Update to version 1.22 (Bookworm) and 2.18 (Trixie) is already available

Post by hudiy »

We are happy to announce that Hudiy 1.22/2.18 is now available. You can find the release highlights below:

Equalizer

We optimized the DSP equalizer algorithms to reduce CPU usage. We also added Bass and Treble boost effects, allowing you to fine-tune high and low frequencies independently. While similar to the "Loudness" effect, this feature offers more granular control, letting you adjust both the frequency threshold and the gain.

The bass and treble boost effects can also be controlled via the API.

Updated equalizer presets for the new algorithms can be found on our GitHub: https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... .json#L146

Bluetooth

We have improved the connection process between the phone and Hudiy. The HFP profile now connects in a more reliable way, especially during initial pairing.

Dummy profiles

We added the ability to register dummy HFP and A2DP profiles directly from Hudiy. This should simplify the setup when Android Auto audio is routed through another Bluetooth device (e.g., a factory head unit), while Hudiy handles the Android Auto projection. When these features are enabled, profile registration by OS components (e.g., PipeWire) should be disabled to prevent conflicts.

Direct renderer

We have adapted the direct renderer for the recently released 6.18 kernel on Raspberry Pi.

Other improvements
  • Ability to position and size overlays relatively to the Hudiy window.
  • Ability to overwrite colors in both dark and light themes.
  • Ability to enable/disable caching HTML/JS content loaded by the WebView (widgets, overlays, applications).
  • New API message to track the last visible action.

---------------------------

You can download and install the update using the updater program – https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... d#updating

Please note that the updater performs an incremental update (version by version) to avoid the OS corruption during the update process. If you are using an older version of Hudiy, you may need to run the updater multiple times. You can check your current version in Menu -> Hudiy -> Settings -> About.

A description of all new features and configuration options is available on our GitHub in the updated documentation – GitHub.

Hi Hudiy,
May I know why echo-cancel playback feed into hudiy_equalizer_sink and not the reverse?

Hello,
The default routing should be as in the picture below. It didn't change between the versions. Echo cancel always outputs to the audio device.

Thanks. It seems like Hudiy still using a mixture of pipewire/wireplumber and pulseaudio for the audio setup. Is my understanding correct?

PipeWire has a PulseAudio-compatible interface and it's a drop-in replacement for PulseAudio. PipeWire and WirePlumber are standard components to handle audio in Debian/Raspberry Pi OS and there is no other 'clean' way to serve audio from an application's POV.

When exactly does the issue happen? After a Hudiy relaunch or after a Raspberry Pi boot?

If you quit Hudiy and relaunch it immediately, the dongle might not reset in time and get stuck in an undetectable state. In such case you can set enumerateUsb to false in https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... md#autobox
