Can we get Next and Previous for the music playback?

JurajNyiri commented

This is not something I am planning to add, you can use sidebar panel with media playback control cards on the right, or simething like vertical/horizontal stack cards.

Hi Juraj,
sure, I can add the media playback control to lovelace. But it's not available for the "media_player" device/entity.

When I try to call service:

service: media_player.media_next_track
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: media_player.plex_plex_cast_chromecast

nothing is happening.

Also for this nothing is happening:

service: media_player.media_next_track
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: media_player.kuchyna_google_home_mini

Am I missing something? Or the official Plex integration is missing this media control?

Thank you.

I would have to research it as I do not use this functionality. I would assume there must be some kind of media control via some card or service in Home Assistant, but I don't have any experience with it.
