    Die Latenz außer Acht lassend, können Sie ggf. mit dem waveinput plugin vom Squeezebox Server etwas ähnliches erreichen. Dies ist jedoch kein Anwendungssfall von Max2Play und wird in Latenz resultieren.

    Wie erwähnt wäre der einfachste Weg, über Kodi TV zu sehen und dort das Ausgangsgerät hifiberry bei deaktiviertem eingebautem Audio vom Pi (in den Raspberry Einstellungen) auszuwählen.

    Hi Brian,

    Yes there is, however, Max2Play does not offer a general solution. You would need the WaveInput plugin für Squeezebox Server.

    There are several discussions on this plugin here and in the slimdevices forums.

    Here you can find all pertinent posts from Max2Play.

    Hi Hans,

    You are not alone, I too would like a simple funktion to steam my Lp’s to the rest of the house. It has to do with the Logitech Media Server and the way it handles music in !! in your case it might also need a driver from HiFi Berry.

    People over at the LMS Forum has have luck with streaming to the Server as a „Radio Station“ in Flac quality, there’s a plugin for LMS for wave in in LMS you can read an participate in booth here: Click and here click and there are many more under the topic: Waveinput

    Hallo knorke,

    Wie bereits erwähnt gibt es von uns dafür keine Lösung. Für ein breiteres Feld an DIY-Lösungen kannst du noch im SlimDevices Forum nachfragen. Hier wäre noch ein relevanter Thread von dort

    I know it’s not officially supported by Max2Play but I have the plugin installed but I’m still having a few issues figuring out which stream I need to use (I have a Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 as my USB input) and I can’t get the stream to play out of the other speakers also when I get this figured out is there a way to set the stream to autoplay on startup of the server?

    Hallo Timm,

    Input ist schwierig für das System, da es einen Stream doppelt enkodieren und glattziehen muss. Im LMS gibt es das WaveInput Plugin womit dies theoretisch möglich ist. Hier ist der passende Thread dazu im SlimDevices Forum

    Hi mhooo,

    We are not very experienced with the WaveInput Plugin.

    Your best bet would be the slimdevices discussion thread on the plugin itself.
    However, you can check the Health Checker in Settings/Reboot during playback to see if the Pi’s load is affected by WaveInput and it might be a hardware issue.

    Hi amigo,

    There is no direct solution for audio-in. However, there is the wave input plugin for the LMS that might help you along.

    Hi guys,

    Thank you for the feedback. We will definitely consider the possibilities that this input option might have.

    For now, you can already look at the WaveInput plugin that comes with our installation of the Squeezebox Server.

    This plugin can manage streaming input to multiple Squeeze players, like our Squeezelite.

    I’m trying to setup Max2Play on a RaspberryPi Zero as a Bluetooth receiver for my Echo Dot. I want to stream the Bluetooth audio to the Squeezebox server running on the same device. When I install Bluetooth Streaming for Squeezebox Server I get a message that no Bluetooth Device is connected. The full output is below as is the output of hciconfig -a showing the Bluetooth address for the onboard device. Is there a step I’m missing for Max2Play to detect the onboard Bluetooth? I have already run apt-get update and upgrade.

    @Heiner: Ich hab grad wieder eine Ewigkeit das Netz gewühlt, aber diese Linus Ratten verstecken sich immer. Das Waveinput Plugin ist für die Nutzung auf Windows ja sehr gut beschrieben, nur bekomme ich von:
    RPI 1 Linux (Max2Play mit Bluetooth) -> RPI 2 Linux (LMS mit Waveplugin) einfach kein zusammenhängendes Bild 🙁
    Könntest du mir einen kleinen Stubs geben? Sonst gibt es immer hunderte von Anleitungen online. Aber zum Thema finde ich einfach nichts brauchbares. Pulseaudio soll das von haus aus können, aber da benutzen sie meist die grafische Oberfläche usw usw.

    Was wäre ein möglichst einfacher weg nach dem ich suchen soll?
    Liebe Grüße

    Hi Christoph and Stephan,


    @Christoph
    : Nötig ist dafür, dass der LMS auf dem Raspberry läuft. Dann kann allerdings der BT-Stream über die synchronize-Funktion vom LMS an alle anderen Squeezelite Player weitergeleitet werden. Ansonsten gäbe es noch, wie bereits in einem anderen Topic erwähnt, das WaveInput-Plugin.


    @Stephan
    . Thanks for the info, we will look into this and try to fix problem if we can reproduce it 🙂

    Hi aschiller and Oli,

    No, unfortunately running SBS as „pi“ is not a possibility.

    For now please note that the pulse framework is only activated when you use our Bluetooth plugin. Otherwise, you should get all ALSA features including „arecord“ and should also be able to use it as your input for waveinput.

    But, we will try to test this with the Digi I/O and let you know. 😉

    Hi,

    I have been trying to create a system that will do this myself! I have a separate RPi that creates an internet radio stream of the Bluetooth input, but it’s not as nicely finished as this solution.

    I can’t get this Bluetooth plugin working. I have two RPi players and a Zyxcel NAS LMS.
    If I try to play Bluetooth audio on a single player, I set the soundcard to pulse (as instructed), and it simply disables my HifiBerry Digi+ soundcard. What soundcards can I use?

    Is there any way to stream back to my LMS? I can install the waveinput plugin on my LMS?

    @aschiller: the URL would be wavin:pulse, but this is not working for me.

