RSPlayer - Diy-friendly Music Player for Raspberry PI (or any other ARM64 Linux computer).

[ljufa]

Hello fellow DIYers,

I would like to share this piece of software I created for my own needs and I hope it might be helpful for others too.

Here is the repo and documentation: https://github.com/ljufa/rsplayer

Any contribution, feedback, suggestion, or question is appreciated.

In rust, hats off 👍

Is it possible to play internet radio with rsplayer?

 

[ljufa]

That feature is still missing in UI, the workaround is to use another MPD client to create a radio playlist.
Anyway, I will put that feature on my list.
What is your use case? Browse/search the radio station library or enter the stream URL manually.

 

[Dieter Geissel]

I am using a raspberry pi 3 with a hifiberry, running Volumio. Most of time i am listening webradio .

 

[Dieter Geissel]

I enter the stream manually

 

[ljufa]

Thank you for the feedback, I have added that feature to version 0.4.0. From the queue page, you can add a stream URL.

I will install it this week on a raspi3 and give you report.

Qobuz support would get me to try it.

 

[Dieter Geissel]

I tried to install it a few times at a raspberry pi 3+ and every time the picture at the firebird is freezing. No chance to change any settings.

Do you mean Firefox? Is that some older version of the browser?

 

[Dieter Geissel]

Yes, i mean firefox. It was the latest version.

 

[ljufa]

Tnx for the feedback. it is not browser related, most probably your RPI3 runs 32-bit Linux which was not supported.
I added a 32-bit deb package today, so if you are still up to trying please run a new install:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ljufa/rsplayer/master/install.sh)

The latest 0.6.0 version is here.
Meanwhile, I have added some new features and improvements:

• The most significant change is my own player implementation based on pure rust Symphonia crate and CPal for direct Alsa output. So dependency on MPD or C libraries is not required anymore. It is still missing some codecs(like APE) and cue files support but works very well for many standard audio codecs and radio streams.
• Supports x64 CPU architecture in addition to existing ARM64 and ARM32.
• Dac or Alsa mixer volume cotrol.
• Various UI improvements.

I have installed the programm at a rpi3, but i have problems to play internet radio stations.

What is the issue? No sound or something else?
Sometimes sample freq of radio stream is weird and unsupported by direct hw devices, in this case, it helps if you choose a device with all software conversions
