Internet radio and audio file player on ESP32-S3

And what would you say about adding RSS news display to the radio in the v3 version, I practiced the Polsat News Polska channel, you can probably also choose another channel from those available on the website: https://www.polsatnews.pl/kanaly-rss/
I just chose this content: https://www.polsatnews.pl/rss/polska.xml

In the main loop I added a new function, which is called every 1 minute and in each cycle displays one news item from all those available in turn:

Hello this radio is slowly becoming an e-gazette 😀
I for one am in favour.

Greetings...

and I'm of the opinion that you have a laptop for information the radio should have typical audio functions plus time, date sleep alarm and that's it, nobody stares at the screen all the time and grabs information, switches on the radio and listens to it mainly

Maybe so but not everyone has a permanent laptop on their desk switched on, such information can sometimes come in handy.

If it was to be the radio itself then a colour screen is already something overkill that the radio is designed for 😀

But everyone can (and should) have their own opinion, and I'm still in favour 😀

Majster and tell me how do you get this information onto the screen i.e. how does the radio get it, do you pull this RSS data from the website or is it some strips on the TV pages and how do you get the link to put it on the screen ?

Hello,
i uploaded a new version Evo 3.19.32 to my GitHub Dzikakun Link
I have also uploaded a "merged" file that can be uploaded with the standard ESP flash tool by uploading the BIN from address 0x0000

What's new ?

Power modes
The radio after power up checks what was the reason for the reset, if it is the result of a power failure it goes into "Standby" mode. I have added a full reset also with RTC registers. Radio can be switched on/off both with IR remote control (red handset) and encoder2 (1xclick 0.5 sec. switches radio on, to switch off hold down until "POWER OFF" appears)

Timer in "Standby"
When the radio is switched off by remote control In this mode, the screen can remain off or display a full-screen clock. Configuration via the web page in the settings. As a new variable has been added to the config file, please run the settings on the website and re-write the configuration file




Sleep mode
Use the green handset button to set the sleep mode. This function works as in Yamaha, Denon, Marantz tuners. With the first click we set the time from 90minutes to 15 minutes. (90->75->60->45->30->15->OFF). If the information on the sleep time setting disappears from the display, each press of the sleep button calls up the function showing the set time, another press switches sleep off according to the principle 1x click show sleep setting, another click sleep OFF. The display in all modes shows the three letter icon "Z" - "ZZZ" as an indication of the activated SLEEP mode.





Non-network mode
In no-network mode when the wifi manager starts up, the IR remote control works from now on to a limited extent, the radio can be switched off (red handset), and a reset can be performed using the 'back' button. This is a nod to those who use the HotSpot for internet and sometimes forget to switch it on.

Radiobrowser
A new 'Radiobrowser' button has appeared in the menu tab. This is a page that uses Radiobrowser servers to search for any radio station in the world. There is a "PLAY" button on the page, which sends the address of the stream and allows you to play the station immediately on the radio. The radio displays "URL" as the station number, the bank number disappears. There is currently no option to automatically transfer links to the selected Bank.
NOTE: In order for the Radiobrowser website to work, the browser.html file located in the "SD card content" directory must be uploaded to the SD card or SPIFFS memory







Volume function "Fadein-Fadeout"
I have added the "Fadein", "Fadeout" function. Now the station change is done with a pleasing mute and volume. This has eliminated the crackling that sometimes occurred when switching to a new station. Also, in SLEEP mode, when the radio counts down to sleep, it slowly mutes the radio and then switches off.

Navigation on station list
I have restored the option to scroll through the station list in the so-called "loop" mode, i.e. being on a station e.g: 99 scrolling by one station will set the list to station number 1.

Update banks with stations
I am slowly getting on with updating all the banks. A lot of stations no longer work, many are duplicated in multiple banks so there will be a lot of empty space. At the moment the following have been refreshed:
Bank1 (treating this one as my list of favourite, handy stations)
Bank16 contains HiRes FLAC stations

The rest of the banks are coming soon.

Hello, I have a question, I turn the radio off with the bar and also turn it on with the bar, from what I read in the latest version after switching it on it goes into standby mode, is that so?

