Volumio not discovered as a blutooth speaker by a Philips Android TV

[microJean]

My Volumio Raspberry Pi3/4 is not discovered as a blutooth speaker on my Philips Android TV.
It works perfect with any Android phone, Windows laptop and other non Android TV (old Panasonic TV).
I use Premium account especially for ths feature.
The Philips Android TV, instead, discovered different other blutooth speakers with no issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi SimonE

I did understand he wants to output from the tv to Volumio as an input…

Oh, OK I read it differently. I which case, question for @microJean - is Bluetooth playback enabled in the Volumio Sources menu? BT works better with a Pi4 than a 3B.

Bluetooth input is enabled (it works just fine with my phone and laptop). I tried using Rpi4, Rpi3 and even Zero 2 W with the same bad result.
