TheOldPresbyope, thank you! Solution works like charm.

Tim, i've mentioned situation when there is an album of Diana Krall for example, but in some tracks there is featured artist, so in library I see not only Diana Krall, but this artist too with one track inside. MPDroid allows to choose tag for using - artist or album artist, so in this case library looks clean and tidy, i see only Diana Krall =) Maybe there is a way do the same in Moode?

Hi Alexey,

If u know a little Linux ssh, email tim at moodeaudio dot org and I'll send u a modification to the Library loader routine that u can test.

Hi,

I'd never tried this before but if u have a couple of Pi's and one of them has USB attached disk it can be used as a NAS for the other Pi.

Attached screenshot shows NAS config from one of my systems (RP1) that is using another system (RP5) that has an attached USB drive.

For Remote directory I used USB but could also have used USB/<disk label> if the other system had more than one USB disk attached and I only wanted to use one of them.

For userid and password I used pi and raspberry

-Tim

20x4 LCD

Just wanted to say a big thanks for the great software.

I've managed to get everything working how I like it except for one thing. I bought a cheap 20x4 LCD module with PCF8574 I2C piggyback online. I've got it working to show time and date but simply can't get it to show info from /var/www/nowplaying.txt. Does anyone have any example working scripts that I could look at.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Loving Moode, so much so that I just donated a bit! Especially since I discovered how to search for and add albums to the playlist.

One thing I was wondering... I play music (flacs) off a NAS. Is it possible to configure Moode so that it automatically updates its database (say in the middle of the night), so that it picks up any rips that I might have put on the NAS during the previous day?

Thanks

Hi,

These are bugs which I'm planning to release fixes for as a downloadable patch file for in-place updating :)

BUG #1: MPD SEGV when Player left idle for long period of time typically overnight. Frequency of this occurring is rare. Cause unknown but suspect bug in either MPD or systemd.
FIX: MPD added to watchdog monitor, watchdog started from worker instead of rc.local. This will ensure that MPD is automatically restarted of it ever crashes thus eliminating the need for hard reboot or ssh.

BUG #2: circular symlinks being established for /mnt/NAS and /mnt/SDCARD. Caused by code in worker.php plus different behavior of new moodeOS.
FIX: circular symlinks removed from /mnt/NAS and /mnt/SDCARD, code removed from worker.php

Regards,
Tim

Hey Tim, that's cool to read, let me know if you want me to test your patch before releasing it. I've got a few more days to go before leaving for 10 days abroad.

I got it working, but with 16x2 lcd + i2c
For 20x4 just change the code.

Mono sound problem

Hello to all and thanks to Tim Curtis for this great player. I'm running Moode Audio 2.5 in my Raspberry 2 with Hifiberry Dac + pro hat board. The DAC+pro is connected via i2s to DDDAC da-converter board. Now the problem is that I get only mono sound when playing regular 16bit/44.1kHz flac files. When I play high-res files (24bit/88.1/96/192kHz) I get beautiful stereo sound. I suppose this is somehow related to the Hifiberry Dac+pro driver in Moode?

I have chosen the Hifiberry Dac+pro device in Moode Audio's settings. Also the HW volume Control is disabled, but is it just because of i2s connection?

When I use the RCA output connectors of the Hifiberry Dac+pro I get stereo sound with all the files. So what's wrong with my i2s setup?

Edit: I managed to Google this discussion on the Rune Audio forum: RuneAudio with RaspberryPI and DDDAC1794-NOS : DIY and tweaks • RuneAudio Forum
On the second page there's some instruction about how to get stereo from flac files. I'm afraid that my skills with Linux are not good enough to to do these tricks... Or is this even the way to go with Moode?

Hi,

Update to Moode 2.6 and then configure DAC+Pro as follows:

1) System config
- I2S audio device = HifiBerry DAC+ Pro

2) Reboot

3) MPD config
- Audio output = I2S audio device
- Volume control = Hardware
- APPLY

4) Customize
- Hardware volume control, Logarithmic curve = Yes
- UPDATE

If u still have issues, email tim at moodeaudio dot org and I'll help troubleshoot :)

Regards,
Tim

Tim,
Thanks for releasing Moode 2.6! I'm upgrading from Moode 2.6 TR7 and I'd like to save some of the custom playlist that I created and move them to Moode 2.6, can you tell me how to do it? I'm able to SSH into Raspberry Pi and copy files no problem.
Thanks again,
Barry

Hi Barry,

The custom playlist files are located in:

/var/lib/mpd/playlists
