Mini-media-player: Allow removing current player from speaker_group

[jjlawren]

I'm unsure if this applies to all groupable players, but I'm using Sonos speakers. The current functionality doesn't allow to remove the 'master' from a speaker_group, yet this is possible via the sonos.unjoin service. Would it be possible to remove this restriction?

Hello,
I opted to restrict this since I am unsure if all current and future supported platforms can handle removing the master from an existing group, this would require the component/platform to automatically reassign a new master e.t.c.

Right now you can only "ungroup" if you wish to leave with the master right?

This is something we possibly could change, what happens when you do a service call and unjoin with the master? Will a new master be assigned and the playback continue?

[jjlawren]

I can only comment for Sonos. The master is removed from the group and stops playing. The remaining speakers automatically choose a new master and playback continues on those uninterrupted.

Alright, thanks for the info!

In the next release there will be a "leave" button which you can use if you wish to leave the group with the master.

@kalkih do you have a plan to publish a new release soon?

[kalkih]

Sure, thanks for reminding me, will do a new release tonight.

[kalkih]

New release out! Thanks!

@kalkih I've upgraded but the button does not show for my grouped Sonos speakers. I've tested on multiple apps/browsers to ensure it wasn't a cache issue.

Are you running HACS?
I've had several (10+) users reporting issues with updating card through HACS at the moment, HACS will show that the latest version is installed but that is not always true.
Probably related to https://github.com/hacs/integration/issues/944.
Please try restarting HA, installing the card manually.

[jjlawren]

Yep, that was it. Luckily, just choosing the HACS 'reinstall' option on this specific card fixed it without needing to restart or manually intervene.

Sorry for the false alarm, new feature works great!

Awesome, Thanks for the feedback!
