I've created a simple plugin to enable playing a FM station using rtl_fm through LMS.
Your RTL SDR USB stick should be supported by your Debian system. Install rtl_sdr packages (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/rtl-sdr ) and rtl_fm is part of this package. You can check the USB stick by the rtl_test command. You should check that USB stick plays an FM station OK without LMS in case of problem such as poor reception due to antenna. Code: -------------------- rtl_fm -f 89.9M -s 200000 -r 44100 | aplay -r 44100 -f S16_LE -------------------- This plays the station at 89.9MHz. - the parameter to "-f" is numerical frequency so you can use 89.9M or 89.9e6 or 89900k. When testing the plugin on LMS you need to have a good test station that plays well with the above command. To install the plugin Use LMS WebUI Setting/Plugins and add the following repo. HTTP://DOWNLOADS.SOURCEFORGE.NET/PROJECT/BPAPLUGINS/REPO-RTLFMPLAY.XML Sourceforge can be unreliable so after "Restart" check plugin has been installed - this means RTLFMPlay is in "Active Plugins" list and the "RTLFMPlay" file type in WebUI Settings/Advanced/FileTypes Once plugin is installed - to play a station create a favorite with the pseudo URL "rtlfm:" so to play 96.4MHz - create a Favorite with url *rtlfm:96.4M* so to play 106.0MHz - create a Favorite with url *rtlfm:106M* The plugin is just a customisation of the WaveInput plugin. In case you want a simpler solution - WaveInput allows for input from audio line-in to be played on LMS players. So you could connected a FM/AM radio via headphones to a Line-in on an LMS host (e.g microphone socket on PC or USB ADC) but tuning would on the FM/AM radio. Using the SDR approach tuning can be done via a Favorite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82391 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
