Hello Tim,

No luck getting 3.5 to work with Pi3 and Boss on this end...there is no option for the Allo Boss DAC? Selecting Allo Piano does not work. Tried all three kernels (RT, LL, and standard). What am I missing?

Hi,

I am able to repro this and it looks like a regression.

As soon as I fix it I'll put out an update.

Thanks for your insight. I tried simply moving my Python script to a different directory, /home/pi/www/command, and modifying the systemd unit file to point to that location. The service loads, but it will not start, not exactly sure why, so no luck there.

Cheers, Bryce.

Hi Tim,

I just bought a moode 3.5 key and I am currently installing it on a Pi Zero W. May I have oe request: do you plan to eventually offer Moode translations (in particular French...) as Volumio does ? For the time being I do not get lags as what I got with Volumio... It is a very good point ! However it is always a bit difficult to adjust the volume using the Moode interface (there, the adjustment seems to be a bit sluggish), but it is maybe to the low computing power from the Pi Zero W...

Thank you for your support !

Hi,

Having international language support would be nice but implementing it is beyond my experience. I would need someone to guide me on the coding framework that would enable this.

I already have got the license key; i don't know the method for installing OS image. (sorry for my poor english but i don't use it often and I'm Italian).

Obviously it's difficult to diagnose without knowing what you have done, but after modifying the unit file did you run a global reload

Code:

systemctl daemon-reload

and or reload the specific service with systemctl?

https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...ystemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units

Is a good reference page

I rebooted after making the changes. That had worked fine on version 3.1. I also tried daemon-reload as you suggested, but the results were the same.

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ sudo systemctl status hw_pause_play
● hw_pause_play.service - Moode Audio Pause/Play
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/hw_pause_play.service; enabled)

Thanks Tim!

Upgraded to 3.5 and it's looking good.No problems with kali/piano combo - beautiful sound. However I'm still getting the annoying clicks between songs with my main system (rpi3 + kali + dual ak4495 with ian fifo i2s overlay).. It seems that it happens when the fifo gets out of sync between tracks. Any ideas? Someone swiched to squeezelite but I'd like to stay with mpd.

Thanks and regards,

Tommi

I'm not sure how much help this will be but systemd's service files (in raspbian) should be located in

/lib/systemd/system/hw_pause_play.service

And not

/usr/lib/systemd/system/hw_pause_play.service

Hope this is some help

Thanks LTF.

That does make more sense. I was following someone else's instructions and that is where the usr/lib came from. I made the change, disabled and then enabled the service, did a daemon-reload but it still fails to start. Exactly the same messages as before. I am obviously missing something but not sure what it is.

Cheers, Bryce.

Hi,

If you know a little Linux ssh then try the cmd below. its a workaround until I can get an in-place update packaged up. Note that the Boss driver only works in the Adv kernels.

sudo sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "update cfg_audiodev set kernel='' where id='1’"

Sorry Tim, how can i copy my pre-saved playlists in playlist folder on raspy?
(and eventually tag_cache file)

Thanks

learntofly · 2017-04-15 10:52 pm

What's the output of:

Code:

cat /lib/systemd/system/hw_pause_play.service

Saved playlists are stored in /var/lib/mpd/playlists

You can copy them to a USB stick via an ssh terminal session

insert USB stick
ssh pi@moode (pwd=raspberry)
cp /var/lib/mpd/playlists/* /media/DISK_LABEL

Is it possible trought an ftp client like WinScp or Filezilla?

Small Bug

It seems that updating the System Configuration / General / Browser title does not work in 3.5.

I changed the text, clicked on SET and then rebooted the RPi. Browser title stays as MoOde Player. I tried this a couple of time in both Chrome and Edge.

Hi Bryce,

I'm able to repro this. Its a data bug. The stored value in the sql table has two spaces between the words while the actual <title> value has only one space. Its almost impossible to notice that there are two spaces between the word when the stored value is displayed on System config.

Here is how to fix it.

1) Change MoOde Player to MoOde2 Player (make sure there is only a single space between the two words.

2) Change MoOde2 Player back to MoOde Player

Sometimes it takes a bit before a Browser refresh reveals to updated title.

Tim, are you planning to release versions later for free or moode turned to payware?

MarkThomson · 2017-04-16 12:30 am

Great software - bought my 3.5 license

Really enjoying the 3.1 of MoOde and just bought the upgrade to 3.5.
Keep up the great work, Tim.
