These а look like HTML entities for cyrillic letters to me that these channels put in their stream title of the ID3 tags of their MP3.

When I try

 ffprobe https://stream.beufm.kz/beufm

it gives me the same text output than you get

Input #0, mp3, from 'https://stream.beufm.kz/beufm':
  Metadata:

From what I see in ID3Decoder here, I'd say that both ExoPlayer and ID3 supports UTF8 or UTF16 for text frames. From this I think it's correct that the strings you get from the player do not resolve HTML entities but give you the raw text.

Obviously, you can't change the streams that you don't own. Best would be they use unicode instead of HTML entities. I think you can either use an Android view that supports displaying HTML text with entities, or then you can convert them to normal text that you can use with your UI.
