Thanks Terry, this was the information which made the “documentation” make sense.
I am tempted to submit a more detailed instruction … but expect it to get rejected for not fitting HA’s policy that “documentation” be hints for developers (and not intended for users).
My next step is to set up some radio stations as favourites to avoid having to scroll through huge lists.
Hi Elektrinis, (also dutch)
Have you got get to work?
How?
can you share the code?
He shared the code.
Yes! Use it with a little edit of the radio stations.
But didn’t get the answer or solution for:
Problem: it does not show if and what is playing now.’
Ok, when you have a station playing, what are all the attributes of the media_player entity you are paying through. You can see these in the states page of developer tools.
I cast my radio-browser stations to an Onkyo receiver and I recently just started playing with templates, so I am no expert, but this is a solution I am using at the moment with Mushroom Template cards for station buttons (it shows IDLE, BUFFERING, and PLAYING). There is some redundancy and buttons in the cast devices that only apply to my DNLA server because I am still working on it while I find time, but I hope this can help others figure things out, because just getting started had me stumped, but slowly I am getting it to what I want, and it works for me… for now.

Ok so 4 weeks later, I don’t recall what you were actually wanting.
Yes I understand, didnt get notification at my mail and was a bit bussy with another things:-)
The issue (not really a issue) when now play everything is working but dont see whats playing, I see “default Media receiver” when use buttons.
Would like to see:
But when I use the buttons I will get:
any idea how to get to see whats playing
No, sorry.
I had the same issue with a different setup. See part of my config below. What fixed the issue you described was the last part in my code below, starting with “extra”. Replace the values for “title” and “url” to your radio stations equivalent. Hopefully it will work in your setup as well or perhaps someone more proficient in programming might be able to get an idea how to fix it?

I’m not sure if this question has been answered.
I would like to select a radio station but want the output to stream out of HA server itself.
So use the HA app on my Iphone and select a radio station. The audio output of the server that runs HA is connected to the amplifier.
Is this possible and if so how? I could not find a setting in HA for the Radio browser.
So you want ha to download the stream and then restream it?
Not sure what you mean with this.
HA is running in Docker on a Mac mini.
What I would like is that I can use my iPhone and use the HA app to select a radio station but then stream it from the Mac mini not from the iPhone.
I hope this does make sense.
You’ll need to set up a media player on the mini that will show up in HA, like an mpd container.
Thanks.
Let’s say I will use VLC as media player in the mini.
Do I need to add the VLC add-on in HA or is that not required, will HA see the VLC player in the network?
Probably better to install the squeezelite addon.
I have been trying to add this station and nothing I do works. Can someone help me or add it for me? Thanks

If it isn’t already in radio browser you’ll have to add it here. radio-browser.info
Not a home assistant issue.
I tried adding it but it wouldnt work.
