Is it possible to run a radio stream on a classic esp32 without psram?
i2s_audio:
media_player:
- media_player.play_media: "https://edge9.pink.rs/rockstream"
What does the documentation say? Does it say that media_player requires PSRAM?
You know that you can just try things and find out too. Its not like you can only flash a board one time and if it doesnt work, you’ve wasted an esp32. Try it and see, then you’ll have answered your own questions, plus you learned something useful.
Thank you for your response. Of course, I never post a question without prior attempts, and there were plenty. I tried both frameworks and several custom components, such as gnumpi, but all without success. The problem lies with large MP3 files (small ones play fine). Sometimes it’s a memory issue; other times, it’s an issue with accessing HTTPS. However, I don’t think the problem is specifically with large streams in radio. I didn’t want to post lengthy guides and steps that don’t work, so I kept my post short. I was hoping someone here might have tried something similar, got it working, and would be willing to share their code. Or perhaps the answer will be that I won’t make progress without a more advanced setup.
P.S.: I didn’t want to come across as someone who asks without trying anything first.
