ANNOUNCE: Squeezelite-ESP32 (dedicated thread)

[sle118]

Just to be clear again: only the regular esp32 is supported. NO OTHER VERSION IS

And there are several reasons for this. The main one of course is the availability of external RAM that can be clocked at maximum speed to reduce memory latency, but this doesn't stop here. A lot of efforts went into fine tuning the system to make it work so smoothly, and that implies using tricks that will possibly not work on other hardware revisions. Also, we've tried staying on a Esp-idf version that is up to date, but we're still behind the latest and greatest that is required for the S2 chips. Finally, and that's a real bummer for anyone wanting to build a portable speaker, there is NO Bluetooth audio on these other chips and this alone would require some significant platform refactoring just to get the compilation to work.

Philippe may have something to add, but I believe I've covered the main points here.

Hi everyone. I have been using LMS and piCorePlayers for several years. I have recently purchased 2 of the raspiaudio Muse Proto V1.5 boards. I flashed one of them with the Home Assistant app firmware and that is working for the most part. It takes a bit of time before the song starts to play. The 2nd unit I flashed with the Squeezelite firmware. I have reflashed several times and getting no joy. I have not found any videos so far in regards to flashing the proto with the squeezelite firmware and the setup. I change the names in the web gui to more meaning full terms.When I enter the IP for my LMS and save the changes, the unit restarts and I loose web connectivity and such. When I use putty to connect to it, I see that it is doing lots of stuff and then rebooting. It just keeps looping. The unit is on the same subnet as my LMS. I am attaching the log that I got from my putty session. I have not found anything to help so far in my searches, but then maybe I am not using the right search criteria. In the logs, I do see it complaining about a command line argument error. At the end of the autoexec1 command there is a -o, but I do not see that option listed in the squeezelite options listed below.

Thanks

Where are you entering the IP for your LMS? I've never done that, squeezelite seems perfectly capable of finding out for itself...
My autoexec1: squeezelite -o I2S -b 500:2000 -d all=info -C 30 -W -n "squeezelite-dfc66c"

What firmware did you use? Did you download the recovery and application partitions ? How did ou do the download ?

-s <IP>

There's no -s in bioman88's command, hence the syntax error.

I entered the IP in one of the pages of the GUI interface.

Hi. I used the web-installer -> https://raspiaudio.github.io/, selected proto and squeezelite options.

The IP for the LMS was entered in a field on one of the pages of the web gui of the device.

Did you try https://sle118.github.io/squeezelite-esp32-installer/

[bioman88]

I guess the Nth time is the charm. I reloaded it again and after getting it on the WiFi, it started to work. Watched the logs and it found the LMS and LMS listed the new device. Before the log was just showing that it was looking and nothing else. So, no idea what happened, but it is connecting.

Thanks.

Yes I tried that the first 2 or 3 times times.

Well, as long as it work now !

I now have squeezelite-esp32 running on two different cheap ESP32 devkit boards. They perform extremely well.
I looked for a way to reset the WiFi settings to change the router without having to clear the flash partition using the
usual programming methods. Please Is there a way to do this and if not would anyone else find it a useful feature.

Please be more specific. Which version are you running?

In any case, clicking on the currently connected network from the UI will open a popup that provides network details as well as a disconnect button. Clicking on it should delete the network credentials from the player. Let me know if this helps.
