Android Client without Controller about snapcast HOT 21 CLOSED

In 10 sec i don't get my Smartphone out of the Pants to Controll the player ;)

from snapcast.

Nice to your progress! I used an image from https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home because I was using a SqueezeBox before switching over to snapcast..
I haven't measured how fast my setup boots, though. ;-) Also running 3 raspis in different rooms now.

from snapcast.

well, the controlling app simply installs and starts/stops a snapclient binary. So it's already there.
To automate the startup it's most convenient to wrap it into an app. Whats missing is some autostart mode, such that the player-service (it's already implemented as a service) is startet when receiving the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast event.

BTW: I like the Snapcast GUI on my 47" screen, running on FireTV 😉

from snapcast.

Ok so i don´t need to start the gui ?
Would be a nice addon for the ecosystem and this fantastic piece of code :)

Im on the way to finish my Snap:Cast One Speaker. Raspberry Zero with Phatdac build into a small speaker. Readonly Raspian so you can put off the poweroutlett when you need. perfect for Kitchen and Outside ;)

from snapcast.

At the moment you have to start the GUI. I will keep this autostart option in Mind for upcoming versions.

Snap:Cast One 😃 nice!
I didn't know about the pHAT DAC. Like it - small and affordable.
Maybe it's worth for you to take a look at issue #14 and this PiCorePlayer extension.

from snapcast.

Nice. But it dowsn´t install on the piCore with the howto on the page. Would be the perfekt and fast System for a speaker.

from snapcast.

I wonder how fast this piCore can boot

from snapcast.

My start in about 25 seks :)

but i can´t get snapclient compiled to 0.6.0 only 0.4.1 :(

from snapcast.

@badaix when i try to complie snapclient i get

snapClient.cpp:22:20: fatal error: popl.hpp: No such file or directory
#include "popl.hpp"
^
compilation terminated.

Wich debian package did i need to install to compile this on a raspberry ?

from snapcast.

Assuming you git cloned the repo, init and update the submodules, which includes popl: git submodule update --init --recursive

from snapcast.

damm i need to remember RTFM ....

from snapcast.

Simply follow this FM:

Clone Snapcast:

$ git clone https://github.com/badaix/snapcast.git

this creates a directory snapcast, in the following referred to as <snapcast dir>.
Next clone the external submodules:

$ cd <snapcast dir>/externals
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

from snapcast.

Ok up and running 0.6.0
From boot to show up in controller app 16 sec. :)
Nice and fast for some speaker building

from snapcast.

Below 10s would be better.
But on a good way already. ;)

from snapcast.

I have made a small script to install avahi and snapcast client version 0.6.0 on piCorePlayer
https://github.com/bjwelker/Snapcast-piCore

i´m on the way to make the script running with piCore only so that the image boots faster then now.

from snapcast.

ok build a complete new piCore image with only the things needed. Faster boot not possible. DHCP takes to long :(

from snapcast.

Thanks for the info. It is actually quite interesting how fast it can boot. I usually have already some web radio running. If I now power an additional Snap:Cast One, it will start playing independently of the time it takes to get my mobile out of my pocket 😉

from snapcast.

If Setup 3 Raspberry now with this image. Working so perfect. Will finetune the image a bit but for now I build some snacast multiroom Speaker. I dont know about the design Let's See

from snapcast.

@m-kloeckner it´s only a normal piCore with a little script ;) and snapcast 0.6.0

from snapcast.

Regarding the original question: Snapcast v0.7.0 introduces an auto start option in the Android client. You have to activate it once in the settings. Once activated you can use your stationary Android device headless. It will start playing after being powered on.

from snapcast.

And with this setting, Snapcast works great on Android TV too! The first launch is not obviously simple, but it works. Thanks 👍
