I’m sharing a small widget I just (re-)designed to control my multiroom system, trying to make it as generic as possible:
It doesn’t make any assumptions about your items, so you have to configure them individually with the props. Only the artist, track and player control item are required;
The track progress/track duration time are notably available with the Spotify binding, if you’re looking for them;
The icons on the bottom left will appear as you specify the items;
The “volume” icon will replace the controls by a slider to adjust the volume;
The “multiroom” icon will bring up the command options with the standard action sheet - so make sure the item you specify has some.
I especially like the the exchange mechanic of the player-controls with the volume slider - it still retains a compact widget then.
I also recognized that it might be beneficial to use more generic elements as you don’t have to mess around too much with all the custom classes and styles then to make it work in the different themes.

can you explain the multiroom icon.
I use some sort of snapcast to control all the volumes across my place but probably need to set it up correctly to your widget.
Yeah, it’s not “really” multiroom, it’s just that I have an item with rules reacting to it, which will configure some preset links between the rooms… I always have the same music source, I just choose in which room it plays. There’s no individual volume control, I have a page dedicated to that.
Note that you can modify the widget and repurpose this button to something else, like open a popup with playlist/radio buttons…
@Mike_s1 In my case that would be an Image item linked to a spotify:player:<myaccount>:albumImage channel
but it’s sort of a shortcut since while I use Spotify often as my source it’s not always the case. I have a Yamaha multiroom setup but the Yamaha Receiver binding for instance, AFAIK, doesn’t expose proper Image channels unfortunately, which could be used with this widget.