If so, would it not be possible to configure somewhere in the code that the radio in such a situation would start as before ?

PS thanks for including the reset of the radio from the remote control when there is no AP.

Greetings....

if anyone is looking for feet for the case, I recommend this: it is aluminium cut from 2 parts (black and gold) and you can make black feet and gold feet from it I cleaned a little bit the side of the black one and piled the thread and there are black and silver feet and the other one gold whoever prefers when I finish the radio I will show how it looks like still waiting for one detail https://allegro.en/offer/galley-furniture-gol...lack-metal-loft-glamour-radelated-17527212106

@DJCheester Exactly as you wrote i.e. turning on the strip also requires turning on the remote or encoder. It's easy to disable this in the code (I'll add the appropriate configuration in the next revision) For a quick reference: find the code snippet and just comment it out like this:



change to:

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll be uploading this tomorrow to comment.

Regards...

@robgold You do such a job it's a shock.... all other projects can go into hiding. Respect and thanks for your time on this project.

I am of the same opinion, this is the best developed internet radio I have fired up and I have fired up all the versions in this topic. The only thing missing for me personally is the MP3 player from the SD card, if that was there it would be beautiful, but my colleague Robgold gave it up, well that's a shame. But it's still beautiful.

In the library manager you have ESP by espressif installed and there is a version we (at least I) use 3.20



Greetings....

I understand, so I have the latest one.



And the audioI2S library the latest one you install and swap the files in the library directory you enter from the SRC directory and swap the ones downloaded from Github kol Robgold.

Greetings....
I'll do that already tomorrow.

Admiration and respect for your knowledge.

That is, both in the core and in the AudioI2S library you have to swap files.

From the start, it looks like this.
You install the Arduino IDE

Next

To this you install the ESP board
esp32 by Espressif System 3.2.0

After installing the core, that is what you have to do above, you have to do the first file swap (these files are responsible for the correct playback of FLAC stations - these streams on the original files stutter - after the swap the game plays without clipping)

You go to Github by Robgold here

https://github.com/dzikakuna/ESP32_radio_evo3...eplace%20in%20Arduino%20for%20FLAC%20stations

And you download this file and unzip it and there you have two files which you have to swap with the files in this location

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\tools\esp32-arduino-libs\idf-release_v5.4-2f7dcd86-v1\esp32s3\lib

Where xxx is your computer name you need to check what computer name you have and enter there instead of XXX

Next you download the libraries from the library manager in the Arduino IDE environment.

To compile Robgold's radio you need all these libraries

AsyncTCP by ESP32Async 3.3.6
ESP Async WebServer by ESP32Async 3.7.2
ESP-audioI2S-master by schreibfaul1 3.4.2 (here I do not have a newer version listed in the library manager in arduino 2.1.1)
U8g2 by olivier 2.35.30
WiFiManager by tzapu 2.0.17
ezButton by ArduinoGetStarted.com 1.0.4

Once you have downloaded all of them, now for the second file swap, go into the documents on your computer then the Arduino and libraries folder where you will have folders with all the libraries you just downloaded.

Now download another ZIP from Github by Robgold from here

https://github.com/dzikakuna/ESP32_radio_evo3/tree/main/src/ESP32_radio_evo3.19/Arduino/libs

This file AudioI2Scommit.....

You unzip and copy the contents of this folder.

Then go to documents / Arduino / libraries / ESP32-audioI@S-master / SRC /

And there you remove everything that is there and winnow out the ones you extracted earlier from the AudioI2Scommit file.

Now you select the ESP32-S3 board and COM port (of course you should install the CH343 driver for the ESP board beforehand so that Windows sees it correctly)

Now you go to Github again here

https://github.com/dzikakuna/ESP32_radio_evo3/tree/main/src/ESP32_radio_evo3.19

And here is the Arduino configuration file, view this screenshot for yourself and set up the ESP board configuration as shown in the screenshot.

Now after all these moves you should be able to compile and upload to the ESP board correctly.

And by the way, if you want to load the software of the master, you will need other libraries which you will have to download through the library manager, but I can write you about that tomorrow because today I do not remember them by heart.
