Hi,
I don't have a Squeeze setup so I'm not sure what you are trying to do in getting "squeezelite to work with Moode"
What exactly are you trying to do?

Hi,
Very odd.
One of my test Pi's has 3 NAS sources configured, one source has 18K tracks and no issues selecting and playing tracks from any source after rebooting, power down/up.
What Browser are u using?

Tim Curtis
that was painless
how simple can you get, plug everything in, turn on set a few things and go.
15min
not tried network shares yet but local via usb HDD works a treat.
well done Tim, fantastic bit of coding.
Hi,
What DAC are u using?
Regards,
Tim
Hi,
Optimal config for this DAC is:
(1) MPD volume control = "Hardware" (Menu, Configure, MPD)
(2) Logarithmic curve = "Yes" (Menu, Customize)

Hi,
thanks for all the hard work with Moode.
Things are OK on first installation and it plays OK but then I hit a problem. Returning to Moode the following day (Pi left on - it's a "B") the Play button does not respond when I click it (library or radio).
I can browse the MPD library and make playlists and can (sometimes) jump from song to song - but Play doesn't work. I suspected that Moode wasn't recognising my USB DAC (NAD D3020) because it had been switched off over that time (in fact the NAD switches itself off anyway if it isn't being used) and once I managed to get it to work (briefly) by unplugging the DAC, rebooting, plugging in and rebooting again. However this doesn't seem to work every time.
Any clues to what I should be doing?

Hi,
Moode does not support hot-plugging USB audio devices. If unplug DAC from running Moode, it or any other DAC will not be recognized when plugged back in. Pi has to be power off/on or rebooted with USB audio device connected and powered on.

Hi,
I'm not able to repro this in my test environment but one way to possibly work around the issue would be to move the music collections under a single root folder on the NAS and then share this folder out.
You would end up making a single source mount in Moode.

Hi,
I don't maintain a list but the ones I use are the Edimax EW-7811Un adapters.

Hi Tim, thanks for replying so fast.
Just to check I did a fresh install of Moode from SD, as per the set-up notes, initially without USB DAC, set the Custom Config with the Nad DAC then plugged the DAC in and rebooted the Pi. It played radio perfectly, made the MPD and played songs perfectly.
Then I paused the music and just left everything for an hour, with the Pi left on. During that time the Nad D3020 DAC went into standby, I switched it on from the remote and once again the Play button on Moode doesn't function. So I am not hot-plugging, I am leaving the Pi on all the time and just swtching the DAC on when I need it.
I wonder if anyone else using the Nad (quite a popular DAC/Amp) or other DACs that have a standby mode has seen this and found a fix?
Hi Tim,
Indeed, this was the issue.
Now I have mounted the USB drive via fstab (see http://www.htpcguides.com/properly-mount-usb-storage-raspberry-pi/
Added the line below line in the fstab:
UUID=563C-82DB /mnt/USB2 exfat nofail,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 0
This works (tested 3 times)
So thanks Tim and Marszczak
Hi,
Hot plugging capability also covers the scenario where the cable is left plugged in but the audio device is turned off and electrically disconnects from the USB port.
The symptoms suggest that when the NAD goes into standby, it powers off its USB port and thus electrically disconnects from the Pi USB port, as if the cable were pulled.
Does the NAD have a setting to prevent standby mode?

Tim
Hi,
I just want to confirm that this is exFAT file system on your USB drive.
exFAT support was added to Moode 2.4 and this behavior did not show up in my testing but I will definitely retest. My earlier tests regarding this issue were with NTFS format USB drives.
Regards,
Tim
jpeg4, did you by chance have this issue using Moode 2.3? Or is 2.4 your first Moode install.
Tim, this behavior is along the lines of what I described to you via email. 2.4 drops the PCM stream/lock completely once a track/album has finished or is paused. 2.3 did not exhibit this behavior and maintained a lock even if the PCM stream has stopped. I guess that this loss of lock is causing jpeg4's DAC to enter stand-by mode whereas 2.3 would have kept it 'awake'?

Hi Tim
that's what I feared. Maybe I could change the standby settings but it kind of defeats the purpose for me which is to switch the DAC off overnight or other times I'm not using it but leave the Pi on 24/7 running a minidlna server to other devices in the house.
Maybe a clue: I just tried running Volumio and it doesn't seem to suffer this problem, I can switch the DAC on and off, it pauses and I can resume when the DAC goes back on. But at the moment I'd prefer to use Moode if I could, I prefer the operability and the MPoD App is really nice when Moode is running.
