set snapclient name at runtime

[stonstoff]

By default the snapclient name can be set using the constant CONFIG_SNAPCAST_CLIENT_NAME.
Is it instead also possible to set the snapclient name at runtime?

I you would have checked the documentation, you would have found this method!

So, I checked the documentation and indeed found the "setHostName" method but I can't figure out how to call it in my program ...
In the SnapClientI2S example, I tried "client.setHostname()", "out.setHostname()", even (out of desperation) "opus.setHostname()" but nothing works ...
Could you please provide a code sample demonstrating the correct use of that method ? Thanks

[pschatzmann]

If you check the documentation, this mthod is on the SnapProcessor class!
From the SnapClient you can call snapProcessor() to access the SnapProcessor object....

Thanks for the fast answer ...

For the benefit of the noobs like me who spent too much time scratching their head on that trivial problem ... :

You need to instantiate an object first :
SnapProcessor mySnapProcessor;

then pass that object to the client
client.setSnapProcessor(mySnapProcessor);

and finally pass the new hostname to the method
mySnapProcessor.setHostName("ESP32_Snapclient");

Took me a while to figure out.

[pschatzmann]

Why not directly calling client.snapProcessor().setHostName("ESP32_Snapclient"); as proposed ?

Even easier, thanks !
