![]() ![]() plays all my internet radio streams without issue plays long GPM tracks without closing them halfway no digital processing except decoding mp3/m4a streams/files ![]() So I tried out standard Raspbian, and after some experimentation, I worked out a solution that met these criteria:. Thanks to the developer at Bubblesoft for pointing me in this direction. After experimentation, I found this made all the difference, using tracks which I knew always failed at a certain point. After 0.21, mpd downloads to a buffer ("- curl: download to buffer instead of throttling transfer"), and then plays the downloaded data. This only works reliably for me with mpd versions after 0.21, because GPM servers have a tendency, for tracks > c10 mins long, to close the stream if the renderer is demanding data in chunks which it considers too small. The reason the mpd version is important is because I sometimes stream Google Play Music(GPM), via BubbleUPnP on android devices, which makes GPM look like a UPnP music server. Or they didn't like the internet radio links coming from my main music server (Minimserver). First, they seemed to all use an old version of mpd, the music player daemon, and secondly, they didn't support the use of an infra-red remote control. I have tried various turnkey-packaged solutions for using a Pi as a music renderer, but they generally didn't satisfy because they were designed to do more than be a renderer, while the renderer function failed on various counts. ![]()
