Ah, yep. with the source device playing direct from the phone speaker, the speaker audio stream was perfect. Just needed some offset adjustment.

It would be a 5 star app for me if it did factor in bluetooth on all devices though. I discovered soundseeder one day when my friend and I were at a park with our speakers and wanted to play around with distributed audio streaming. There was another app called Chorus which managed to stream without stuttering but had no way to manually adjust offset.
[Android Apps and Games] repulse:
That's a great job, but just a suggestion :

Will you add the ability to use a external hard drive ?

I mean, plug HDD on raspberry pi, and using android device as remote to play music from hdd using raspberry audio ? Like PiMusicBox i think..

Cheers !
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Ok, thanks for testing.

I was able to reproduce your issues. I can't promise to get this fixed, but I'll do my best. :)

Chorus is working completely different, it copies a media file to all connected phones and tries to start the playback simultaneously.

SoundSeeder is streaming the music...
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
The next version will include an UPnP Browser. You will be able to access Media Server and network storages via WiFi if they support upnp/dlna.

I'm sure you will find a dlna server software for the rapsberry pi too. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
Would be cool if you could use one phone as a microphone and broadcast to other speakers. Would it be possible with the current soundseeder?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
This is not yet possible, no.

I'll look into this, but there will be a significant delay and it will be difficult to get the output of the speakers synced with each other...

V1.1.0 - UPnP support

Hello again...

SoundSeeder was just updated to v1.1.0.

This release adds support for UPnP/DLNA media servers and network storages.

Use the new UPnP network browser to select and play music that is located on your media server.

The update is available in the first post and via Google Play.

Hope you like it! :)

[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
This should now be fixed.

But please note, that syncronized playback with BT speakers might be difficult...
[Android Apps and Games] SuperHelix:
Your app is getting better with every single update!

UPnP feature works fine with my Windows 8 PC. :good:

Update V1.1.1 (bugfix release)

- Fixed loading via upnp if song duration is unavailable
[Android Apps and Games] C0qRouge:
Hi! Is there a way to control the speaker from a windows pc? The only way I can think of right now, is to have a VM with android running on your pc, not that easy setup.

Is there an easier way like maybe setting up a local streaming server?

As I understand, right now only DLNA / UPNP browsing is supported? I really would love to see the player app as a DLNA device. That way I could use Windows media player to control the playback.

Beside all that: really a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hi and thank you. :)

You are right, the only way to control soundseeder from a pc moment, is to run it in an Android VM.

But running the player as dlna renderer is a nice idea... I wrote it on my list, please stay tuned. :)
[Android Apps and Games] C0qRouge:
ok, thank you for your reply.

Maybe it is the wrong thread here. But I rephrase the question: As Soundseeder can listen to radio stations, can you setup some kind of private radio station and control this radio station from your pc?

And what is meant by "Audio Files via HTTP"?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Yes, you can do that with the good old Winamp. :)

Install the ShoutCast DSP plugin, start a local shoutcast DNAS server and connect SoundSeeder to its URL...

Thanks [MENTION=5372395]JekApps[/MENTION], SoundSeeder has made a great development since your first release!

Does anyone know a way to stream the system sound of a windows PC as http mp3 stream?

I'd like to connect soundseeder to my pc, but not only to Winamp like posted above...
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Stream Windows sound with SoundSeeder

Take a look at "Stream what you hear" for Windows by Sebastien Warin: http://www.streamwhatyouhear.com/download/

It streams all Sounds as mp3 stream via HTTP/DLNA. It works fine with SoundSeeder and lets you stream music from every application or online music service like Spotify to your speakers.

Recommended setting is MP3 with 44100Hz, 16bit Stereo and 320kbit/s.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperHelix:
:D Thank you. A very nice addition to soundseeder!

I'll use it for my next party to select the music with my pc and play it wirelessly to three different rooms :good:

Update V1.1.5

I've uploaded release v1.1.5 for the SoundSeeder Music Player.

Main focus of this update is a bugfix for devices with the Mediatek chipset (like Lenovo P780, Micromax A120 and many others).

On these devices the last 15-20s of each track were skipped. :rolleyes:

You can find the new apk in the first post, on Google Play and Amazon.

Is here anyone who can help me investigating a bug on the Huawei Honor 6 plus?

A user reported that soundseeder crashes directly after it was started, without giving an option to send a bug report.

Windows and Raspberry Pi integration

For now I've used soundseeder as portable multispeaker app, to connect with friends. But I'm now also trying to build a multiroom audio solution with soundseeder.

