SuperPlayer - The DSP_Engine (CamillaDSP) samplerate switching & ESP32 remote control

[lykkedk]

Thread title changed at member's request.

Hey all!

As i feel guilty filling Henrik's amazing CamillaDSP thread with my stuff i am opening this thread to use for this SuperPlayer i hacked and created "howto's" for.
When i did this hack, and decided to make auto sample rate switching possible for my squeezelite/camilladsp combo, i didn't throught it would be as of any interest... But i was wrong, there seem to be a lot of people out there using it, part of it or whatever, cool... I'am really glad to contribute.

I have three repositories, the original SuperPlayer and a SuperPlayer v2 for upgrading the SuperPlayer to newer versions of CamillaDSP.
Along with that i have a fork of squeezelite, with the hack i did in the [Master] branch

I AM NOT at all any guru into programming or Linux, but been using it on and off for many years i know my way around it a bit through

• Also i am not allway's fast at reply's... so hoping everyone contribute here.

I hope this thread will be usefull, welcome!

Jesper.

And to fill in with some real content from the discussion at Henrik's CamillaDSP-thread:


I suspect that the -v option for "Visualiser support" in squeezelite, has to do with providing data for the VU-meter in the Jivelite GUI. I vill try to check that.

Thanks Pierre.

Here is a version built with what you need. Just tested on DietPi but should also work on PCP. All I did was add -DVISEXPORT to the first line of the rpi makefile and built it.

Jesper, I hope you don't mind but I think you should note the source location in case someone wants to try and build it. Its working now with the latest Squeezelite build 1.9.7 1278.


viz : GitHub - ralph-irving/squeezelite: Lightweight headless squeezebox player for Logitech Media Server


Also attached is your Hacked_squeezelite.zip archive which contains the modified output_alsa.c and Makefile.rpi.

In case someone wants to setup their own build environment on DietPi :

```

git clone https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite.git]
if git is not installed : 
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

```

I will eventually "clone" the repos, as Henrik suggested some time ago, but as i wrote in Camilla thread i'am not there yet.
Or do you mean otherwise?

Good day.

Jesper.

All good jesper!

Thanks wineds..!

I now have a Rpi setup for building, and just started to dive in to the code. Your example verified my guesses of where to put Jesper's code.

But I did cut the corner and tested your squeezelite.
Unfortunately - Nice try, but no cigar...

Your version also lacks support for the -v option, and can't be started by cPC.

@wineds..!

Now I'm confused. Your version of squeezelite is identical with Jesper's. Meaning same version no: v1.9.7-1218. I had expected 1.9.7-1278..?
