Virtual audio playback

[vdb4141]

Hi, Is it possible to define a mp3 player as audio source ? For example, airplay or mp3 player directly on raspberry Tks in advance.

I'm currently trying to figure out getting an MP3 on the RPi to be the source of the audio.

There is another thread here where a couple of people worked out how to get this to work with Raspotify: https://github.com/naztronaut/dancyPi-audio-reactive-led/issues/24

You could try looking at the configuration posted there and see if that helps. You just need to be able to grab the airplay signal on the Pi like they're doing with Raspotify.

Just a quick update that I did get this out and you can play mp3 directly on the Pi for the lights to work. See written tutorial here: https://www.easyprogramming.net/raspberrypi/audio_reactive_holiday_leds.php

And it's in the no_mic branch of this repo: https://github.com/naztronaut/dancyPi-audio-reactive-led/tree/no_mic
