Interesting. It could be a date/time issue.
Did you try to update kernel manually ?
Click to expand...

I did the kernel update manually following the exact steps in the build recipe and it went through without an issue. When I boot it up it still does not broadcast the AP on wifi. When I connect to the RPI via LAN I can hit the moOde interface on my browser.

I will re-install the enhanced networking manually and see what happens.

Hi Tim,

It's not working for me -- doesn't seem to be writing to the SD card after invoking mosbuild.sh. Here's the terminal output:

I'm trying again with a freshly-FAT-formatted 32GB SD card. This time, the green light came on on reboot, but it seems to be stuck on with no flickering. Is that what is supposed to happen? How long is the writing wait time generally?

BTW, an explanation of the y/n questions would be appreciated, or maybe just the better ones?

Tim, I have beta 12 which I made using the image builder.
Basic functions work fine, however, I have 2 problems.

1. The upnp renderer is set on but it is not showing in Bubble upnp or
when using a upnp device scanner.

2. I have standard kernel only with no option to install the advanced kernels.

Where have I gone wrong?
Click to expand...
For upnp try

Sudo chmod 644 /etc/upmpdcli.conf

And reboot.

MoOde and Foobar Upnp

Tim - I would very much like a solution for this issue: Your latest versions of moode all make a short break of about 4 seconds after 1 hour, 2 minutes and 8 seconds of continously playing a stream coming from my windows laptop with foobar as upnp server. This did not happen with earlier versions of moode. I cant remember when it occured the first time, but it really did not. Actually I´m using 3.8.4. It will stop playing in total, with moode playing in regular play mode, without continously playing mode. What can I do? The foobar settings were never changed.

Thanks in advance

Luki

Hi,

Noted.

Manual build recipe for upcoming Beta 12 has been updated. The automated Image Builder preserves wpa_supplicant.conf if one was initially configured :)

Thanks Tim. As always, stellar work!

Having a bit of an issue on build 11 with the pimoroni pHat DAC.
No Alsa device detected. I ran their curl script so I might need to hammer away at that for a while, although it most likely was something I did (or didn't do).

I have the same problem. Using RPi B+ (connected via LAN), the target micro SD card appears to have been written to, but when reinserted in the RPi both green and red lights just stay on for an hour. Can't ssh into RPi, although it appears as active on my network. When I look at the card it has become read only and cannot be formatted by SD Formattter.
Have tried about 6 times. Perhaps I'm not waiting long enough.
BTW, build recipe works OK.

Hi Guys

I am getting as far as shh to my Pi3 from my mac, I have a 8GB microsd card as boot but on using the auto build installer script I get not enough space 2.5GB required. Tried using the expand to 3GB from Tim's build recipe 2.2 rebooted, but still no joy.

Could koda59 please let us know how to expand the drive to accommodate the build as he kindly did for one of the others.

Thanks in advance

Well the detection of USB seems not working in your setup (5 devices detected, something has failed).
Could you, please, give us the result of :
ls -la /dev/disk/by-id
just before launching mosbuild.sh and after, when you cancel/quit mosbuild.sh ?

Another point, did you have any USB devices plugged on RPI's USB before launching mosbuild ?

Regards

Oh, yes! This is from the shairport conf:

Code: 
//////////////////////////////////////////
//  This convolution filter can be used to apply almost any correction to the audio signal, like frequency and phase correction.
//  For example you could measure (with a good microphone and a sweep-sine) the frequency response of your speakers + room,
//  and apply a correction to get a flat response curve.
//////////////////////////////////////////
//
//  convolution = "yes";                  // Activate the convolution filter.
//  convolution_ir_file = "impulse.wav";  // Impulse Response file to be convolved to the audio stream
//  convolution_gain = -4.0;              // Static gain applied to prevent clipping during the convolution process
//  convolution_max_length = 44100;       // Truncate the input file to this length in order to save CPU.

Pretty tidy, actually... The filters would go into the the "impulse.wav" and things should work. I will try this out - let's see if REW can produce files which actually work.
REW filter do not have a master gain setting. But exporting the filters impulse response as wav has many settings (mono/stereo, sample rate, bit depth)... will play around...

If yes, then in my view it would be an additional selling point for moOde, if these could be part of the UI... But let us see...
Click to expand...

Hey guys, tried to mock around in the config file, but nothing happens. I set the convolution gain to -14db (which should be clearly noticeable), save the file and restart Airplay from the UI.

Anything else I should do? Any logs I could look at to see what is happening?

:confused:

Thanks for the expand space help koda59 it was simple to do and solved the not enough space problem on a reboot.

I am now at the first boot after creating the new image on another micro SD card and placing into the Pi3 to continue setup - where apparently it should automatically continue at step 2 of the install but instead all it offers me is a picalhost login prompt on the Pi3. I can ssh into the Pi3 but nothing seems to be happening. What can i do to finish the setup? I am now logged into pi@localhost.

Thanks

How long did you wait? Step 2 may take 40 mins to complete, and you should then be able to connect to moode.local on your browser.
