rpi-buildroot Meuh! Player

Synopsis

This project is a Web radio player, based on rpi-buildroot (https://github.com/gamaral/rpi-buildroot) It uses MPD (Music Player Daemon) and MPC. The rasberry starts to play the radio at bootup.

How to build

Simply follow the build and SD card setup instructions in https://github.com/gamaral/rpi-buildroot, but use the raspberrypi_meuh_defconfig instead of the default one.

Motivation

The aim is to demonstrate the power of buildroot to quickly build a light Web radio player, that boots fast (the radio starts to play in less than 20 seconds) It works headless.

This is a proof of concept, which does not mean that it cannot be fun, the target radio example is the famous http://www.radiomeuh.com

What's next

Next steps will be to add lcd touch screen support, to change the radio station and control the output volume.

Beside that, another project is to use RPI/Buildroot as a Bluetooth backend, for playing sound from a bluetooth source onto an amplifier. Coming soon !
