Hi Kent,
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, we're all fine 😉 Just a momentary fright, nothing serious. I should've probably used a 😉 maybe it sounded a bit harsh, not my intention. Also, I learnt a lesson, as you said.
Yeah, it looks like it might be trying to mount QNAS partitions?
@Zefiryn
I just created a Volumio 2.348 virtual machine in VirtualBox on my laptop.
Their scheme for mounting network drives seems very similar to moOde's, asking for the same information moOde asks for (not a surprise, by the way). Sure, scanning for network drives is a neat feature, but it didn't autofill any fields for my OpenMediaVault server even though it discovered it.
So, in Volumio I mounted a CIFS/SMB share offered by my OpenMediaVault server using *exactly* the same information I used to mount it on moOde (note: have to open advanced options to enter File Share Type, Username, and Password). Worked fine and I'm playing tracks from it now.
What, exactly, do you enter (or does appear after "one click") in the Volumio fields for Alias, NAS IP address, Path, and File Share Type? What, exactly, do you enter in the moOde fields for Source name, Fileshare protocol, Host or IP address, and Remote Directory?
If Volumio doesn't display the share information after a "one click" mount, can you delete the share and then manually mount it again in Volumio entering the same information you enter in moOde?

Kent
The Radio stations you see in Kazoo are the OHRadio station support in UPMPDCLI.
As Tim says the Kazoo supported Radio stations are stored in the file mentioned above. At the moment there is no Web UI integration with populating this file so you will have to edit by hand.
The basic format is
[Radio Name]
URL = Stream
Art Url = radio station
Its explained in the config file , there are a couple of extra lines in there about dynamic artwork but they need a git code compile to get working. If you are interested in that feature I can talk you through it.
Since the UPNP radio is separate from the Webui you need to source your own artwork url or UPMPDCLI will substitute a default icon.
I have modified the default Radio Paradise entry to
[radio Radio Paradise]
url = http://stream-uk1.radioparadise.com/aac-320
artUrl = http://static.radio.net/images/broadcasts/d5/23/1885/c175.png
There is one occasional glitch, that I have previously reported to the developer , when playing tracks from a media server when the previous source was a radio station then it will fail, submit the tracks again and t works. In Bubble you have the ability to switch the source between Playlist and Radio which removes this glitch.
If there is a Radio station in the Webui you like then copy the url from the web ui and add to upmpdcli-radio.conf. I only play a couple of stations so this is no biggie for me.
Also, I've been able to repro what appears to be a nasty volume bug in MPD versions > 0.20.12 where setting volume to 0 can result in ALSA volume = 100%
WARNING: don't manually update to MPD > 0.20.12 until the issue is resolved.

Hello Tim,
The last picture - which makes u concern- with q1, q2 ...etc was my different tried to mount the NAS with different f.ex,. user or different remote direct. Now I deleted all of them and u have clean one tried- example:
Don't make me bad, I really appreciate your work, a like moode v.m. but as I got all my music stored on NAS, I 'm unfortunately unable to use it the way I 'd like to.

PS The print screen from Volumio I will send in few min.

Hi,
Thanks for the test files. Very helpful 🙂
Your files don't have track number prefix 01, 02, 03, ... and Library sorts tracks by filename which explains the odd track order you are seeing. I'll have a look at some alternative code that may help resolve this.
What music manager are u using to maintain your collection?
The Library also performs Virtual Compilation Album rollup because there is no standard Tag to indicate Compilation. The rollup involves consolidating tracks that have same album name but different artist names into a single Virtual Compilation Album.
How are you indicating Compilation Albums in your collection? For example by setting the ALbumArtist tag to "Various Artists".

Hi,
That error suggests a permission or some other issue in the /mnt directory
Below shows permission on the dir from one of my Pi's

Hi Tim,
There is a lot of info hidden in this one post on the Diyaudio forum. sometimes it takes hours to find a previous reply that was posted in the past, especially if one cannot remember an accurate search term!
I would recommend, not a forum, but a dedicated Wiki, with defined sections and overseen and edited by moderators.
Please, please no Videos, you cannot beat a clear prose article

Guys, anyone installed 4.0 on PiZero? I've just migrated from 3.84 to 4.0 and the whole thing seems to be very unresponsive. Changed the network settings, clicked apply and.... nothing (tried few times). Finally, I've got the network setting changed. Selected my sound card (PlainDac+), apply.... nothing. Restarted manually via SSH, as "restart" from Moode's menu did not have any effect. In Audio settings I do see my card selected, but I get no sound from it. Also, selecting the volume control, I only see Software (while this audio chip has also hardware volume). Any ideas? It was working perfectly on 3.84.
TIM, I have attached the screenshots of the various audio files with specified how it is reproduced.
For "rate" I wanted to say "output stream rate"
I hope everything is clear.
Thanks in advantage.

Tim asked me the other day if I also saw this. I can confirm that starting with MPD 0.20.13 and continuing through 0.20.16 (released just yesterday), trying repeatedly to set the volume to zero (with mpc, say) results in the volume jumping back and forth between 100% and essentially 0 (mpc says 2%; amixer says 0%). Very strange. I'm composing an issue report to post to the mpd github repo.
No problem if you stick with the MPD 0.20.12 brought in during the current moOde 4.0 build process.

Kent
Hi Tim,
The files are stored like ARTIST - Title.extension. All audio files have track number in ID3v2 and in folder I have a Playlist.m3u file with track order too. It's a good idea to have such a this filename template > when you are copy them in to a big pool for export or 3rd playlist is more easy to find the right file.
I made the entire library manually step by step, taged with ID3v2, tag with mp3tag application. The library can be loaded in iTunes without any issue.
Yes, the many albums/compilations can have the same name, but if AlbumArtist is different it should appear as other entry.
ID3v2 has a tag for Compilation (=1). Please check my sample files. iTunes recognise the compilations. I don't like the "Various Artists" name.
I was surprised that there are issues (on both PiZero with usb wifi and PiZero W), especially, that 3.84 worked perfectly.
I'm getting back to 3.84 now. Will try again 4.0 one day...

Hello Tim,
Voila : print screens from Volumio - adding new network drives.
My NAS works fine. ( to be quite honest - after 3 mouse clicks )
After switching to Moode - result :-(

In this particular case lets say I just wonna be normal ordinary guy , who tried to taste new Moode version .... doesn't work ? ....lookin' for another, not diggin' a forum.

This looks to coincide with an alsa rounding fix introduced in 0.20.13.
@gabrielrosca
Isn't it the other way around? Apple introduced this value in iTunes to indicate compilation and some tag editors can now deal with it?
Searching the id3v2.3.0 spec at the id3.org site, I can find no occurrence of "compilation".

Kent
Hi,
Although ID3v2 may now have a Compilation tag is definitely not universally used. For example MPD doesn't include any Compilation tag in is database. Even if u have set the ID3v2 tag it won't show up in MPD index.
The problem with Compilations is that (a) standard not universally used by Music companies or Players, (b) when manually done by users in their collections there are different approaches.
I've mostly seen "Various Artists" in the Album Artist tag.
