Frontier Silicon - media_title is hard to match against

[phuhl]

The problem

When tuning in a channel on an internet radio the media_title is the channel name plus " - " and the info text. The info text changes regularly. Hence, you cannot just match against the channel name in an automation. This basically makes channel-based automations impossible.

            info_name = await afsapi.get_play_name()
            info_text = await afsapi.get_play_text()

            self._attr_media_title = " - ".join(filter(None, [info_name, info_text]))

To fix this, there could be an additional attribute media_name that just has the value of info_name.

Such a thing as media_name does not exist for a media_player entity. cfr. https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/media_player/__init__.py to learn which properties exist.

You are welcome to create a PR which improves the current way the Frontier Silicon integration works, but I won't do any work other than straight up fixing bugs.

As this is not a bug report but an enhancement request, I will close this issue.
