OrPiNoob Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) I am a newbie in Orange pi or similar Boards. I have only some experience with arduino and similar. On my Windows 7 pc are all my music stored. I want to stream the played music to my local wlan. And receive/play the stream with a OPi. What do i need to stream the played music from Windows? What is the best choice of Orange pi for this? Do i need only one OPi or two (one for send and one to receive)? Thank you for help. Edited March 1, 2018 by OrPiNoob
phyr080 Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Hi i've started to use Orange Pi's for the same use! for now i've used a orange pi zero adding a wifi dongle. (as read on this forum, internal wifi is creepy and doesnt work really) after installed armbian on a sdcard, you need to connect a lan cable to the board and power it, soon you can have a ssh access entering root user and 1234 password by default. After added users, upgraded and setted hostname, locales and network(by armbian-config tool) i've enabled first "audio" kernel module, and reboot. Now you can enable bluetooth software too by armbian-config, but you need to add another bluetooth dongle to the board. Now i've found "Shairport Sync" that enable a "Airplay", so if you have an iphone or mac could access easilly, if you have android you could use "AllConnect" Apphttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuxera.streambels&hl=it i've tested it and works good!https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync to install you need only to do this "apt-get install shairport-sync" Also you need to create a physical audio connection to the pins board by RCA or JACK 3.5mm like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaorAVgsxW0 now using "AllConnect" app must see your new airplay device, and could send music streams by your phone. From windows and linux, i think you could send to airplay devices directly by a player with airplay plugin, i think iTunes works....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRnvvkBl62k I'had also found this project, but never tested.... soon i'll try it https://github.com/BaReinhard/Super-Simple-Raspberry-Pi-Audio-Receiver-Install
