Allright, so I am using an old android device to use for my TTS announcements and I have it connected on my stereo system. I have speakers all over my house and this is working great. I feel like i have JARVIS.
The thing now is that I am trying to setup mopidy and icecast2 to stream music to the same android device. The purpose is to play any song I want using that android device.
I have messed so much my setup that I have no idea if my settings are correct at this moment. Can anyone advise please?
Can you please elaborate how you used āold android device for TTS announcementsā ?
Iām trying to do the same with my old android phone using snapcast (apk available for android). Why do you want to use icecast instead?
I have setup lannouncer on that device. So whatever text I am sending, it just announces it.
Here is how you can set it up.
There is no particular reason for it. I am willing to discuss it if you like. I just chose icecast. I have no experience on that, so I went for what sounded better I guess.
I have given up on that project since I coulndnt figure it out but if any ideas come up, I can set it up all over again.
My purpose is still the same as my original post. I want to play music from that device (use it as a speaker).
I recently bought a second raspberry pi and have it as a multipurpose device. I keep trying different things on it. You think I can put it in use as a media center?
I know that snapcast allows to continous resync between devices (while icecast allows only to play the same media).
So I think snapcast is more suggested.
Many project (inside and outside this forum) are made using mopidy + snapcast on a raspberry pi.
I want also to recycicle 2 old android phones with this purpose. I connected it to some logitech anywhere ipod speaker and it āworksā but Iām not very satisfied about the overall quality.
Depending on the network traffic the music somentimes is not fluent. So I think I will move also to a pi 3.
Kann man die App Lannouncher noch irgendwo downloaden oder gibt es eine Alternative?
EDIT: I found a mirror here
