Gregory's Server@hailey that’s super neat. I really wish there was better AES67 & PTP support in Linux, because all this stuff done closed-source in a pro audio could come across to open source and consumer network stuff so easily. One day I’ll have time to work on it.

 @hailey nice :) I use MoOde Audio on a raspberry pi at home for a web interface to play back audio on my Hifi, this seems like something that would be great to add into that project for multi-zone audio, instead of relying on reverse-engineerings of airplay and Sonos protocols with so many layers of subtle bugs and compatibility problems… @dickenhobelix @hailey a year ago I couldn't get linuxptp to work at all, but I admit I haven't tried again recently. @dickenhobelix @hailey that's very good to hear. I also work a fair bit with Dante & AES67 at work and have various projects where interop with regular audio stack would be great. @s0 @hailey Dante is...well, special. Also Audinates's AES67 Implementation has had several Issues when I looked at it several years ago. But then I changed my employer and did not have access to the stacks, documentation and devices... Maybe stuff has improved since back then. If you care about Interop, I'd recommend to also have a look at Milan (that's basically an Interop Layer for AVB). Though, I am absolutely biased, because I coauthored some of the specs back in the day...  @dickenhobelix @s0 Is there a particularly good guide or other documentation you'd recommend to learning how to configure it properly for any given site? It looks great to learn from, and I think lifting its best ideas into bark's userland stack could be a cool idea @hailey @s0 One of the best resources that immediately comes to mind is Maciek's talk at netdev 0x16 https://youtu.be/Hs7oRukMuak The difficult thing about linuxptp is that you need to have quite a bit of knowledge about IEEE1588 or IEEE802.1as to tweak all of knobs correctly. It's a good stack, but not quite user friendly @hailey @s0 Ah, and one more important thing: until v4 linuxptp released new versions only ever 4 years or so, which is why most distros have terribly old versions with a few annoying bugs. Make sure to use at least v4 (they release bi quarterly starting with v4 afaik, but I don't know how long it will take Debian to pick up the latest versions). Most convenient way is to build from source... |
@s0 I borrowed some ideas from PTP in this at least!! :)
