something like runtime to be empty. This isn't a problem when it's the only keyword in a line as the card just hides the line, but it can be an issue when you're using multiple keywords in a line. In this case you can use a hyphen to seperate the them. line1_text: 'Rating: $rating - Runtime: $runtime - $number' will display as "Rating: ★ 7.1 - Runtime: 01:23 - S01E09" when all are available or "Rating: ★ 7.1 - S01E09" if runtime is not.
If you'd like to make your own component to feed the upcoming media card:
- Component needs an attribute named "data" that contains a JSON string or OBJ.
- The first item in your JSON must contain these keys to set your defaults:
title_default,line1_default,line2_default,line3_default,line4_default, andicon. The default text contents are set exactly like the card's text content config and use the same keywords. The default icon takes an mdi iconmdi:arrow-down. - Each item must contain an 'airdate', if none exists the item is skipped. This and a poster image are the only required items.
- If an included item is null it needs to be an empty string in the JSON
''. - Items should be in descending order according to 'airdate'.
- Be aware that the card strips parentheses and anything contained in them. This is to remove things like (US). Since we can see the art for the show/movie there is no need for that info.
| KEY | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| airdate | Must be UTC ISO 8601 format. Example 2018-10-25T01:00:00Z. This is how the card creates date, day, and time. Doesn't have to be air date, just a date associated with the item. It could be download date for example. |
| title | Item's title |
| release | This is a formatted version of the release time from the component. Particularly helpful for displaying different kinds of releases. Radarr for instance needs to distinguish between theater releases and physical releases, so 'release' is changed dynamically by the component and is "In Theaters $day, $date" if theater release and more than a week away or "Available $day" if physical release and within a week. |
| episode | Episode Title |
| number | Season and episode number "S01E05" |
| season_num | Season number only |

Please inform me if you create one and I'll add it to the list.
Include what your components defaults are in the components readme.
If you need special styling or edits to the card to accomidate your component, just ask or submit a PR.
Thanks!
