The problem
I was hoping that I can test the latest beta which should solve this issue: #3858 and beta 21 should fix this issue - which I created - too: #4146
Unfortunately I cant reopen that issue (no permission)
The issue persists with beta 21. Playback on "this device" is possible on a Firefox Browser on Windows, however it is still not possible through the comapanion app on iOS devices.
MA beta is up and running, HA rebootet. Still the issue persists on iOS.
The error in the log is the same as I provided previously:
"2025-08-19 07:08:02.360 DEBUG (MainThread) [music_assistant.builtin_player] Client is probing the stream."
How to reproduce
Install the latest beta and try to play music on the local iOS device.
Music Providers
Local Music on my NAS
Player Providers
"This Device" on iOS
Full log output
Already provided in #4146, still today it states: "2025-08-19 07:08:02.360 DEBUG (MainThread) [music_assistant.builtin_player] Client is probing the stream."
