Dear list,
I'm sending 3 messages related to the same project...
- I'm using readanysf~ on a headless Rasperry Pi, running Raspbian, and it
works mostly fine, except for short audio dropouts every once in a while. I don't know how to configure readanysf~, and I would like to know whether this could be a problem with the audio buffer. Increasing it would solve the problem ?
I would try increasing the internal buffer of readanysf~.
See the readanysf~ help file
the following will start it with 2 audio channels, each with 32 buffer chunks of 256 samples.
[readanysf~ 2 32 256(
If increasing that doesn't solve it, it may be your PD buffer that needs increasing.
- Using readanysf~ to read web radio streams, is it possible to know when
a steady connection has been established (after all the redirections and trials), so that I can send [play( at the right moment ? My patch starts automatically, and for now I have hard coded a delay between the [open( and [play( messages which isn't always sufficient depending on the radio.
again, see the help file. There is a "ready" message as well as a "cache" message that will give you info on when a file is ready to play and how much has already pre-buffered (from stream or disk).
best -august.
