Hello
Please enable component debug, in configuration.yaml with:

logger:
  default: warn
  logs:
    custom_components.linkplay: debug

Restart HA, and check home-assistant.log after restart is finished + 1 minute.
Also please post the results of the following URLs on the old Up2Stream.

httpapi.asp?command=getStatusEx
httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatus

And post your linkplay config too.

@nagyrobi Thanks for your help here are infos requested ;) Hope you can find what's the problem ;)
I have added in HA config the logger parameters you indicated but didn't get more in logs than previously :/

I checked I added properly the logger code in HA config file and restarted it again but nothing more in logs than what posted already :(
For linkplay config what do you mean ? if you speak about Android App to setup the UpStream board I have just setup Wifi and name of player on it and that's it and checked if some fw updates were unable but nothing !
Let me know if you need anything else ;)

[nagyrobi]

For linkplay config what do you mean

The configuration entries in home assistant.
As for the logs, please paste the full log from home-assistant.log, not just the stripped log from the web interface. Open that file.

[nagyrobi]

There's an issue with what the player returns at /httpapi.asp?command=getPlayerStatus
I see garbled characters at the Title maybe that's the reason why it breaks.

Try playing something else.

The configuration entries in home assistant

(tried with multiroom_wifidirect both at true and false but no changes)

Changed of radio stations and tried different ones but HA keeps complaining about the JSON and player stays unavalaible in HA :(

[nagyrobi]

Try changing audio playback sources until you see something else in getPlayerStatus than "Title":"�V³+�V³+NT" because this is my first thought that may cause the issue. Plug in a USB stick with MP3s if the unit has a USB slot etc.
Why do you need multiroom_wifidirect: true?

Any reset to factory defaults helps?

Unhappy no other audio source avalaible on that tiny device out of network one :( I used the manufacturer app to play some random audio files of my phone and checked the status url of player and it contains always some weirdo characters in title/name... fields :( I guess it looks to be a bug in device firmware :/

Why do you need multiroom_wifidirect: true?

Good point ;) removed it !

Any reset to factory defaults helps?
Will do that and let you know if any changes ;)

[nagyrobi]

If you open getPlayerStatus in the browser, could you try switching the character encoding display of the page? In Firefox for example it's at the 3-lines menu > More > Text encoding. See if the weird characters turn into something more readable. If they do, please post what charcode fixes it.

[vincegre]

I'm not sure how to change text encoding but I succeeded to get it in JSON format and there is for sure a problem in that firmware as there is a part of a string in the title that has no place there I think no ?

Side note I resetted the device but no changes :( I'm thinking to write at manufacturer about it...

[nagyrobi]

Yes it definitely looks like a faulty device.
I do have 3 Arylic devices, none of them has this...

You could contact them, they have good support.

Yep will do and let you know result ;) My other device from them (the Amp version) is working fine with the plugin 👍

[vincegre]

Sorry for late update but yep got great support from Arylic that pushed a specific fw update for my unit that solved the API issue and everything works great now ;)

Thanks for help
