Advertising on radiofrance radios about radiodroid

Unfortunately no, this is not a open source app.

More than this, looking at RadioPlayer France information, it appears to be a project managed by several radio private groups : "Altice Média, Lagardère News, les radios du Groupe M6, Les Indés Radios, NRJ Group et Radio France".
Radioplayer France belongs to the Radioplayer network, a group of 14 countries united by a common brand and technical platform to strengthen the place of radio in the digital world.

So, it is probably considered as an "official" application from Radio France, explaining why there is no ads with it.

Given that, I suppose there is no way to remove the ads for RadioDroid... 😞

You're welcome.
I sniffed the traffic from the official website to get its streaming url without ads.
Since there is no way to modify RadioBrowser database (to avoid vandalism: segler-alex/radiobrowser-api-rust#49), I created new radios in the RadioBrowser database.
You just need to select them to continue to listen them without these damn pre-roll ads :)

Does the RadioPlayer app have a source code? Maybe it can be checked there.

Very interesting, thank you !
So it appears RadioBrowser is potentially using old links for streaming like listed here (aac format) and this is why the ads appears (note it is all icecast... links).
As explained in the link above, user created a new radio on RadioBrowser using default radiofrance links (stream.radiofrance.fr etc links), and then no more ads when starting to listen those radios.

So could it just because RadioBrowser database needs to be updated ? I don't know how the link in the database is selected, and the database is write protected for security reason.

Probably close this out now?

Sure, this can be closed, situation is clear.
