Description

It would be useful to be able to remap buttons for media player entities.

Use case: I have a media player defined in Home Assistant (a universal media player mixing multiple things together) but I'd like to be able to run actions with unused buttons on the remote, not just vol up/down/prev/next/mute/power.

Additional context

No response

The media player entity just has a limited set of commands. Depending on what your actions should do it will probably be easier to just create an activity where you can already map a command to any button. You could also remap the media player commands on the home assistant side. At least this works for another integration I am using. But then you are currently still limited to the set of commands the entity supports.