I want to use the following components and would like now what you guys think about it:

Galaxy Tab 10.1 as central Player and controler (via WiFi)

Raspberry Pi in the living room, connected to audio system via hdmi (network via LAN to reduce WiFi connectivity issues)

Raspberry Pi in the sleeping room, connected to compact hifi system via linout/aux (LAN)

HTC desire smartphone as portable speaker / mainly for the kitchen, connected to an active speaker (WiFi)

Windows PC running JAMCast (https://getjamcast.com) as DLNA source for every arbitrary audio source (Spotify, TuneIn)

NAS (1TB storage) as dlna music library (via LAN)

Did I miss anything?

And has anyone experience in using soundseeder and WiFi extenders?
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Looks like a nice and simple solution.

The windows pc with jamcast is the only thing i don't really like. Ok, its the only way I know to stream Spotify on multiple speakers, but you can't control it from your tablet. How do you change the music?
[Android Apps and Games] SuperHelix:
jamcast provides each supported service as dlna folder. So I have it available directly in soundseeder and can access it via the dlna browser.

BubbleUpnp also provides access to Google Music via dlna. That would be another possibility...
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Soundseeder should work fine with Wifi extenders / repeater, but keep in mind that the extender will reduce your WiFi speed to the half (for all devices connected to it).

Its definetely a good idea to connect your RasPi to the LAN by wire.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Is there any way to get a sorting function in the playlist? Would like to sort by filename.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Would you like to change the sorting in the library or of your selected songs in the current queue?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Ideally both, but preferably the queue. I play music by folder, so adding a whole folder to a queue puts it in alphabetical order (because I have songs from multiple albums and artists in a folder).
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Ok, thanks for your feedback! Sorting of the current queue shouldn't be much work and will come soon... :)
[Android Apps and Games] C0qRouge:
[MENTION=713801]jekatt[/MENTION]

did you spend some thoughts on the idea to let the player act as a DLNA device to be controlled by e.g. PC?

And a second question: could we let the player connect a chromcast as a speaker?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Yes. SoundSeeder as dlna renderer is on my roadmap, but this will take some time for implementing and testing. I'm afraid it will be much work to support the most common dlna controllers.

To support the Chromecast as speaker is also a nice idea, but I'm not sure if the chromecast api support multiple connections. And synced playback might become challenging...

Would be fine to have an Iphone Version

Hello,

bought your fine piece of software.

But it would be fine if there was a Iphone/Ipad Speaker Version (client).

Did you planned a version ?

A small 2 Person Bluetooth Mode would also be fine, without WLAN (energy saving).

And a special Idea would be "Crosstalk Mode": Talk to Users over the Mic (maybee two way ?) !! (cool feature) per Talk to push ! optional the music will be dimmed in that time, like the user db input.

This feature could be used also for museums, special sport events or Bike Driver Intercom. It don`t have to be music you can use also Audiobooks or Instructions !

A new Selling Field for your App.

Best

musicmaniac
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Hello [MENTION=330818]musicmaniac[/MENTION].

Thanks for your support! :)

An iOS version of soundseeder isn't planned at the moment. I don't own an iPhone or a MAC and I need both to implement the application...

- Bluetooth mode: I don't really see any benefit in using BT. The realtime streaming requires a solid and fast connection and I'm not sure if a bluetooth connection would handle the traffic. The power consumption of WiFi might be higher, but not such a big problem.

- "Crosstalk mode" - A two-way streaming of the microphone input (like Walkie talkies) sounds nice but isn't the focus of this app and streaming from Speaker device to player would require some major changes. But a one way transmission from player to speakers is worth thinking about...

My current main todo is integrating more music services like google play and spotify. Many users request these features...
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Tracks that are played via dlna are not accessed via their filename, as they are stored on your harddrive.

Every track has an url and only the dlan server (your NAS) decides what this URL looks like.

Please choose "sort by artist, title or filename" with these tracks...
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Ok, thank you. A properties dialog would be nice, to view all details of a song, like MP3 tags, location, etc... :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:

You already can enter and play your own urls/streams.

Go to "My Music" Mode, press the "Add Music" button in the top right and select "URL".

You can add multiple URLs to your queue and save it as playlist.

Update v1.3.1

SoundSeeder Player v1.3.1 and Speaker v1.1.1 released:

This update brings some significant improvements for the streaming quality and connection stability.

The buffersizes have been optimized and the thread priorities for decoding and streaming have been increased.

There is also a new setting to adjust the new auto-sync algorithm. You can set how often and how fast soundseeder re-syncs the playback of each speaker automatically.

Please let me know if you face any issues...

Greets

jens
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
The connection quality really seems to be improved, great work! Can't notice any interruptions any more!

