Hi,
Thanks. I see that its a config file setting. I'll add to the TODO list, maybe for release 2.6 I can code a UI setting for this.

Hi,
MPD does not natively support sacd.iso but Archphile Mike created an experimental build of MPD that supports it on his excellent Archphile distro. The build of MPD that I make for Moode is custom but does not include special or experimental patches, although I may do this in a future release.
If u are able to create DSF files from the iso's, Moode supports DSF format.
Regards,
Tim
PRI 3 now works with Hifiberry+ pro
I saw that Stuart from Hifiberry mentioned an update of the kernel that made the plus pro work. So I couldn't resist to follow Tim's advice (post nr 1993) for updating the kernel and now I have an RPI 3 that works fine with the plus pro
. I have uploaded the kernel gz files, so that you can update your own 2.5 following the last part of the advice. Just copy the gz files to a USB stick and update via SSH to the moode (ssh root@IPnr paswd moode). If you are a noob like me, take also a look at post 1995.
You find the gz files here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x66b3we8xo5xi7g/AACkKxugYwtGqDCxAg4RVYi3a?dl=0
Genuinely I think that this is the most convenient way until Tim has created his 2.6 version, but if you prefer an image, I can upload one.

Excellent! WiFi is working now. Great work Tim!
Next step to listen to my favorite radios... how do I add these?

What Tim does is offering an excellent image for people that don't have the knowledge and time to learn the linux basics in order to configure a system to have a trusted transport for their hifi.
Of course it's not a waste of time. I know may hifi enthusiasts who moved from bloated windows installations to Moode and they are really happy with the result. Most of them are people who could not even login to a linux distribution using putty and thanks to developers like Tim they can now enjoy the advantages of Linux audio.
Last but not least IMHO a standard kernel configuration (what most distros offer with their packages) is 100% ok for a linux transport. I've spent many hours configuring custom kernels in order to achieve better sounding results and I could not hear any difference.

Hi,
First u will need to derive the direct stream url for the station.
- from ssh terminal: wget http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/JOSHFMAAC.pls
- then cat the file that is quoted in the output from wget. The url assigned to File1= is the direct stream url
-or- paste
http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/JOSHFMAAC.pls into iTunes "File open stream..." then "Get info"
Click on menu for any radio station in Browse panel, then "Create new station"

I've been using the Comfast CF-WU735P with great results. It uses the RALINK RT5370 chipset, so works out of the box. It has a large +5dB antenna which gives good signal. Thanks to the RALINK RT5370 chipset, it supports running as an AP, so it's easy to set up for public connection as a party player.
COMFAST CF-WU735P 150Mbps USB WiFi USB Adapter
I've had tons of them and no failures to date.
If wifi strength isn't an issue and you don't want a large antenna, they have another nice 5370 chipset adapter with a 2dB gain antenna that is lower profile:
Comfast CF-WU720N 150Mbps 802.11N USB WiFi Adapter
I have some Comfast 802.11n adapters in transit using the Realtek 8192 chip, I can report on them when I have tested them. (NOTE: The 8192 doesn't natively support being an AP - there's a lot of work needs doing to make it support HOSTAPD, but the chip is better than the RT5730, at least if you have a modern router setup, so for me, at least, it's worth putting in the effort to make the soft-AP work).

I worked for me too. Many thanks!
Only a minor note: the actual space available on my 8Gb micro sd card (Kingston Class 10) was not enough to store the entire image, so I ended up using a 16Gb card. Could it be that the actual space available varies a little depending on the micro sd card brand?
Could easily be. An alternative if you have an RPI2 as well could be to update the kernel as described in post 1993 (and 1995). You don't need to extract the files first since I have uploaded them here, so just copy then to a USB stick, and SSH the RPI2. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x66b3we8xo5xi7g/AACkKxugYwtGqDCxAg4RVYi3a?dl=0
Hi Tim
I fully understand your unwillingness to support an endless list of providers such as Tidal etc. However, as described in post 306 in the Computeraudiophile forum it is not difficult to set up a BubbleUPnP server to run on the Moode. This server provides Tidal, Qobuz and Google Music. It can then be controlled by external software like Lumin and run in parallel with Moode. When it plays, the user interface from Moode can control stop and start and volume.
I am also using an app on my android phone called USB Audio Player Pro. He made an interface in which what is provided from BUPnP is available (picture). So, in the same way as you replied about the quest for Roon (which is not attractive for me), would not be possible to make this available in the interface of Moode. This would take no extra effort, since all the maintenance about the providers is done in the BUPnP.
This would make Moode the most perfect player for me!

Hi Henry,
It might be possible but would take time for me to learn, develop a config UI, test and support.

Hi,
It might be possible on the Browse panel but some sort of caching mechanism would probably need to be developed otherwise covers have to fetched from the collection afresh each time which could bog down the UI especially if collection is located on NAS.
