ANNOUNCE: Squeezelite-ESP32 (dedicated thread)

Should have mentioned that - this is on purpose as it is easier to identify a failed occurrence. But meanwhile I was able to confirm on my side that the only option that really works is to have the JPEG decoder in flash, not in rom. This is unfortunate as it costs 5kB of flash and the 2.x release is super short on memory, but it is what it is. Thanks very much for all the tests.

Thanks to you!

ESP32-Lyra-T

Has anyone run this on the ESP32-Lyra-T audio development board?

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/356-ESP32-LYRAT

Also, I have a couple ESP32-ROVER-E modules ordered for a different project, it appears they should be able to support this, given a proper i2s DAC

Cheers, and thanks.

I found this statement in README...

Note: Touch buttons that can be found on some boards like the LyraT V4.3 are not supported currently.

The ES8388 DAC on the board is supported, so for 20 bucks it still sounds like a fun project.

Can you post a link to the modules you ordered? Can't imagine why they wouldn't work.

... so for 20 bucks it still sounds like a fun project ...

This is a direct shipment from the China Fabric, so 20 EUR + 20 EUR = 40 EUR
Cheapest delivery option with FedEx International Priority to EU, include all duty and customs fees on select shipping methods.

//edit

The ESP32 WROVER boards are becoming more and more out of stock, as I currently see in the EU. I think that for the few boards that are still available, the prices will soon be as high as for the Raspberry Pi.

SqueezeESP32 plugin 0.352

Something seems wrong with the updated plugin 0.352: lot of errors in server.log, due to strings.txt having CRFL line terminators, but after correcting/converting this locally the equalizer is no longer visible under material and default skin

Edit: only the line terminators are wrong - after restarting the esp32 system settings and equalizer are shown again in the plugin settings page.

Indeed some things seem to be wrong with plugin v0.352:
- Plugin name on LMS Plugin tab has changed to PLUGIN_SQUEEZESP32. Was this name change intentional?
- Under Squeezelite-ESP32 player settings the plugin name is blanked out. See screenshot below.
- Errors in LMS server.log, including:

Slim::Display::Display::string (887) Error: missing string PLUGIN_SQUEEZEESP32

If you are seeing PLUGIN_SQUEEZESP32 then someone has made a typing error. There should be two E before SP32 ...
PLUGIN_SQUEEZEESP32
The translation of the all-uppercase strings to (localised) text is done by LMS using the SqueezeESP32/strings.txt file.
That file has not changed with this release.

This is the set of changed files ...

https://github.com/sle118/squeezelite-esp32/commit/8f2a1aec536bc0a59cc7bcdc68fcae26f482e243

and it does not look like this string was modified.

Maybe try a fresh start of LMS to see if it clears the problem.

That is probably a typo. I see
PLUGIN_SQUEEZEESP32 0.352
It wasn't like that before the update.

If the plugin was packaged on a dev's machine, and that machine's git
was configured to fiddle with line endings or whatever, the outcome
could still be an invalid strings.txt file. I'm sure they'll pick it up
from here.

That someone was me, sorry for that. I indeed see PLUGIN_SQUEEZEESP32 on the LMS Plugins tab, and as slatibartfast says, that name is different than before.
Also on the Player tab I could earlier select "ESP32 settings" for my SqueezeAMP, and now "ESP32 settings" has been blanked out, as shown in my screenshot above.
So there is definitely something wrong with SqueezeESP32 plugin v0.352.

[Paul Webster]

LMS logs at startup show the error.
I think the issue is the line endings - although I have not looked at the file to verify.
Philippe or sle probably have to bump the version number along with fixing the strings file (save in unix format).

[CJS]

For information, Philippe has updated the SqueezeESP32 plugin to v0.353, and now the text display problems as signaled above are fixed.
Thanks, Philippe, for the quick fix!

Idiots Guide?



For some reason I seem to be finding this thread somewhat impenetrable.

I have an ESP32 WROVER as pictured and I want to output SPDIF.

Which particular file should I flash it with, and how - using a Mac?

Thanks, and sorry to be an idiot.

Tony
