Optional: Add Bluetooth proxy support

#bluetooth_proxy:

If I enable the Bluetooth proxy, the device does not activate, and when I try to connect it I get the following log:

[mon3y78]

Am I the only one with this problem?

[edwardtfn]

I don’t use Bluetooth proxy on my device, so I cannot say. However, both BT and Media Player are known for being very memory hungry, so you are probably getting some of the memories full. And we may be able to reallocate some bytes here and there to fix this…

As you are able to collect logs via serial, would be possible to collect a stack trace as suggested here: https://esphome.io/guides/troubleshooting/#getting-a-stack-trace-from-crashes

[edwardtfn]

Also, could you please try adding this to your device’s yaml?

esp32:
  framework:
    advanced:
      loop_task_stack_size: 16384

This will double the memory allocated for look task stack, which is popular on this kind of issues.

and reboot

[edwardtfn]

If I understood it correctly, before it was crashing at boot time. Then after adding the loop_task_stack_size: 16384 it boots fine, but then crashes (with all those memory related messages) when you try to play something.
Is that correct?

If that is the case, I can look on how to make that media player http client use PSRAM instead, but that is more something in ESPHome side…
I will take a look later. 😉
