Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

Lorenzo, I have the same issue and look forward to a fix. MoOde works wonderfuly via a browser interface, but the MoOde UI never displays on the Official Raspberry pi 7' Touch Screen. The boot up and shut down messages do appear, but nothing after that.

Regards,
Jack

Don't know how many times we are going to have to answer this question before people learn to use the search function...

It's a web-based HEADLESS music player. The FIX would be for you to write a music player that wasn't headless...

It's like complaining that your router has no touchscreen interface - it isn't by fault or by omission or because Tim doesn't know how, it's by design.

Just because various purveyors of screen make one for the Pi, doesn't mean every Pi app has to be designed around one, any more than it should come with a camera
 
It can't just be me.... 🙁

When I try and add an SMB share, the system just sits there spinning its wheels.

After I make the SMB share change and update, I don't get any confirmation until I reopen a new Moode window.

Looking at 'top', I have multiple php5-fpm iterations running taking about 1.7% CPU each.

I can't access any configuration screens - just sits there spinning, spawning another php5-fpm thread.

If I walk away and come back fifteen minutes later, it's sometimes completed loading the configuration screen, but most often not. Can't do anything until a reboot (have to go via ssh - Moode reboot from the UI never happens).

Pi3, wifi, static IP, IQ Audio Dac+, sox high, time set to Pacific/Auckland, Sandisk ultra 8gb and Sandisk 128gb flash drive.

It seems that this always happens when I am playing around with NAS settings, which invariably error. Deleting the nas entry doesn't seem to work - when I finally get back into configuration, the previous entry is still there with a bid red X.

Dmesg and moode.log show normal boot and operation.

It looks like it's hung up on trying to validate my share.

Other than reflashing the SD, any ideas?
I had this sort of experience. Look back on my posts. Tim had posted a procedure that clears out the entry in the sql database.

No problem. I understood it was headless, but saw the link about how to enable the display and then the proverbial AssUMe came into my thinking.
 
Yes I totally agree with you, but it would be really great to see usb device immediately after I plug it in. No need for mpd db update or indexing. It would be temporary device anyway. More like a shortcut to mnt/SDCARD...

Just like a regular player/computer/phone/tablet etc. What do you think?

Hi,

It could be a setting for example "Auto-update on USB insertion [Yes/No]" . I'll add to the TODO list.

Hi guys,
After trying Volumio (-> Too slow, problems with the NFS mount 😡), RuneAudio (-> Suddenly broke on a reboot 🙁 ) I am now with Moode and are quite pleased so far 🙂
The NFS mount did work, and even did work after the reboot (did not on the 2 other), the mpd library was populated (MPD stats give me 6000 songs; 17 days playtime), and the NAS shows up in the Browse Panel. I can use mpc search to find, add and play songs from the mpc library.

One thing unfortunately does not work:
The moode library (library tab) is empty, except for the one test song that came with Moode; therefore the Library is apparently working, however none of the songs from the NAS can be found in there.

Can you please advise?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT:
I pressed Update MPD Library again; and - :worship: - it works!
Nevermind my post.

Hi,

Glad to hear that 🙂 FYI if you press Library tab before MPD db update completes, it will only have partial content. This is because it creates a cache file that is used thereafter instead of re-reading mpd database each time. The Library cache is cleared anytime MPD db is updated via the button or "Update this folder" selection in the Browse panel.

Hi,

The issue with Moode UI on the 7" Touch is that this display is 16:10 aspect ratio and Moode UI is designed for 4:3 a/r (iPad's). You end up with bottom part of UI cut off requiring scrolling. I briefly looked at some of the css to see if it would be possible to create a 16:10 a/r version but I didn't see any obvious way to do it.

Hi,

Just an FYI that no power in my area since Wednesday due to massive wind storm in SE Michigan that knocked out power to over 1M customers. There is a lot of roof, tree and other serious damage. Estimate is Sunday evening for power restoration to 90% customers.

....Tim
Sorry to hear that, Tim, hopefully your home wasn't damaged! Good luck and stay safe and warm!

Running on the Zero W now for 24 hours. Get random 2 second cut-outs during wifi streaming (shairport or direct), and still trying to diagnose / get it to repeat consistently. Can go for >30 minutes without happening. Processor load seems around 17% during shairport. Anyone else see this? Zero is 10ft from my access point. Synced Pi3 2 rooms over never cuts out. Took a long time to build the library from my NAS (OMV) on the zero too. But I love it!

Hi,

What kernel version?

-Tim
 
Zero W with a HifiBerry DAC+ 'clone'
ver: 1.1
Linux kernel: 4.9.13+
Architecture: ARMv6l
MPD version: 0.19.19
Hdwr rev: Unknown Pi-model

Streams BBC Radio 1 nicely BUT the volume is not as loud as when running off a Pi2
Kurt Cobain isn't making my ears bleed even when ALSA vol set to 100%........

Hi Tim, the Audiophonics modified version of Moose fits very nicely on the official 7 inch rpi display. Perhaps you could have a look at how they changed the CSS.
