Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

Hi Henry,

Thanks for testing :)

From what I've read this may get rid of CRDA messages. It appears the package not included in Jesse...

apt-get install wireless-regdb iw crda
reboot

Please post back output from

uname -a

Regards,
Tim

OK, I did that and now the message disappeared. name -a gives the following response:
Darwin adm-45102 15.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.3.0: Thu Dec 10 18:40:58 PST 2015; root:xnu-3248.30.4~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
 
Is that the hifimediy one ?

HiFime 9018i i2S DAC

and you are using the hdmi out from Pi to the hifimediy dac...?


No, not this DAC.

- One year ago, could not make it work with my DIY es9018k2m DAC, may be the wiring is too messy.

- Several months ago, successfully made it play PCM with tekdevice.com dacberry1 es9018k2m DAC, Pi 1 Model B+ and module based Volumio. But can not make it work with device tree based Volumio and DSD.

- A few days ago, downloaded moOde 2.5, play it with Pi 2 and dacberry1:

boot up moOde 2.5
select I2S device = RPi-DAC
reboot
Adjust volume to 75%

Bingo........what can I say.......

moOde 2.5..........simple and elegant, no need to tweak device tree anymore.
 
2.5 works great.
Many little improvements here and there those surely improve the experience and usability.

The problem I had with covers was generated by the way I was handling the USB HDD folders structure.

I just stepped back the conventional way: rationalize the folder structure in the HDD and use .mpdignore files, instead of hard coding the music folder in mpd.conf.

This way it works as intended and covers show, as they should.

This 2.5 (plus that css fix posted in the previous page) feels like a pretty solid release.


good job! :yes: :hphones:
 
Hi TimCurtis,

I expanded SD card storage to use extra space. When I transmitted my music files to Moode through Network, everything is OK. But I failed to connect Moode player when I copied files to SD card on a PC. These files were copied to /mnt/SDCARD. How can I cope with this problem?

Hi,

List the steps u used to "copied files to SD card on a PC"

I copied my music files from HDD to SD card on Linux
Here were my commands:
sudo mkdir /tmp/myhd
sudo mkdir /tmp/myusb
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /tmp/myhd
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /tmp/myusb
sudo chmod -R a+rw /tmp/myusb

Then I used File Manager to copy files to /tmp/myusb/mnt/SDCARD
After I restarted Moode with changed SD card, I got “ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED” from web login.
 
Hi Henry,

Good to hear built in WiFi working :)

Please post following commands from the Pi.

(1) uname -a
(2) lsmod

Tim

btw - I tried with the hifiberry+ pro I2S dac - with a weird reaction. when I press the play button it gave white noise, next time I pressed it worked, third time it worked with much reduced volume- it randomly shifts. With a USB dac it works fine.

Hi,

I thought that if u plug Moode sd card into Linux machine it can R/W the ext4 root partition directly?

Hi,

Very odd about the Library load quitting like that. My own test collection is 18K tracks and no issues, and I've received user reports of up to 40K tracks loading successfully with TR3.

I would troubleshoot by trying to isolate the directory that it appears to be having trouble with and then examine the files for anything suspicious. The Library is based entirely on the presence of Genre, Artist, Album tags. If any are missing in the file it assigns the string "Unknown genre/artist/album".

Did MPD DB UPDATE complete and successfully index all 69K tracks? A good indication of success would be that the last dir of files in the collection appears under Browse panel NAS.

Regards,
Tim

Hi Tim

I upgraded easily to 2.5, everything OK except that, as It was the case with 2.4, the library seems to be indexing forever. How can I fix it ? Everything looks OK in the Browse (although I have USB, USB2, USB3, USB4 while I am only using an ethernet NAS)

Hi,

The utility referenced at link below has worked for some.
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pc-based/271811-moode-audio-player-raspberry-pi-148.html#post4579654

Restart MPD from MPD config page and the extra unpopulated folders will not appear in Browse panel.
