I have an ESP dev kit which contains a ESP32-D0WDQ6 CPU which I am driving from HA. In the yaml file, I have set up the internal DACs to output audio:
i2s_audio:
- i2s_lrclk_pin: GPIO13
media_player:
- platform: i2s_audio
dac_type: internal
name: "dac_player"
mode: stereo
Either in the yaml directly or from HA, I can play mp3 internet radio, eg from https://media-ssl.musicradio.com/GoldMP3. However what I also want to do is to play audio from my TVHeadend server on my network. I can play audio from TVH in vlc on a Pi and on a PC but the ESP refuses to do so. The log shows:
[12:11:45][D][media_player:061]: 'dac_player' - Setting
[12:11:45][D][media_player:071]: Volume: 0.10
[12:11:45][D][media_player:061]: 'dac_player' - Setting
[12:11:45][D][media_player:068]: Media URL: http://tvheadend.local:9981/stream/channelid/526472930
[12:11:45][W][component:237]: Component i2s_audio.media_player took a long time for an operation (263 ms).
[12:11:45][W][component:238]: Components should block for at most 30 ms.
[12:11:45][W][component:237]: Component i2s_audio.media_player took a long time for an operation (67 ms).
[12:11:45][W][component:238]: Components should block for at most 30 ms.
I have tried many different output stream profiles from TVH, with/without transcoding, but nothing seems to work with the ESP (almost everything does with vlc).
Has anyone got this working? Is there anything else I can try?
