Feature request: Add possibility to add multiple media_player entities in a single card

As the title says, this is a feature request to to add multiple media_player entities in a single mini-media-player card.
The background of this feature request is the following:
When adding a media_player entity, which is a device with its IP address from the local network subnet, then everything works as it is intended to work.
So far, so good.

Now when I connect with the same device via VPN, the device obviously gets a different IP address from the VPN subnet and therefore it also would have to be set up as a different media_player entity.
So consequently it would be nice to have the possibility to add two entities to the mini-media-player card when it can have multiple IP addresses depending on network it is connecting from (locally or via VPN).
This way I would only have to set up a single mini-media-player card instead of two for the exactly same device and it would show up as a single device.

Thank you for considering!

The solution was easier than expected, just added the media_player entity via hostname instead of IP address and set two A-Records to the local DNS server.
Problem solved, dumb me, should have thought first about that :-)
