Completely agree, I'm in the UK, I'm not particularly wealthy, but $10 is what an hour labour for someone hypothetically on minimum wage, I think moode is worth 1 hour of someone's labour in worth, but nobody is forced into buying it.

Why shouldn't Tims hundreds if not thousands of man hours of effort be rewarded?

Yet to install 3.5, paid, downloaded, got the key.

Also got 3 kids and no time!

Paid by the government, so not much wage rises since 2008... and just had the car written off in an accident.

I'm happy to pay £10 for such a major release. It seems only fair to reward such work that I get such pleasure for.

This is quite a niche product, and I like to think we're all part of a gang and friends.

Tim has my whole hearted support, and I'm always happy to buy a friend a coffee and a piece of cake when I can!

Those that don't wish to pay, 3.1 is a very good and stable release, for around £50 quid you can make a device that rivals hifi equipment costing *hundred* of pounds.

I'm still not quite sure I understand your configuration. The info below might help troubleshooting the issue.

1. Hifiberry DAC+ Pro occilators (clocks) kill Wifi on Pi-3B. Refer to Git issue 1588. This is a hardware issue.
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1588

2. /boot/config.txt should contain the lines below when Pi-3 Wifi/BT is turned off

dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi

3. Output from ifconfig command should show either no wlan0, or if you are using a WiFi dongle then wlan0 will appear. There should be no wlan1 in this case.

Link destination is PI3B Built-in WIFI does not work. The problem is different, I think.

2. and 3.
It was found that the same trouble occurs even with only PI 3B board.
(I don't use WIFI dongle, of course)

My posts are getting moderated (and hence I am unable to edit earlier post).

I managed to fix the command
sudo sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "update cfg_audiodev set kernel='' where id='1’"

The apostrophe before the number 1 was replaced with the single quote and it worked.

Next, I moved on to the audio configuration, after a reboot.
I could see the Allo BOSS DAC right on the top - so I selected it and tried to do all the configuration indicated in the 'readme.txt'.
I had a little trouble with mounting my NAS drive share, but in the end I managed to do that. After a few minutes, I could see the albums getting loaded up in MoOde. I got pretty excited and tried to play a track. There was no sound.
I noticed that the Volume level was 0 - so I changed that to 20 - still no sound.
Then I tried to increase it further and I got a warning that the limit is 25 - so I changed the limit to 30 and increased the volume to 28. Still no sound.

Something is wrong, but I am not sure what.

Hi,

Boss only supported in the Advanced kernels.

Hi,

I'm able to report this.

There is an alternate method for disabling Wifi/BT which was used in Moode 3.1. I'll run some tests later today with this method and get back to you.

Hi John,

Prolly a hardware compatibility issue with pi3+reclocker+audioboard and the experimental adv kernels.

Indeed. Replacing the Pi3 with a Pi2 enabled me to load the RT Kernel with no trouble. Sounds great. :)
I was interested to discover that the Piano 2.1 DAC will now output full spectrum audio through both MAIN and SUB outputs when playing 24 bit files (or with upsampling to 24 bit selected).

Just sent.... Thanks for looking

Hi,

I'm able to repro the issue where AIFF tags are not being picked up by MPD update. The result suggests a possible bug in 0.20.6 MPD based on log file output below.

Added to TODO list for fixes
