Play music / radio station on Freebox Player (Devialet)

n2xt · October 4, 2024, 1:27pm

Hi folks!

First of all, please accept my sincere apologies if my questions are quite trivial, I’m a Home Assistant n00b coming from Jeedom
On the overall, I’ve already achieved quite a lot within Home Assistant (automations, ZWave peripherals, etc.) and I’m already satisfied.

My issue

I’d like to use Home Assistant to play music and radio stations on my Freebox Player Devialet located in my living room. I’ve tried manually (through Medias → Radio Browser → choose a radio station [RTL2 or France Info]) as well as through automations with the same result: I hear a crackling noise, like when you loose the radio signal within a car.
I also have this behaviour when I try to use Music Assistant to play MP3 files or Spotify.
What puzzled me at first was that Home Assistant immediately detected my player as an “Apple TV”. Trying to broadcast to this device result in the crackling noise.
I’ve tried to disable the AirPlay integration, and add my player as a DLNA Digital Media Renderer with the proper XML configuration, and the player appears as unavailable.

Can somebody please help me here? Thanks a lot in advance!
