The mpd_oled plugin in the Volumio plugin store uses an ALSA plugin (volumiofifo) that provides a copy of the audio on a FIFO. The balbuze plugin I was refering to provides a copy of the audio on the ALSA loopback device.
ahhh
I didn’t know
I’ll look at it, but don’t find it
@Adrii can you link it please?!
The link for it might be 200 messages back in this thread, or it might be in another thread. Maybe someone made a note of it and can repost it.
It’s in this post. Look for v0.0.45
thank… but this is mpd_oled plugin, not loopback device
It installs mpd_oled, but you could install your own version of mpd_oled afterwards, and if you have new mpd_oled options then you could make sure the defaults for these options are the values you want.
ok perfect… I’ll report soon
Ok, looking at the ALSA configuation of this version of the plugin it is also using volumiofifo. However, it includes a comment saying it is using loopback. Maybe @balbuze can say if there is an ALSA loopback version of the plugin, and where it can be downloaded?
I was a bit slow, this isn’t the ALSA loopback version of the plugin.
Hello.
No, there is no Loopback version… The version I mod was tu use volumiofifo. Now @supercrab included it in the official version.
can you made a loopback only plugin?
I have installed my version, but it’s still work the plugin version
Nov 09 20:40:11 volumio mpd_oled[8862]: mpd_oled: error: -t: unknown option
I just disabled mpd_oled plugin on volumio settings
Do you mean you want the plugin to have a configurable cava input method? I’m not sure I know what you’re asking for?
I want use my mpd_oled version with ALSA Loopback
Actually the plugin don’t work properly on my system
Playback become stuttering as hell when enabled, also fifo was non perfect on Volumio 2 because spectrum and playback was not always in sync
On moode can use loopback and it’s always in sync
The plugin doesn’t call mpd_oled
with -t
not sure what’s happening there? -t
isn’t supported by mpd_oled
either.
I have a branch of mpd_oled
that did support -t -e -v
but this is just for experimental purposes.
I’m talking about my own version
look at post 517
You’ll have to reinstall your version of mpd_oled
and put it into /usr/local/bin/
for the plugin to be able to use it.
@davidevinavil it would be easier for me to provide installation instructions for mpd_oled on Volumio if there was a Volumio plugin that simply configured copies of the audio. Such a plugin would also be useful for people who want a simple way to run other audio visualisers on Volumio.
Regarding your issue, if you are interested in hacking one of the mpd_oled plugins to make the audio copy using ALSA loopback then you may find the following mpd_oled issue of interest (load the loopback module, incorporate the loopback parts of the example configurations into the plugin’s ALSA configuration, and set mpd_oled -c
appropriately)
