Can you try this new release?

It seems to be working on a different browser aka Safari but still looks the same on Arc Browser, I've cleared and disabled the cache a million times so not sure how to fix it at this point tbh.

Looks like a reinstall fixed it on my browser! Thanks.

Now just trying to figure out how to get the media browser to show up.

That looks strange, please share your card config. It should look like this:

That was before I figured out how to add media, but now I added the radio browser, and soon will add YouTube music. I also removed the "Grouping" tab because grouping doesn't work with Google cast speakers.

Btw it seems that folders don't work in the card, would be a good update, and also would be nice if we could add media sources via the UI instead of YAML.

I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood it. That section only supports favourites. Nothing else. The rest of the media can only be found through the “browse media” button.

Is there any way how to config "own" favourites? Sthg like radio presets?
