Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

Es9018 and custom kernel

Hi Patrick,

I get same results feeding to es9023 boards except with new custom kernel the output stream with DoP off would be like below instead of 24/192.

Format: 24 bit, 352.8 kHz, Stereo
Rate: 16.934 mbps

DoP failing (faint music buried in noise) is probably due to limitation in the rpi-dac I2S driver or in the implementation of es9018 on that board. I'm just guessing.

Hi Tim,

Please can you give me a bit of information regarding custom kernel.

I haven't done a kernel compile since Slack v 0.9 distributed on 12 or so floppy disks!

What is the base version and compile options ?

Thanks

Patrick

Hey Tim. I often get 'reconnecting' pop up while connected to moode (different Pi, with various DAC on different networks in various houses).

Is there somewhere I can change the time whereby it checks for connectivity?

Hi Mike,

Thats odd. I never see the reconnect screen on LAN or home WiFi but occasionally I see it on AP mode when applying config screen changes.

There's no Moode code that actively monitors the network connection. The front-end Web UI (Javascript) and back end PHP-MPD wrapper are connected via async AJAX GET submitted by the front-end. If the GET times out, the front-end will branch to the reconnect code and then resubmit the GET every 3 secs.

Network interruption will cause GET timeout but maybe high latency network or ??? can also cause timeout. There are several interrelated timeout settings in PHP, NGINX and MPD so not quite sure how to troubleshoot. I'm not getting user reports of "lot of reconnect screens" with Moode 2.7

it never hurts to try ONE MORE TIME

I hve tried this many times and cannot get anywhere
when I unplug the ether cable all is lost

well it seems after hitting "Apply" and getting "Reboot..." message
If I pull the Ethernet able too soon in reboot process thing go awry. If I wait too long pulling the cable does not work either.
I pulled it after the reboot process was underway and I reconnected wirelessly

we will see if it is stable over the next few listening sessions

Next time I suggest you try doing shutdown, turn power off, remove cable, then power up again.

Tim,

I've had this problem on past versions but I'm on 2.7 right now and when I try to get the device connected to a WAP, I enter the SSID into the appropriate field and after the third character the field immediate turns red. Even when making sure the SSID is well within range, is 2.4GHz, is spelled perfectly, and has the correct password entered, a little tooltip pops up next to the SSID field when I press Apply saying "Please match the requested format." The (i) button just says that it has to be within 3-32 chars which I am well within. Tried rebooting several times, tried turning the WiFi NIC on and off with the convenient toggle in the settings menu. Same result always. Couldn't find any search results for those keywords in this thread. Advice? 🙂
 
I experienced the same problem with 2.7. I believe it's browser specific. The SSID I specified has 5 characters. When using Chrome it kept showing the error message: "Please match the requested format."

I swapped over to Internet Explorer and it was no problem setting the SSID. Once it was set, I could go back using Chrome again with no problem.

Chrome version: Version 53.0.2785.116 m (on Windows 7)

Hi,

If you can ssh then edit the file /var/www/templates/net-config.html using nano and remove all the pattern= statements from the file.

btw when added and then when clicked on in playback it highlights but the previous playing station stays highlighted as well, and nothing plays, rather than the previous station de-highlighting (is that a word!) and the new one playing and staying highlighted.
its like its looking for the stream and locks up or something.
 
Hi Ian,
thanks for that but its still not working for me. There must be some sort of configuration issue?
I don't understand it as the BBC stations added and played ok

There's no magic here. When I tried reaching these icecast URLs directly in my web browser I get back "file not found" pages. Moode can't play a stream that can't be found.

Mind you, I'm in the USA. Are these UK-only streams? [Edit: actually, the URL BackInBlack provided resolves to a .pls file which can be found. It specifies "File1=http://icecast.timlradio.co.uk/nonuk.ogg", which can't be found and that name "nonuk" is suggestive.]


Regards,
Kent
