Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

"...nears completion" is sounding awesome Tim, looking forward to 2.6!!!! :spin:

I'm curious how setup will be on a secure network with the new moodeOS. I believe you mentioned something about being able to connect to Pi3 when 2.6 is initially loaded for the first time, before any network settings has been established?

In other words, we won't need an Ethernet connect for setup, correct? :confused: Will we use "http://runeaudio.local/" via a networked browser, or some other method?

When Moode initially boots, if you have a suitable/supported WiFi NIC, it will create an AP with an SSID of 'MOODE' and a password of 'moodeaudio'

You connect to that, make the changes you require to your system and then modify the network config to connect to your home network and reboot.

However - if your WiFi NIC isn't supported (like my RTL8188-based NICs), you will still need an ethernet cable. The new Pi3, for example, boots through to creating an AP just fine, as do my RT5370-based NICs.

Not all NIC's support running in AP-mode.
 
The other method is to edit the /boot/moodecfg.txt file Tim has provided with your details. Moode will locate it at initial boot, make the changes and connect to your network, no ethernet cable needed.

Hi Mike,

Here is updated auto-config file that includes support for wlan SSID. Worker has been changed to auto-reboot after processing the file. Simpler.

Hi Tim

If you have room for more radio channels:

I am listening quite a lot to the Danish radio program P8 Jazz. The few words said is in danish, but the focus is on music. I can easily add them myself but the selection of music is too good to not be offered to a broader audience. I have also brought the links to the two other DR music channels that I however do not hear much:

DR P8 Jazz: http://live-icy.gss.dr.dk:8000/A/A22H.mp3

DR P7 Contemporary: http://live-icy.gss.dr.dk:8000/A/A21H.mp3

DR P6 Beat http://live-icy.gss.dr.dk:8000/A/A29H.mp3

all 192 Kpbs.

It seems that AlSA has a "'Fixed process flow" option.

Hi,

Fixed process flow is not a filter bypass according to the data sheet. Its a program that allows other signal processing options to be enabled (via Purepath Studio) for example Dynamic Range Compression.

The data sheet indicates that feeding a 384 kHz rate to the chip will result in no oversampling i.e., filter bypass.

Hi Henry,

Thanks for the direct stream links. I'll add the stations to Moode 2.6, listening to P8 Jazz as I write. 192k :)

Hi Tim,

Moode's working great on my Raspberry Pi 2, and I'm eagerly waiting for 2.6. Just a couple things.

1) I would like another radio station to be added, if you have the time. It's the local classical station CFMZ-FM, and the streaming URL is here: http://stream.classical963fm.com:8017

2) This seems fanciful, but a way to automate setting up an external display from the Web GUI would be nice.
 
*EDIT:

rewriting the img to the SD card has fixed these issues
**********************************************

Trying Moode for the first time (had been using RUNE and Openelec previously).

Have a Raspbery Pi 1 Model B.
Using Moode 2.5

2 issues:

1) shutdown does not shut down the player, I still need to pull the plug (not sure if that is correct behavior)

2) After shutdown and restart I can access the Config screen.
After making changes I can go back to the main screen, however cannot return to the config options (menu opens, you can navigate to config but cannot go past the config screen, browser just says "waiting for moode". You can navigate back to the player screen).

3) unable to remove (or edit) a NAS share (SMB), browser just says "waiting for moode".

Can play radio without issue.

Any ideas?

**** nvm didn't see the edit. good that's solved.


@JRace

I run it (latest - 2.5 Release 2016-02-27) on my raspy 1 b+.
Everyday. Turning it on and off everyday.
I don't have those issues.
For my system this is the best release ever.
Perfectly stable and fully featured.

And I also run lots of things on top of it (transmission, lirc, lastfm scrobble etc).
Huge lossless library.
No problems.

I'm particularly picky and I can say I have no bugs in my daily usage.
(BTW thanks to Tim :cheers:)

Check if you wrote correctly the sd card. I had similar issues in past with damaged cards/writes gone wrong/corrupted images.
 
CDNX 1 and CDNX 2, the two stations operated by Camden Xperience are available via these addresses:
http://svr1.msmn.co:8136 (CDNX 1)
http://216.120.247.102:8118 (CDNX 2)

Sadly both are only broadcasting @ 128 kb/s, but hey good indie/alternative vibes... When there's a chance could they be added to the list of radio stations?

Thanks, didn't know them! I like the genre, nice to have them in moode's next version :note:

Spoke too soon....

First, thanks Tim!

Disabled volume control, now playlist dissapeared, and can only play radio....

And my library is missing about 75% of the albums. Removing nas share, and reloading it still only finds about 25%...

Renamed shares, this appeard to force an update.
Default playlist returned, can add songs to it and play them back and volume disabled (good!)
Now library is only at 5% of total size (bad!)
