Try another web browser, I have same issue with microsoft EDGE but work fine under Chrome and Firefox
same to me. Media player does not support browsing media\Odtwarzacz nie obsługuje przeglądania multimediów
tried on FF, Chrome and Edge
I was struggling with this for a long time as well, but now I have at least something working!
Here’s the code (this needs mini-media-player from HACS):
entities:

icon: mdi:radio

To get the content code like “4a097926-fed9-4d61-8ed0-bc8fcf66df83”, I go to https://www.radio-browser.info/ and find the station I like, open it, and then copy the code from URL.
It’s a tedious manual work, and the site is very slow and unresponsive at the time of writing, but I forced myself through.
Problem: it does not show if and what is playing now.

This is the radio stations URLs resource that I use. It is in Dutch (that I speak) but is easy enough for all to use.
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)! 
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? 
Edit: Please also see stale GitHub issue:

I think its image: not thumbnail:
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately not. Do you (or anybody else) have a working example?
Hi,
Based on browser_mod and the tips from Rouwette (see above), I’ve been able to create a working dashboard for playing selected internet radio stations. In addition I’m able to select the device I’m using for playing. This is how it looks like in the frontend:
After selecting the playback device, it’s just a matter to press a button to start playing the radio station.
Info on the radio stations can be found here: https://www.radio-browser.info/
In configuration.yaml I’ve added:
input_select:
radio_je:
name: Afspelen-Jan
options:
- Browser Macbook
- Iphone Jan
- Ipad Jee
icon: mdi:radio
In browser_mod you have to add the browsers you want to use. In my case I have three device which I named brwsr_macbook, ipad_jee and iphone_13_jee. Depeding on the device I use, I’m able to select it to play the radio stations.
In the frontend I’ve create cards for this and this is the code I use:
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: entities
entities:
- entity: input_select.radio_je
- type: conditional
conditions:
- condition: state

Indeed, this code in Developer tools pointing to an Amazon Alexa Echo Dot (media_player.office) does not work 
It works if I replace the entity_id by a Google speaker though (media_player.google_nest_mini_salon)
service: media_player.play_media
data:
media_content_id: media-source://radio_browser/96126f56-0601-11e8-ae97-52543be04c81
media_content_type: audio/mpeg
enqueue: replace
target:
entity_id: media_player.office
Am I wrong or the “big Pick Media + button” is not available anymore? I’m running 2024.4.2 and do not have any hint in the selection of a radio statio through the automations UI. Nor by using the service media_player.play_media (which is the only one suggested by the UI):
Neither by using the service media_player.media_play (which I had to write in YAML and then go back to UI mode, otherwise is not suggested)
Also, i cannot figure out how to retrieve the ID of a station in case i want to write the automation manually
Hard to tell what you’re doing in your ui as it’s not in English. However finding the id is dealt with in the thread. Please read it.
I read it, forgot to mention thet playing the radio on the browser does not changes the url so i don’t see it.
Also, yes the screenshot are not in english but i wrote the corresponding service i’m using and it’s clear there is no list available with the channels
So what do you see in the attributes in developer tools/states when you play the desired station. Radio Browser - how to use? - #13 by nickrout
Not an URL like the one the others are having:
If i try to use it on a media_player.play_media service on the same device (TV) it works, but not on an echo device, why? I think that’s the same problem as Radio Browser - how to use? - #32 by JeromeO
But again, leaving the echo device problem away, shouldn’t i see a list on the UI automation, as the documentation and other people are saying?
Which of these integrations is it? Integrations - Home Assistant
What you see in the UI depends on the ability of the media player.
How do you find the stations you want to listen to?
There are about 8 million stations listed, but no search function by call letters, or city or even frequency?
Use the web browser.
I have the Web Browser open in the Media Tab in HA
It’s sorted by Popular, Category, Language, and then all the country flags.
If I click on the United States flag then it presents EVERY station in the USA. Thousands of them.
How do I find KJJR AM 880 or FM 107.9 in the Flathead Valley Montana?
It’s not sorted by call letters or city, the stations don’t appear to be sorted alphabetically
Top line of the USA folder
EXA FM: POP | 90.7 FM KWMU-1 | iHeart Radio Café | KHSU 90.5FM | KTLR The Light
What is that sorting Scheme?
How do I find the stations I want?
Where is the search box for me to enter “KJJR” or “880”?
Ctrl - F doesn’t work.
Just scroll down through the thousands of stations and hope I find it?
I also don’t see a favorites function. Or a way to create the list of the stations I’m interested in.
Sorry I meant the radiobrowser website https://www.radio-browser.info/.
However I looked after I posted and it seems to have changed. You used to be able to search and get ready to use results. But they seem to have changed it.
