This evening I have been gutting fish!
A cheap, fish shaped AM/FM shower radio from a jumble sale, with the gubbins replaced with an esp32, powered by a discarded vape battery.
Running https://github.com/sle118/squeezelite-esp32/ and streaming from my https://lyrion.org/ server.

Google Chromecasts out, ESP32s in! Just installed the three HiFi-ESP32s from Sonocotta and put the ESP32-A1S-AudioKit in the case one of my colleagues 3D printed for me.

(Post 2/3) - Die Odyssee durch Netzwerk und DAC-Treiber

Zuerst der Verdacht: IP, Port, Firewall? Music Assistant läuft mit network_mode: host, d.h., die Firewall des Debian-Servers (ufw) war der Übeltäter. Ports 8095 (UI), 9000/9090 (Squeezebox) geöffnet. ✅ PiCorePlayer fand Music Assistant nun per Autodiscovery. Aber die Musik blieb stumm, Player stürzte ab!

Nächster Schritt: Die PiCorePlayer-Logs! Squeezelite meldete "Device or resource busy". Ein Kampf mit sich selbst: Die Squeezelite-Instanz der PiCorePlayer-UI blockierte den FiiO DAC. Deaktiviert, rebootet – DAC frei! Jetzt stürzte Squeezelite nicht mehr ab, aber immer noch keine Musik! 🤔

To eliminate network issues have repurposed #Pi4 with #piCorePlayer and #lyrionmusicserver (4TB usb drive for storage) using a digital out DAC (coax) to my amp/streamer. Though for some reason that eludes me all sample rates are being down sampled to nearest multiple of 44.1 . Can't seem to find any documentation online to help fix. may need to play with the different options on #squeezelite tab

@gnulinux Ich nutze seit Jahren ein #LMS in Kombination mit #max2play bzw. #squeezelite. LMS verfügt über ettliche Plugins u.a. auch für #spotify. Falls du den noch nicht kennst, check it out. 🙂

My life would be simpler if software were packaged properly (not shipping a whole bunch of conflicting libraries within the package that are also available as OS packages) and written in memory safe languages (Segmentation fault says C via perl). Anyway, my music plays again! Shame about the collateral damage to the display manager... #Upgrades #rPI #Squeezelite #Logitechmediaserver

In my ongoing quest to #Selfhost everything and anything, I've now added #LogitechMediaServer, and flashed my Raspiaudio ESPMuse Luxe with #Squeezelite.

Through this, it - at last - lets me cast music from my #Navidrome server to the Luxe. And - thanks to a plugin that ships with LMS - also my begrudgingly tolerated Google smartspeakers via the same interface.

Their continued existance is based entirely on leased time though.

Soon, they too shall be replaced with #cloudless alternatives.

Today I learned that #cats can hear up to around 85kHz. And they DO NOT like it. 😾

So I'm playing with #esp32 and various #audio setups (#squeezelite and #esphome ) when I miswired the Left/Right clock on a #DAC (a digital sound card for chips.) It didn't know where the values started, so it played loud digital noise with hints of the actual signal in it. The humans heard the normal "out of phase AM reception with rumbling static", a song that often accompanies projects around here. However, this time the cats Freaked The ### OUT. Bolt upright looking around, NOT happy. (Even cats on a different floor.) After the second time, none of them came into the office until this morning.

I think the speaker was able to reproduce (some of?) the 88.2kHz pattern in the word-mangled data, like a full volume "cat whistle" far beyond human hearing. I am much more sure that the cats will stop hanging out with me if I do it again.

Today's #esp32 project is #audio. Time to wire up an #i2s DAC and really get to know #squeezelite. (And maybe I finally found a good use for my #Trill sensors.)
