Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand the scenario. Can you provide an example?

-Tim

Okay,
It exists an extended tag called AlbumSort. If user fill it with something like « «year - album title» for example and moode can sort Albums not alphabetically but by exploiting AlbumSort tag, you got the trick

I tried to modify your mpd command modified-since (adding sort AlbumSort) to exploit this tag directly from Mpd when you create Json file but I can’t success.

MPD Documentation said:
find {TYPE} {WHAT} [...] [sort TYPE] [window START:END]

Finds songs in the db that are exactly WHAT. TYPE can be any tag supported by MPD, or one of the special parameters:

any checks all tag values

file checks the full path (relative to the music directory)

base restricts the search to songs in the given directory (also relative to the music directory)

modified-since compares the file's time stamp with the given value (ISO 8601 or UNIX time stamp)

WHAT is what to find.

sort sorts the result by the specified tag. The sort is descending if the tag is prefixed with a minus ('-'). Without sort, the order is undefined. Only the first tag value will be used, if multiple of the same type exist. To sort by "Artist", "Album" or "AlbumArtist", you should specify "ArtistSort", "AlbumSort" or "AlbumArtistSort" instead. These will automatically fall back to the former if "*Sort" doesn't exist. "AlbumArtist" falls back to just "Artist". The type "Last-Modified" can sort by file modification time.

window can be used to query only a portion of the real response. The parameter is two zero-based record numbers; a start number and an end number.

I was thinking to modify playerlib js to avoid sort on album if mpd already returned json sorted with this tag.

Samples from my current mpd database

Code:

song_begin: 01. Dead Inside.flac
Time: 263.946000
Title: Dead Inside
Album: Drones
AlbumArtist: Muse
AlbumSort: 2015 - Drones
Artist: Muse
Genre: Rock
Date: 2015
Track: 1

song_begin: 01. Sunburn.flac
Time: 234.626000
Title: Sunburn
Album: Showbiz
AlbumArtist: Muse
AlbumSort: 1999 - Showbiz
Artist: Muse
Genre: Rock
Date: 1999
Track: 1

Tim, this looks terrific.

@everybody else - FYI - This utility will work great as long as your NAS is advertising its IPC$ service.

I am currently mounting my NAS using NFS instead of Samba because of an assumed performance advantage. Not sure if this also applies to MoOde but I could imagine that library operations perform better this way.

Hi Eric,

Ok, i see what you are going after. I think you might want to try using AlbumSort instead of Album in the library loader, similar to how AlbumArtist can be used instead of Artist. I think it will be sorted ok in the JS w/o modifications.

Look in the function below.

function genLibrary($flat)

Thanks Tim,

this line do the trick and is fully backward compatible with no AlbumSort tag

:

$album = $flatData['AlbumSort'] ? $flatData['AlbumSort'] : ($flatData['Album'] ? $flatData['Album'] :'Unknown');

Regards.

Hi @koda59,

Nice

I could certainly incorporate that modification but do u think AlbumSort tag is used very often in collections, like AlbumArtist?

Really don't know but i think that i'm not the only one who want to have album sorted by date and not necessary by name.
AlbumSort tag seems to be the easiest way for me

Use case...when listening to an album and then wish to search collection for artist's contemporaries but can't recall or don't know names/albums...
Eg..Search '1975' should show others...

energyman · 2018-02-17 10:26 pm

Two inquiries: 1. Does version(s) 4.0+ allow include advanced kernels?
2. Can you sync multiple moode devices for wifi radio play around the house? (Not using Spotify or Tidal, just moode and Rpi's).

Thanks in advance.

Seems like a feature I wouldn't use with my extensive multiple-genre collection, but as long as I don't have to retag it just because you made the modification, then I see no reason to say don't do it.

Kent

Hi Bob,

Just have to remember that the AlbumSort tag is something that you have to manually populate :-0

Thanks for the "Nopes". Still great wares.

Hi,

I'm running moode4.0 on Pi2b+iqaudioDac+ and Pi3+IqaudioDac+

On both systems I have a "pop"-Noice on every skip to the next/previous" playlistentry (mpc play next etc.). (BTW: one of my amps is able to suppress the Nois; on Headphone i can hear it ever - even on my other amp). The noise ist independend of the volume (Volumecontrol set to hardware in mpd-settings).

Anyone with the same Problem?
Any idea for a solution?
Maybe Pulseaudio?

Please could you copy here result of moslast command ?
By rebooting, it will resume the build, did you try it ? And if so, did he fail at the same step ?

Why were the advance kernels ditched in V4.0 just being inquisitive

Problem with PI Display

Hello,
i have installed the newest version of moode.
When Ethernet is connected, everything works just fine.

But when i diconnect Ethernet, reboot the PI with the PI Display, i the chromium Browser starts up, but in the Playback Tab i could only see a white Scrren in the middle with light grey buttons.

If i connect a Tablet over Wifi, the Webside is normal to see, but not on the PI Display itself.

MPD seems to work, the music plays normal after the Reboot.

Nothing helps here, no reboot, nothing.
What could be the Problem.

I want to use it only with wifi, so no ethernet needed.

If i press on browse, sometimes the middle part of tghe display comes back, but from 10 tests, only 2 times.

Any Ideas what i can do?

Best regards, Mirko

I don't have a fix, but I can add a me too. it does it every time the audio device is initialised. I see this in the dmesg:

pcm512x 1-004c: No SCLK, using BCLK: -2

I've read this is harmless.

one one of my systems setting "always_on yes" in the output section helps.

Code:

audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "ALSA default"
device "hw:0,0"
mixer_control "Digital"
mixer_device "hw:0"
mixer_index "0"
dop "no"
always_on "yes"
}

I only use the mpd queues not airplay etc, I suspect this will break them.

yeah it only works on one of mine, I still get the pop when it starts, but you can skip tracks etc with no pops.

it's a hardware/driver issue on those cards as it does it no matter what the os/player is.

I do notice it is worse on pi3.