    According to bpa, author of the wavePlugin, it seems nearly impossible to use his plugin with pulseAudio, when Squeezebox Server is running as a daemon: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?49584-Announce-WaveInput-for-Linux&p=689002&viewfull=1#post689002

    Hallo knorke,
    Sorry bezüglich der verspäteten Antwort. Du kannst das WaveInput Plugin des Squeezebox Servers austesten: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?49584-Announce-WaveInput-for-Linux
    Damit ließe sich solch ein Setup wahrscheinlich verwirklichen.

    Hi aschiller,
    Have you contacted slimdevices forums regarding this setup? We have not yet had a lot of experience with the WaveInput plugin and its capabilities, however, we would be interested in hearing what could be possible with it in combination with Max2Play.

    Hi everybody,

    I am new to the max2play project so please forgive me if this question is basic. At the moment I am struggling heavily with getting the waveinput plugin workin within max2play. I followed the installation instructions (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?49584-Announce-WaveInput-for-Linux) but it just does not work with max2play.

    In particular I set up an external soundcard (C-Media chipset) at the raspberry and I can successfully access the line-in of the soundcard using

    arecord –device=plughw:1,0 –format S16_LE –rate 44100 -V mono

    however if I try to add the address

    wavin:plughw:1,0

    or

    wavin:hw:1,0

    to favorites and start playing it, nothing but silence can be heard. Is it possible that there is another address to be used due to the pulse soundframework which is used in max2play. If this is the case can you help me setting this up.

    Thanks

    #25504

    @Gary S: I think the problem is my Bluetooth Handling, as the Echo can Stream AND Receive Bluetooth audio. I don’t have an Echo for testing yet, but there is a part in a file of Max2Play, that sets Pulsaudio to stream via bluetooth (to Bluetooth speakers) if there is anything connected to stream to. This might cause the problem. For testing you could remove the part of the file via SSH Login and edit „nano /var/www/max2play/application/plugins/bluetooth/scripts/autostart.sh“

    search for

    
      # TODO: get current default sink and compare
      if [ ! "" = "$BLUETOOTHSINK" ]; then
    

    change to

    
      # TODO: get current default sink and compare
      BLUETOOTHSINK=""
      if [ ! "" = "$BLUETOOTHSINK" ]; then
    

    Maybe this helps 🙂


    @aschiller
    : 3 seconds should be normal – 30 seconds is way too much. I modified the WaveInput plugin to work with Pulseaudio and stream Bluetooth to the Squeezebox Server. Does this delay also occur after a fresh restart? Did you enable the „Autostart Bluetooth-Streaming in Squeezebox Server“? If you have a look on the Squeezebox Server webinterface – after you start streaming from your phone, how long does it take until the stream is indicated as playing in Squeezebox Server?

    Hi everybody,

    first of all congratulations for the amazing work you are doing. This plugin is truly great. Today I followed your tutorial and everything worked out of the box!

    I have one question regarding the playback. At the moment there is a delay of 60 seconds when I use the „stream to squeezebox server“ option until the audio is played on my squeezebox radio. Is there any option or possibility to reduce this delay. I already studied the squeezebox server options but could not find an appropriate parameter. Is the waveinput plugin responsible for this delay?

    Thanks

    Hello Flysurfer,

    Upgrading to Beta-161219 did not solve my problem with streaming TO the LMS. But at least it helped streaming FROM the RPi to my UE Boom 2 speaker.

    I tried a Google Pixel (Android 7.1.1), an iPhone 5S (iOS 9.3.5), and an iPad Mini (iOS 6). Only the old iPad Mini showed a pairing dialog, when I clicked on the „Reconnect“ button in the max2play GUI.

    Playback on my Raspberry 2 B is choppy although the load average is below 3. Maybe the only solution would be to upgrade to a RPi 3 B?

    Maybe the WaveInput plugin plus an external USB soundcard is a better solution. So I could also connect a Chromecast Audio which might be more useful for streaming audio from Android.

    Thanks
    Oliver

    Watching the development of the bluetooth streaming to multi squeezelite player made me wonder if the next step could be for Max2play to include analogue input through USB soundcard. I don’t know how you pulled this off but I’m thinking it had to do with a variation of the waveinput plugin. I know some people were able to get it to work with a cirrus or wolfson soundcard but that audio interface is hard to get where I live. I’ve attempted unsuccessfully to install waveinput, liquidsoap, darkice and icecast2 on a Pi3 with a USB soundcard and was wondering if that would not be an interest from Max2play to develop such a plugin to help the non-programmers like me.

    Ideally I would like to stream vinyls in lossless and preferably in 24/96 from a turntable to squeezelite devices.

    Hello

    Same with digital audio input. It would be a great feature to choose from different audio inputs (line in, coax) for recording purposes or to use it as a preamp for analogue oder digital sound inputs.
    I have manually installed the „Waveinput“ Plugin for Squeezeboxserver. However, this did not work, since there is no option to change/choose different audio input. The waveinput plugin seems no more compatible with curent hard-/software, probably that’s why it is no more listed in the plugin list of Squeezboxserver.

    Other question: does the curent Kernel work with the „old“ original Wolfson audio card?

    Regards
    Phil

    Hello Bazzzer,

    we don’t know what you will do with the audio once it is inside the Pi. However, the Wolfson board with its Line In and S/PDIF makes it possible to get sound into the Pi. We know the plugin „WaveInput“ available for Squeezebox Server (LMS). In the plugin’s settings, you can choose the correct audio input there. The LMS can provide the incoming audio to all clients as usual.
    Make sure to use the Raspberry Pi Default Image and choose „Wolfson ´Cirrus Logic (Kernelchange) at „Raspberry Settings“.
