Re: [slim] FM Radio
I use my RevoSuperConnect Radio Audio Out connected to The Audio In of an IQAudio Codec+ and set up in pCp like this: And with a favourite set in LMS like this: Notes. You can use the /W suffix to specify WAV output on the stream as well as the /M or /F in the (more) notes on the gui. The latency is then about 1 second. (Thanks Ralphy for fixing this for me) The audio output on this radio is always 100% and totally independent of the radio's speaker volume control so the radio can be silent while still streaming. It streams anything the radio plays, in this case AM/DAB/FM/Internet Radio etc etc so I have the entire FM band in high quality WAV format as well as all the other options. The IQAudio parts are now part of the Raspberry Pi line-up but last time I checked they weren't producing the Codec+ but I believe there is an equivalent Hifi Berry card. +---+ |Filename: Favourite.JPG| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37311| +---+ *Study Server/Player:* LMS 8.2.0 on Pi 4B pCp 8.1.0/IQ Audio DAC+ *Refurbished 1962 RCA Stereo Console Player *pCp 8.1.0 on Pi4b/IQ Audio DAC+ *LAN Player* pCp 8.1.0 on Pi 3B / IQ Audio DAC+ *LAN Player/ADC* pCp 8.1.0 on Pi 3B / IQ audio Codec + *PC Players: x2: *Squeezelite on Windows 10 PC. ian_heys's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2629 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116021 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] FM Radio
I feed the output of a Sony XDR-F1HD into the audio in of the PC and use the Wave Input plugin, works great. Just added a BroadLink RM-3 mini to control it remotely, that part works OK. pjc8151's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69245 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116021 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] FM Radio
I have a Pi 3B v1.2 with 2 SDR radios on it. One is a dump1090 ADS-B receiver where decoding and tuning are done by the Pi. The other uses rtl-tcp which sends data to SDR# on my windows desktop for decoding. As you can see its fairly heavy on CPU but this is a Pi 3 ! 37306 You may want to check out rtl_fm for command line tune/fm decode http://kmkeen.com/rtl-demod-guide/index.html Jeff . +---+ |Filename: 2022-02-23 18_23_13-A.

There are lots of people who have used SDR on Pi4. I'm not sure of the performance - SDR means lots of processing by a CPU instead of hardware. SDR works on most radio frequencies so FM users may be a niche. Some of the google results from Pi4 and SDR https://jeremyclark.ca/wp/telecom/rtl-sdr-on-raspberry-pi4/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3TFKiE2Epw > I get the impression that the absolute frequency of a station needs > defining up front, so i assume theres is no scope for on the fly tuning? > or correction of frequency drift by location? Everything is possible since it is all software. I think scanning for frequencies is one function - once scanned then you can tune into found frequencies. Frequency drift - I reckon somebody will have done that but maybe it takes more than a pi4. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116021 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] FM Radio
thanks for that interesting read. couple of questions likely infrastructure would be a raspbian os on a PI 4 which would run LMS and Squeezlite and a browser for material all on the same box, any reason off hand that wouldn't work/have issues? I get the impression that the absolute frequency of a station needs defining up front, so i assume theres is no scope for on the fly tuning? or correction of frequency drift by location?

Many years ago when, I used to do with a Grridin RadioShark and a plugin https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?54926-Announce-SharkPlay-plugin-radioSHARK-player You need to define the source of the FM signal and the platform which will host it ?

[slim] Control Your Display using LCDd and the LMS CLI
Hi, I ported the great work of 'jscrane' (https://github.com/jscrane/lcd_lms) to Python3: https://github.com/fvzeppelin/lcd_lms With Python's inbuilt unicode support, it supports language specific stuff like German Umlauts etc. Additionally, I have linked a detailed build/installation guide also for lcdproc and libugpio on piCorePlayer in the readme. I wasn't really sure if it was worth to share it, here. But all other scripts/solutions I have seen so far had their problems: Either missing unicode support, or not-so-perfectly working display drivers (like causing glitches on VFDs), ... :mad: At least for my setup with piCorePlayer and an HD44780-based VFD, it is the only solution which works nicely as expected :cool: And with LCDd in the back, the script can be easily extended according to your needs (different screens, using keys, ...). Feel free to use it, share feedback, ...
