Hi John,
Confirms my initial thought that integration would be a challenge.

Dear John,
that's great! Any way where I can support you? if -yes- (e.g. testing) please let me know it (...send me a PM). I will write simple bash script that installs the necessary requirements so that for future Moode versions it is not necessary to do it from scratch.
best,
leo

Hello Tim,
Thanks for Moodeaudio, it’s very good.
Question: If I mount my Nas, the updating wheel is turning, the library is building. But the updating process always stops with the fourth directory of my music share. Although the wheel keeps turning, it never gets further than the fourth directory of my music share.
The music share on my Nas is approximately 700GB. What can be the problem? (I tried TR1 and TR2, same problem).

Hi,
The symptom "...updating process always stops with the fourth directory of my music share" suggests one or more corrupt music files in that dir.
There are some posts in the thread regarding similar issue. I recall there was a particular util used to find the bad files so they could be fixed.

Hi Tim,
First thanks for your hard job.
I have 1 question and one remarks for moode 2.5 tr2.
- first i noticed that in alsamixer if i set -6db in analog (0%) i noticed that the sound is better rather than in 0db (100%).
But only problem i can t find a way to save alsasetting. I found some command via google but none worked. Still got the old value each time i rebbot.
- one remark, i can t search anymore in the screen in browse tab. If i type a keyword in a nas filesystem nothing happened. It worked in 2.5 tr1.
I use chrome with windows 7 and android and same problem.
Cheers,
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
I just checked and yes, search seems to be broken in Browse panel. I'll investigate.
What DAC are u using?

Tim
Hi,
I got a hifiberry Dac+ Pro.
I noticed that if i set analog volume in alsamixer at -6db (0%), sound looks more balanced.
It looks to me that there is too much treble with the setting at 0db 100% (of course at the same level of noise, i use a sound meter level to try to be accurate).
Note that i m using hardware volume and sometimes no volume when it s possible.
Problem is when i change this setting in alsamixer with ssh. After a reboot the setting is back to old value.
Thanks for your help

Hi Pierre,
During Moode startup the two analog volume controls on Hifiberry DAC+ and DAC+Pro are set to Hifiberry recommended values as follows:
Analog = 100
Analog Playback Boost = 0
As workaround, nano /var/www/command/worker.php, scroll down a bit and comment out // the 2 sysCmd lines for the DAC+Pro analog volumes. Then your alsamixer settings will stick.
I'll see if I can add something to 2.5, for example an override option so the settings can be made via alsamixer.
Also, if you want to edit another source file I can post the fix for the broken Browse search
Regards,
Tim
I think I fixed the problem. In /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf, I updated the "MOUNTOPTIONS" from MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime"
to MOUNTOPTIONS="async,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime". Now I'm getting 10-11 MB/S wired.

Hi,
Confirmed after preliminary tests. The change from sync to async yielded almost 5MB/sec Wifi --> Eth
Will do more stress testing to make sure all is good and if so, this change will be in 2.5
Your efforts to find a fix are much appreciated!

Tim

Sure for the other fix it would be nice, this feature was very useful.
Hi Pierre,
To fix broken Browse search, 3 files need minor edits.
In the 2 files below change the string javascript:getDB(... to javascript:MpdDbCmd(... There is only one occurrence of this string in each of the files.
(1) /var/www/templates/indextpl.html
(2) /var/www/themes/alizarin/indextpl.html
In the following file scroll down until you see function searchDB(...)
(3) /var/www/inc/playerlib.php
Then scroll down to case 'file': and remove the double quote from the string sendMpdCmd($sock, 'search "'...
so it looks like sendMpdCmd($sock, 'search '...
(4) reboot
Regards,
Tim
Hi Klaus,
Glad to hear that
I'm not seeing any issues with this change on my end. Much better throughput, USB auto mount and hotplug working fine, etc.Regards,

Hi,
I'm thinking of adding a Customize section for PCM5122 based dacs that would allow setting the Analog volume controls and digital interpolation filters.
There are 4 interpolation filter options that are part of oversampling stage just before the PCM samples enter the sigma-delta modulator.
(1) FIR interpolation with de-emphasis (default)
(2) Low latency IIR with de-emphasis
(3) High attenuation with de-emphasis
(4) Ringing-less low latency FIR
Refer to datasheet for details.

Tim, seconding some of the other posters here who would like the ability to import moode network, source, and customization settings into a new install. It would save a lot of time for me, since I have my setup connected via wifi---whenever I upgrade I have to unplug my RPI from my stereo and move it across the room to where my router is in order to plug it in via ethernet. It would be great if I could at least edit the wifi config on a new install manually (i.e., on windows 7) before I boot so that I don't have to move the box.
Hi,
Developing a robust in-place update mechanism is not trivial but its certainly possible. The problem is that its competing with developing Moode itself.
The wifi settings are in /etc/network/interfaces file which is in ext4 format partition which I don't think Windows can see. Windows can only see the boot partition which is vfat format.

Tim
Hi Tim,
Another topic and issue I got but not related to 2.5 tr2 I think.
I noticed several Pop/Clicks each time i change track or change volume (hardware volume)
It s not that loud but not very clean.
I got a dac+ pro so i checked hifiberry support forum but they said the problem should come from software and not hardware.
What do you think? Is anyone else got this kind of trouble?
Thanks
Pierre
