ANNOUNCE: Squeezelite-ESP32 (dedicated thread)

[[email protected]]

Esp23 wrover & i2s pcm2102a

Hi,

i am sitting here since days trying to get my Squeezelite-ESP32 working without success.

For the beginning i have the following parts:

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004445001353.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.17.21ef5c5fy00SSd&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000397296348.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.23.21ef5c5fy00SSd&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

I connected the parts as described in the Readme: https://github.com/sle118/squeezelit...rover--i2s-dac

After Flashing the ESP with the linked webinstaller, i can connect to the Webinterface and configure the WLAN credentials.
Rebooting the device - again it starts in recovery mode.
I configured the devicename successfully
I editedt in NVS Editor "dac_config" to bck=26,ws=25,do=33
Again rebooted - again it starts in recovery mode.

The Log states that it is also connected to my LMS, but i can't see it there.
I attached the console output for a boot process to this post.

In case a select "Exit Recovery" on the ESP WebUI it ends in a reboot loop. Only way to get back is flash again :-(

Anybody to support here, please?

Please capture the logs from the boot loop. Recovery doesn't connect as a player; it merely connects to the server to support proxy update downloads.

Out of curiosity, did you install the squeezelite-esp32 plugin?

Thanks for fast reply.
Attached you find one Log booting in recovery mode and one for disabling recovery mode and the firts reboots.

You mean the ESP32 Plugin for LMS? Yes it's installed, but as i understand it's optional?

Do you have 192.168.2.203 coded at the end of your autoexec1? I'm going to guess it's not a valid command. Try removing it and see what happens.

As mboxler wrote, the command line is invalid. Navigate to your audio tab on the web UI and either remove it, or loom at the logs for some hints

Spoiler: to specify the server to connect to, use this

-s <server>[:<port>]	Connect to specified server, otherwise uses autodiscovery to find server

The extra parameters configuration field works just like the regular squeezelite.

Thanks a lot

Thank you.
Indeed it seems that the autoexec command was the causing issue.
I flashed the device again and only configured the WLAN credential and DAC_config, now it's working. (see attachment)
Was i wrong to configure the LMS Server under Audio > Output > optional setting:

Now i only need to manage the volume of the speackers, right now it's quite low.

In the vast majority of cases, it is not needed to specify the server address, as the system will use automated discovery to find it. In rare cases where you have to enter it, then you have to use the same command line syntax that squeezelite exposes, which is to use '-s up[ort]' as stated in my previous comment

Did you check the volume level in LMS?

Also, check the levels of the Parametric equalizer in LMS under Settings/Player/ESP32 settings. One time I flashed a device and they defaulted to a bunch of random levels. Zeroed them out and all was good.

Now it's working :-)
Already including a small SPI Display.

As i need to have the LMS authentication active and would like to have a "stop" button on each player, i set "lms_ctrls_raw" to "y". But how can i configured if button on GPIO_X is pressed, player should be stopped / turned off?

Ok i think i found by myself:

required config in NVS Tab:
actrls_config: buttons

at the buttom add new "buttons":
buttons: [{"gpio":4,"normal":{"pressed":"ACTRLS_POWER"}}]

Power cycle issue

I have flashed the firmware to a wrover esp32 device and all seems to function OK with one exception. When I first power up or power cycle the device it is non functioning until I press the reset button on the board. After that, it works fine. I would rather not have to press the button every time on boot. Is this expected behavior? If not, any suggestions on a fix?

Definitely not the expected behavior. But to get some help, you will need to provide more details about your hardware setup and what/how you have flashed on it.

One thing that comes to mind is that this could be a power supply issue, so having the hardware details is a must.

Hello I'm proud to annouce that the Mn cast is available on Amazon now. It comes with Squeezelite pre-loaded.






The Mn Cast device is intended to be plugged into your old stereo system to add modern connectivity such as Bluetooth, Airplay, Local Streaming, Home Assistant support, and much more. Don’t throw away your old Hifi system; upcycle it!

installation guide is here

Hi,
i followed this interesting Project, but could not find any further information about the topic synchronization. what about the topic sync?, is a good synchonisation in multiroom-audio with other squeezeboxes, with other squeezelite-linux-clients, picoreplayer or even other squeezelite-esp32-clients achievable, which works without problems? actually i'm thinking about whether buying 3 clients on a raspberry pi or better esp32-clients...? Is the project stable running on this little ESP32-Devices?
thank you ...

It does sync with any other Squeezebox device
