Example for Ethernet URL as stream?

[Zebble]

Are there any examples to use a URL over Ethernet as a stream instead of WiFi?

I was going to try using a TTGO T-Internet-POE board which uses a LAN8720 ethernet chip:

I'm trying this as I was trying to stream an MP3-based internet radio station to a Bluetooth speaker and had issues. I'm assuming trying to use WiFi and Bluetooth is an issue as it is with other projects, so I'm hoping Ethernet will resolve.

Thanks for any advice!

Just have a look at the examples-communications directory

Thanks @pschatzmann! I did do some poking around before I posted this, and didn't find any Ethernet-specific examples. Only WiFi or ESPNOW seemed to shown, unless I'm missing something?

To my knowledge this uses the same TCP/IP API in Arduino...

I was able to get some code going with Ethernet. I wasn't able to get an A2DP speaker as output though, so I tried SPDIF instead. It worked OK with WiFi (some dropouts, have not done any tuning), but kept getting ETH Connected/Disconnected events as soon as the loop started. I'm going to try I2S instead, as soon as some MAX98357's arrive (today).

If you don't want to wait you can test with the AnalogAudioStream and some earphones...

... but I want to make things more complicated! 😄
Yes, I will give that a try and update this discussion.