Can you tell me more about the auto syncing? Whats is exactly the difference between the low and the high setting?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
The auto syncing works different whether your speaker device is running android 4.4+ or not.

If your speaker has kitkat or lollipop, soundseeder tries to detect if player and speaker have become out of sync.

On the "low"-setting it sends a resync-request when the playback is more than 25ms out of sync. The higher the sync-intensitiy is set, the earlier a resync event is sent.

If your android version is older than kitkat, the sync-intensitiy only defines, how often a sync event is sent. (every 15s up to every 5 minutes)
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Ok, seems to work fine on my devices.

I've activated the new setting "auto pause when last speaker disconnects". Could you change the setting that it pauses the playback only, if the last speaker disconnects when the player device is muted?!
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thats the way it was supposed to work. I'll check this and fix it in the next release... Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] sverige80:
Thanks man, your support is awesome! :o

(I have searched the thread without finding a solution to my problem)

Hello.

I am unable to find any other speakers on my wifi.

I have followed the instructions, tried to search for other speakers and I also entered the IP of the other devices who act as speakers.

My host is my OnePlus One, rooted and running CM11s.

My Speaker is my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 running stock TW Kitkat. This unit is set to speaker mode upon boot and I have also set it to speaker mode manually.

Both devices are running latest version of SoundSeeder from Google Play.

My Wifi is fine. I can find other devices on the same wifi using other apps and I can stream net radio using SoundSeeder on any device.

Is there anything else I can do in order to find what's causing my problems?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
I don't think its a problem with your devices. Maybe your hotspot is blocking some ports?

Are the ip adresses of your devices in the same subnet? Are you using a wifi extender?

You can also try to enter the players IP adress in the speaker. Press on "Select Player" and then selecht "Add"...
[Android Apps and Games] doo2doo2:
I am having problems with the Java speaker on laptop.

well it works at start for 4 seconds then it like starts bugging, even after I close the cmd it keeps bugging like that for like 20 seconds then stop. sample: picosong.com/jNEq/

well it got better after using mono instead of stereo on my pc, but it still starts bugging after a minute or two.

one more question, am I able to use this app to send audio from other music players to my computer ? if so how ?
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Can you tell me some details about your laptop?

Which windows / java versions are you using? Onboard soundcard or usb sound?

And please start the speaker in debug mode (argument "-d") and check the output. Anything suspicious?

And no, at the moment you can only stream music, that is played in soundseeder. The next update will bring back google music support, but external apps will not be supported in the next time.

SoundSeeder v1.4 - Google Music support

Here is SoundSeeder v1.4 with fully integrated Google Music support.

You can now import your online library into SoundSeeder and select Google Music tracks the same way like locally stored files.

[IMG="Google Music support"]http://soundseeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Screenshot_GM1-250x444.png[/IMG]

If you want to use the old (cast to SoundSeeder) feature with the Google Music Player 5.5, please don't update SoundSeeder to v1.4.

SoundSeeder now supports 4 different media sources:

- Locally stored music files

- Online Radio Stations

- Upnp/dlna network storages

- Google Music

Also new in v1.4:

- Turkish localization added

- Improved usability (UI and menus)

- Lots of minor bugs fixed

All links and more infos are available in the opening post.

Please let me know what you think about the new features!

Question about accounts...

First, I want to say, an absolutely great app! I've only just seen it, and it is now one of my favorite apps.

I'm about to buy the full version, but can I ask, if I have the paid version, and I'm streaming to my friend's (with the free version) phones, will the timeout and 2-device limit still apply?

They all have different accounts, and I can't expect them to pay each themselves.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
Thank you very much :o

Only the Player-device needs the premium license to connect to more than two devices. If you have the premium version, your friends can keep using the free version of soundseeder. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] TalionDread:
This app is freaking awesome. It's very exciting. Who doesn't have a handful of phones lying around doing nothing? I have already purchased the premium and will donate more towards its development when I can. I would love to see Pandora support integrated directly. I'm currently playing around with the streamwhatyouhear app but integrated support like google music would be even better. Is there any way to make the radio/google music stay running on the "speaker" when the "player" drops off wifi temporarily or reboots? Again, this app is fantastic. I was looking for a cheaper multi-room audio system alternative. Thanks so much for your efforts.
[Android Apps and Games] jekatt:
:o Thank you!

Pandora isn't available here in germany so i've no chance to develop an integration into soundseeder at the moment, sorry.

The player is the central main component of soundseeder, there is no way to listen to your streams without the player device beeing connected to the speakers. What you need is some kind of remote control for a dedicated player device, that is running somewhere in your house and always connected to your network... An interessting idea, i will think about it!
