Hi,

Unable to repro "config.txt not being updated with dtoverlay= line" issue. I tested with a Pi-2B, HifiBerry DAC+ and Moode 2.0 download image.

After booting up I set I2S audio device to HifiBerry DAC+ then reboot. Config.txt had dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus line and Radio station played fine.

Regards,
Tim

I don't know why it happened then - it wasn't an isolated occurrence.

I'll have another go. Is it alright to use the version on the AWS bucket?
 
I'm having some rather basic problems getting connected, and am hoping for a little help.

I've got a RPi2 booted with 2.0. It shows up on my IP scanner, once as Moode and another as RPi. Plugged into a router, I can access it from the Moode.local in the browser, but when I go to prefs and plug in my wireless pw, after I hit submit, I can't get it to refresh and the browser refuses to load again for some period of time. I get frustrated, try again the next night, and get the same behavior. Plugging in assigned IP addresses gets no better results.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I should be looking at to troubleshoot? Tim, I do appreciate all the hard work and can't wait to get this thing into a workable state.

Hi,

Send email to tim at moodeaudio dot org and ill help troubleshoot. The symptoms suggest failure to join wifi network for some reason.

Hi,

Here are the steps I use to set up a WiFi connection (from the readme).

3. CONFIGURE FOR WIFI CONNECTION
a) power off (from Menu/Turn off)
b) insert wifi dongle
c) power up (leave eth cable connected!)
d) "http://moode"
e) Menu, Configure, Network
f) configure a wifi connection (can take ~ 60 seconds to complete)
g) power off, unplug eth cable, power up

Hello, I've just signed in to thank you for the version 2 of MoOde.
Long time volumio/rune user. IQ Audio PiDAC+ owner.

Some time ago I tried an old 1.x release and I wasn't satisfied, so I forgot about it.

MoOde 2.0 instead is great as it includes out of the box many features long time requested.

On the top of my mind after a quick test it's missing:
- last.fm scrobbling, direct config from UI
- buttons to quickly "add, replace and play" a whole album from the library.
As now there's only "add" for albums. (songs have add, add+play, add+replace+play)

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the nice compliment!

I'll add your feature items to my to-do list. I might be able to squeeze in the "add, replace and play" menu pick in release 2.1.

mDNS as implemented by avahi uses the .local designation

I have a bunch of routers - Cisco's, DD-WRT, etc. - none resolves a url without a suffix.

Maybe it's a Windows thing? I will have to fire up something running that awful POS :)

EDIT: Actually, I suspect it might be a Bonjour thing - I use Mac's almost entirely for desktop. Bonjour doesn't strictly follow zeroconf/Avahi standards.

And... I just remembered that I don't usually change the 'zeroconf' setting - so, there's a bunch of stuff for me to test - I have a lot of bonjour/zeroconf sniffers (I use it a lot on my embedded MCU projects)

Hi,

Using OSX for most things these days :) but "http://moode" also resolves from my Win7 machines and IOS devices. I've never needed to use .local for any of my hosts.

Router is RT-N66U running an older Merlin firmware. He made some nice enhancements to dnsmasq for the ASUS routers. If the mood strikes (no pun intended) I'll capture a dns query with Wireshark to see whats going on.
