Radio Browser - how to use?

Third party integrations
27

I used to use Sonos favorites in order to play my favorite radio stations. Now I have switched to Radio Browser for better flexibility. But this also resulted into the same problem:

It is a real pity that I cannot see the station’s name and logo anymore (e.g. in the excellent Sonos Card)! :frowning:

According to the above mentioned site (thank you @LimboIvo) it should be possible to add title and thumbnail as metadata just like this:

  - service: media_player.play_media
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.living_room
    data:
      media_content_id: media-source://radio_browser/96126f56-0601-11e8-ae97-52543be04c81
      media_content_type: audio/mpeg
    metadata:
      title: NPO Radio 1
      thumbnail: >-
        https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/NPO_Radio_1_logo_2014.svg/640px-NPO_Radio_1_logo_2014.svg.png
      media_class: music

In my case, it makes no difference whether I add those metadata or not. Has anyone managed to accomplish this? :pray:
