About Simple Protocol Player

This is a media player that will playback the audio streamed by PulseAudio's simple protocol module.

The idea is to watch videos from XBMC running on Ubuntu, but with the audio on an Android phone.

For Window's users, a utility has been published on github that will allow the same functionality.

Please see much more documentation at the app's website http://kaytat.com/simple_protocol_player.

Disable keyboard auto popup please, and it would become totally perfect.

Thank you! Works great! Before I've discovered this I used SoundWire, but it consumed too much %CPU and now I'm happy with this app, one thing I can think of that would improve usability is the ability to auto-reconnect on losing connection.

Works great! If you take feature requests, if not then disregard. One feature is the ability to remain streaming at all times (where Android apps cannot interrupt playback) and another is maybe an option to hide the notification icon. I'd like to have this running in background at all times while my Linux chroot is running :) thanks!

It works quite well! I only really wanted to use it for my old phone (which is permanently hooked up to my amp already) and this version is not compatible with Android version <4.0, but that was surprisingly easy to fix. Submitted a pull request on GitHub containing a patch for 2.2+ support.

Q70%
by Q####:

Works well when using USB tethering, however sound only outputs when using the phone speaker, and the audio stops approx. 0.75 seconds after connecting earphones, or when connecting to bluetooth speakers

P70%
by P####:

AWESOME WORK!!! I can use this to play audio from a chroot I set up on my android phone! No lag, no choppiness, just epic. Probably because I'm playing a local stream I set up with pulseaudio inside the chroot but still.

~200 ms additional latency via WiFi compared to host playback. Easy to set up.

I wanted to use my phone as an external "sound card" because my laptop's headphone jack broke. It is much easier to use this app by adding a dummy (module-null-sink) sink to PulseAudio and setting module-simple-protocol-tcp to record its monitor source, so the phone appears as an output in e.g. Gnome. The sound is sometimes choppy even over USB tethering (RNDIS). Unfortunately, my phone doesn't seem to support ADB reverse port forwarding, but I guess it could improve the latency a bit.

Streamed mp3 over 802.11g; choppy but appreciable

N70%
by N####:

Works fine trough usb tethering, no chopped audio. I send the audio from my computer to my phone trough usb tethering+simple protocol player, then from the phone to my Bluetooth headset. Works perfectly!

I had the same idea for MythTV. Somewhat choppy but it works
