Thank you very much for the information!
Will wait for Moode 3.5 release.
I have another (maybe stupid and trivial) question.
Is there a option for autoplay the last played song/radiostation in the playlist ?
I mostly listen online radio and will be great to autoplay when I run the system.
In the documentation I saw that there is such option but I couldn't find how to set it.

Yes, indeed. Sorry, you are correct sir. My board is a DAC+ Pro....which doesn't work.....and not a DAC+.
Cheers,

Simply, you can't, unless your PC has line-in.
I'm confused as to what you are trying to do. That you have gone through four completely different streaming iterations and failed to get anything working says to me you are looking at it all wrong.
You bought a couple of Pi3 and a couple of HAT DACs - you should be connecting your dac to a line-level amplifier input and playing music or internet radio. Your pc is only involved in that it accesses Moode's graphical UI to tell it what to do.
What your pc is, how big your hd is, what your cables are, who your internet provider and the router they supplied is completely irrelevant. The Pi is a pc.
Think of Moode as a modern version of a jukebox, with http front end and a bunch of cool features.
The process to make it work is absolutely clear in the setup guide and given the equipment you have bought, should work first time, with all four music players you have tried.
Assemble and configure Pi and DAC
Connect audio out on the DAC to line-level audio in on your amp (aux/cd, etc)
Adjust volume to a low level
Insert previously-imaged SD card
Power on
Follow the setup guide to configure networking, i2s DAC parameters, etc.
Reboot
Configure MPD config to point to the DAC you chose in setup
Play one of the default radio stations
Adjust volume at your amp to a satisfactory level.
Edit: my mistake, I see you have one Pi and two HAT.
Also, audio out is possible on a Pi, but not via a stock installation of Moode. It would require a bit of reconfiguration at a Linux command line level.

Hello! My music library is on a Debian 8 NFS server and everything is working perfectly. Until i reboot my Pi3. It refuses to mount the server and Moode hangs or becomes sluggish when i try to edit the source settings. Everything goes back to normal when i manually restart mpd with 'sudo service mpd restart'. The Pi is with static ip address, wifi disabled. Ideas?
I wonder if this is relevant?:
Can you make a read-only smb share of the same source and see how that fares?
Pulled out the HDMI lead and....
Good morning Tim,
Thanks for your suggestion for sorting my audio problem which didn't make any discernible difference. Perhaps I have an Ethernet problem. I've reset everything and completely reinstalled MoOde precisely as per the setup instructions. Still no audio on PC browser. All the MoOde UI visuals on PC browser perform as expected but no audio. Listening directly to the Pi output through the coax and the AVR the audio is quite impressive, but nothing through the PC browser. You obviously know all there is to know about the MoOde program but can you offer any further help?
regards
Tom

Moode and the HiFiBerry are working perfectly. The GUI is just that - graphical. Sorry if you misunderstood Moodes functionality, but there is no sound output from the PC. Moode is not designed to provide such output, only to provide an I2S output for processing by a DAC or I2S to SPDIF conversion as in the HiFiberry Digi.
Happy Listening

Hi Tom,
As @BackinBlack mentioned, audio is only output by Pi. The Browser just renders the User Interface.

Am I being a silly Doh-nut.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to help me. I am a 70 year old fart lost and adrift.
I am having difficulty with my terminology I think. I realize that the Pi plays the audio but I thought I should hear that same audio from the Pi whilst looking at MoOde UI on the PC's browser and adjusting the playlist and choosing the next track etc. without having to swap back and forth from the Pi to the PC browser. Excuse my lack of understanding,
Kind regards
Tom

Hi Tom, no problem, I'm only a couple of years behind you. Don't quite understand your "without having to swap back and forth from the Pi to the PC browser" Once set up the Pi doesn't need a keyboard or display, i.e. "headless" . The only control needed is a browser on PC, tablet or phone.

Hello again, and thanks for sticking with me,
My desktop PC and my Pi are both connected, by different inputs, to an AVR. The PC is connected by HDMI to HDMI socket (channel) 6 and the Pi is connected to coax socket (channel) 2. If I select the PC on AVR socket 6, I can see the MoOde UI in all its glory on the browser but I can't hear the audio output from the Pi. If I select the Pi on AVR socket 2, I can hear audio but the MoOde UI is not visible. Therefore I have to swap back to PC socket to select next song or playlist, then back to the Pi coax socket to hear the next track. I am sorry for my lack of terminology and for not knowing what I should expect.
regards
Tom
Pi Zero W in car
I've had a Pi 3 and Zero running MoOde in the house for some time now I want one in my car.
What issues have people experienced with getting this up and running?
It will be a Pi Zero W with a Pimoroni Phat DAC. Power will be provided through an "always on" cigarette lighter socket with a USB converter plugged into it. The audio files will be converted to MP3 and stuffed into the 64Gb SD card.
I'm thinking it doesn't draw enough power to drain the car battery if I leave it sitting for a week, am I wrong?
Is unplugging it without a "shut down" a potential SD card corrupter still (if it ever was)?

Hi Ricky;
One thing to check is to test and see if your 'Always On' 12v connection really is always on. Mine is on -except- when I turn the key to 'start,' then the car routes all power to the starter. I can tell because my phone, if plugged in for charging thinks I unplugged/repluggged during starting. OTOH Not all cars are wired that way.

PlayDac support seems broken
Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for the amazing moodaudio. Build 3.1 seems broken about the support of PlainDac from PolyVection. In release 24 PLaiDac was working fine with Is2 HiFyBerry configuration.
Is it possible to restore the support in Moode 3.5 ?
Thanks in advance
