+### Identifying a media source from the media browser
+
+If you wish to make use of the `media-source://` URI for an action, and the media is already available in the media browser (either as locally stored on the Home Assistant machine, or mapped using network storage) the following steps can help to determine the `media-source` uri.
+
+1. Select **Media** in the sidebar.
+2. Navigate to the folder containing the media you wish to play.\
+  *In this example, we will go **My media** > **NAS_Media**. This folder is a network share containing a collection of .mp3 files. One of which is named `my-music.mp3`.*
+3. Copy the current URL from the URL bar.\
+  *for example: `https://home-assistant.local/media-browser/browser/app%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fmedia_source/%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fmedia_source%2Flocal%2FNAS_Media`*
+4. Search for an online URL Decoder, paste in the copied text and decode.\
+  *`https://home-assistant.local/media-browser/browser/app,media-source://media_source/,media-source://media_source/local/NAS_Media`*
+
+The last media source, in this case `media-source://media_source/local/NAS_Media` makes up the first part of the path, with the complete path being:
+`media-source://media_source/local/NAS_Media/my-music.mp3`
