This is the power of free software, and the power of taking real ownership of the hardware, taking it away from the spying eyes of the greedy corporations that "sell" these devices.

So #sendspin seems to become support in #pipewire 😍

I've noticed that the Sendspin client as implemented for web, via Firefox as packaged by Debian, crashes a lot, like at least once per song. Obviously needs some love.

The Python-based #Sendspin CLI client works like a charm; hasn't crashed at all in a day worth of music playing.

I couldn't get the Go client connect to the server. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

More #ESPhome shit today. A #SendSpin speaker for #MusicAssistant, using the Esparagus Louder.

Only one to start with, but then I might fill the house with speakers, always wanted multiroom audio.

So #resonate and #snapcast turn into #sendspin multiroom audio streaming and control protocol!

New experimental "Sendspin protocol" (formerly "Resonate") for streaming synchronized multi-room audio and HiFi music playback to multiple media player appliances and smart speakers running ESPHome on ESP32 or Linux on Raspberry Pi (Zero)

Update: Resonate has been renamed to “Sendspin” (i.e. “Sendspin Protocol/Server/Client”): https://www.sendspin-audio.com/ GitHub - Sendspin/spec: Specification of the Sendspin protocol Just a roadmap heads up to ESPHome tinkerers, not sure if this new experimental “Resonate protocol” will be usable on all ESPHome based audio output/input devices running on ESP32 (i.e. voice assistants, media player, and smart speaker hardware), but FYI, I heard it sounds like (pun intended) some Open Hom...

With the latest 2.7 release of Music Assistant with wonderful support for multi-room synchronised audio, I feel like I turned my #HomeAssistant -powered smart home into a dance club 🕺! Whatever room I go to, music follows me in sync. Multi-room synchronised music really provides a great vibe to our @homeassistant house, and the kids get pumped up and dance. Love it!

Thank you @homeassistant, @openhomefoundation and everyone involved! 🏠 ❤️

I've used VLC for years on my laptop to play music. Now that #MusicAssistant that runs in my #HomeAssistant smart home supports synchronized multi-device and multi-room audio (via its #Sendspin protocol), I'm trying out Music Assistant as my main audio player. A nice advantage is I don't have to have my laptop on to play music, radio, podcasts, etc.; I have a Music Assistant server that is running on a headless smart home machine, and various clients with speakers throughout the house.
