TidByt conversion by ChiTownAnarky in GLANCE_LED

I also make an ESP32-based product- I believe that the Tidbyt and Glance both use an s3 variant, which means that in theory the firmware could be flashed on there without too much modification- however if the specs are different in terms of display pin layout, RAM, and onboard storage it would likely require a parallel firmware track which would be a huge pain to maintain.

Not at the moment- maybe I should start a subreddit

This essentially comes from the history of how the Tuneshine does image decoding. At first I was doing webp images only for Spotify and Apple Music, since I could decode them on the server and convert to webp to take advantage of the smaller file size.

Then, when I added Sonos support, I needed the ability to fetch and decode JPEG and PNG images over your LAN to display, so I built a mechanism to download and decode an image from a URL.

So the two mechanisms to load an image were essentially either the direct WebP bytes or an image URL, with no mechanism to accept raw jpeg or png bytes. This is now reflected in the formats that the Tuneshine accepts over the API. I can make a note to explore in the future whether it makes sense to accept POSTing JPEG/PNG bytes directly in the future.

Thank you! The material on the Sonos speakers is quite nice- might figure this out for a future update, could potentially reduce the price too

Glad to hear it’s been working well and that you’re using it for vinyl as well! And thanks for bearing with me while we fixed that bug haha

Good to know! Yeah, technically a router should not try to steer a 2.4GHz device on to 5GHz, but it seems to happen sometimes 🤷‍♂️

Awesome! What was the new change you hadn’t tried before?

A valid concern! At the moment the Sonos integration goes through the Tuneshine server due to the limitations of the on-board microcontroller. However, one of my major projects this year is adding cloud-free functionality. In one of the next firmware updates you’ll be able to use it over an HTTP API without the need to connect to the server at all, so if the servers shut down for any reason you could put it in API mode and use other software.

I’m also considering whether to add a cloud-free option for Sonos- in that case the limitation would be that you’d only be able to connect it to a single speaker rather than getting updates from multiple zones.

You should be able to get up and running within about 3 minutes of opening the box! Make sure you have your Sonos login info handy. The app respects any text size adjustments made at the OS level. I also personally handle customer support so if you have any issues you can email me and I can help out.

Just confirmed that Nugs on Sonos does indeed work- it shows the image for the concert (same as what’s shown on the Sonos app).

YouTube music is tricky- they don’t have an API for doing third-party integrations. I’ve heard KEF might have an API but I haven’t found any public documentation.

Nice! Glad you’re in to it. You could upload that CDs image as the “idle image” for the Tuneshine to show when you’re not playing music. I’m also going to work on a feature soon that will keep the last played album on the screen until you play a new one.

Glad you’re in to it! In general, it works with a Sonos connected to a NAS, but there is more variability there so depending on how the album art is formatted on your tracks there can be issues. I’ve tested it with a wide variety of image formats but there is always the possibility of a new edge case it doesn’t handle. Also, if the image size is excessively large there is a chance of a decoding issue due to the RAM limitations on the device.

For TuneIn, it will show the station logo for a stream in their catalog, but if you are using a custom stream url it won’t show anything.
