Thanks @cicciocb on the help section showing new version.
No, the AAC format is not supported.
Seeing the help file, the VS1053B Audio Decoder shows support for AAC format in function VS1053.PLAY file$ - but this seems only for local stored files on the sd card and can the function can process ACC formats.
Your no answer is likely that PLAY.STREAM audio processing does not support AAC - any future addition of AAC format later on?
Hi,
the AAC is supported by the VS1053B because it is supported by the chip itself. In fact the VS1053B is not a simple audio DAC but a CODEC chip (a DECoder in this case) that includes the support for many audio encoding format.
If you really want to have an universal web radio, I strongly suggest to use it.
About the PLAY.AAC, or the PLAY.STREAM including the AAC format, I included them some time ago into an old version
Code: [Local Link Removed for Guests]
Version 1.53.8
- File Manager Page
- Merged connection status and Reconnect button in upper left (same as the Editor page)
- Option.psk psram_mini (to be documented and renamed)
- VGA
- Reduced the strength of the signals from 3 to 1 (less EMI)
- New command VGA.HORIZONTAL value to set the horizontal position of the image
- Sound (experimental)
- Implemented the support for the AAC format
- Command PLAY.AAC file$
- Command PLAY.STREAM_AAC url$
- Command SOUND.BEGIN priority, core, memory
but I removed because the AAC decoder requires too much CPU power so that the decoding experience is not good.
