Hi Barry,

Leave the "Filename:" field blank. If it is set to "folder.jpg" and there are no folder.jpg files then no cover art will be shown.

I just tested on MPoD and no issues.

Thanks Tim, still did not work. But I had a thought and changed the Base URL to http:\\moode.local and it's now working.

Would be handy if I could set a static ip address for my wifi connection, but my router does not support that option.

Hi Barry,

Ah, .local

Glad its working 🙂 and I was mistaken about "Leave the Filename: field blank". It can have "Folder.jpg" in it.

Does your router support DHCP reservations?

Hi Tim,

No, my main Belkin modem/router does not support DHCP reservations, I have a netgear modem that does, but downloads at half the speed of the Belkin and with a slow internet connection I need all the help I can get. 🙂

Hi all,

is it possible to plug to my Raspberry Pi2/moode an external 4T or 6T usb hard sik without music access /library problems?

I want to use just one single disk to avoid Raspberry's disk access issue.

Also, another question. I use mupeace app for controlling moode from my Android phone. It works ok (when it works) but occasionally I have interrupted connections and have to restart program. Any better app on Google Play?

If your router is compatible, you can always install DD - WRT which will give you a lot of more features including static ip.
Using something like fing to look up connected devices is probably easier.

Thanks for info, will have a look at DD - WRT. No problem finding ip addresses of connected items, just would be nice if my pi retained the same address, it's a bit of a pain with the app I use to access alsamixer etc.

Hello

I got a new Pi-DAC+ No clics and pops and the hum is less noticeable (still there though) with software volume configured. If I select hardware volume there are clics and pops at the end and at the beginning of each song. Configuring again software volume, no problems found apart from the hum. As power supply I've used a Mac USB port, HP USB Port, a NAS USB Port and a Powercube with USB ports.

I'm using a Sony Ericsson usb phone cable that has some ferrite protections in it.

If there's something else to try or some suggestions I'd be really grateful.

Best regards / Fernando

Hi Fernando,

I would suggest a dedicated PS. The spec for the Pi-2B is 5V 1.8A.

I use these Canakit units which are 5V 2.5A.
Amazon.com: CanaKit 5V 2.5A Raspberry Pi 2 Power Supply (UL Listed): Computers & Accessories

Here is what I'm running with a PIE. I bought a lucid labs DAC and it's very nice ! Love it!

Hi,

The following fix will be in Moode release 2.4 but if u want to apply it now just follow patch instructions below. The fix turns off MPD logging which I noticed is excessive and may be impacting performance.

(1) ssh root@moode (pwd = moode)
(2) nano /etc/mpd.conf
(3) place # in front of log_file ... line to comment it out

#log_file "/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"

(4) Ctrl-x y <return> to save file
(5) reboot
(6) Moode System config page, "Clear system logs"

NOTE: In release 2.3 and earlier, this fix will get overwritten if MPD settings are changed via MPD config UI.

Tim Curtis

Does turning off the logging increase performance ?

Hi Tim,
could you give an example when this excessive and maybe impacting performance issue would occur.

Just by changing the values at the MPD config page?
Or has this fix maybe a positive impact on the initial "MPD Update DB" step (once a new version of Moode will be configured)? This first time scanning of my Nas will take about an hour until it's completed. But further MPD DB updates (after adding additional songs to the Nas) will be done within 2min.

But I guess your fix is handling something else, or?

Hi,

Regarding the logging issue:

What I noticed is that there actually is no log_level param in current Moode mpd conf, only the log_file param. This is causing what I believe to be "verbose" log level instead of "default" log level.

Having verbose logging on might impact performance of operations like fresh MPD Database Update, however I've not done any benchmarking on this.

The permanent fix in release 2.4 is to include log_level "default" but still leave #log_file which turns of logging. If logging were ever needed for troubleshooting, simply uncomment and set appropriate log_level.

In my experience troubleshooting user issues, I rarely use any of the server logs, so I'm thinking that having the default configuration be "no logging" makes sense for audio player.

Regards,
Tim

Hi,

The following DAC's have been reported by users to work great with Moode. They will be included in release 2.4 for display on Audio info popup. The two i2s DAC's will also appear in the i2s select list on System config page 🙂

Audiophonics PCM5122 DAC (i2s)
Lucid Labs Raspberry Pi DAC (i2s)

Arcam irDAC (spdif)
Chord QuteHD (spdif)

Chord 2Qute (usb)
Matrix Mini-i Pro (usb)

Regards.
Tim

Hi Tim,
Here's another 'feature' request. Would it be possible to update shairport-sync to the latest version (2.4) and compile it with these additional options: --with-stdout --with-configfile

I currently have it running, and it works fine at least from commandline. Many nice updates in the recent versions including config file similarly to mpd.conf.

The resason for the stdout is to pipe raw pcm data to ecasound

Hi Tim,

you already mentioned that showing the bitrate is on your to-do-list.

Question from my side is if this will also be shown in the "Library" once an album has been clicked on.
Maybe below the tracks and running time information?

And maybe it would also be possible to add the genre of the chosen album there, too?
In another row or maybe next the bitrate information?

Just a thought.

Cheers,
M.
