A comprehensive guide to a possible solution for streaming internet radio to Bose SoundTouch speakers via local UPnP (Gerbera) and configure presets using Home Assistant, Python API, or WebServices after Bose's cloud service EOL in Feb 2026.

🎵 Play Internet Radio on Bose SoundTouch After Cloud Shutdown (Feb 2026)

This setup should allow your Bose SoundTouch speakers to continue playing Internet radio locally after Bose discontinues its cloud services (February 2026).
This method is experimental until confirmed after the official EOL.

It replaces the soon-to-be-retired TuneIn integration while keeping local playback working.

Note: Based on recent community testing, SoundTouch presets will likely stop working after the Bose cloud shutdown in February–March 2026 unless a workaround is found.

08-12-2025 — Removed most of this Gist because there’s a much simpler solution than using the Gerbera media server: hosting a JSON description of the radio station on an HTTP server (thanks to user gmuth).
