Tim,
Thanks you very much for your reply.
I checked all the conf file, they look normal, but the audio info is not, I don't see the output stream and the rate is 0. However, my phone is playing music using BT.
Hi,
Output stream 0 in Audio info means ALSA not outputting anything.
This is the cmd (card0 - I2S or On-board, card1 - USB)
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
Is there a bluealsa-aplay task?
Maybe some other audio app is blocking ALSA output for example if Squeezelite is ON it will block.
-Tim
Thanks Tim,
I have now got a result from the command "sudo fdisk -l -o Device,Start,Type | grep 0p" with offsets for the 2 partitions.
I will now work my way through the steps - thanks again.
Rob
Tim,
I am again stuck - on this command "sudo sed -i "s/init=.*//" /mnt/tmp1/cmdline.txt"
I get this result "sed: can't read /mnt/tmp1/cmdline.txt: No such file or directory"
Is this again caused by me not using Raspbian? The instructions did not mention that I should.
The reason why I am not, is because I want to leave my RPi alone with Moode V3.8, so I can continue to enjoy music while I try and get a working version of Moode 4.
Rob
Thanks Tim. I eventually figured this out and continued with the process. After doing step 11 I now have a situation where the system stops the boot process saying that it is in emergency mode but then says. "Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked. See sulogin(8) for more details. Press enter to continue." It stays in this loop. Something must have happened in /etc/fstab to cause this.Hi,
moOde is headless. Unplug locally attached display and keyboard, reboot, then from another computer on you network:
Nymeria, moode.local or IP_ADDRESS_OF_PI, whichever works on your network.
If u want terminal access then:
ssh pi@moode (pwd=moodeaudio)
-Tim
Probably an issue caused by me in misunderstanding the instruction in Step 11. I am uncertain about the spacing in the following instruction.
echo "/var/local/moode.sqsh /var/www squashfs ro,defaults 0 0">>/etc/fstab
Is that spacing correct or should there be a space between the last " and >> charachters?
If I got this wrong would it cause the issue?
Thanks

This might mean you last 'mount' operation is not successful.
the '/dev/sda1' in the recipe refer to the USB stick that has the img in it. It is not necessarily the same for your own situation. it could be '/dev/sdb1' or '/dev/sdc1'. the quick way to check is unplug the USB stick and type in 'ls /dev/sd*'. Then plug in you usb stick, give your os a few seconds to detect it, then type in the same command again. By comparing results, you can find out the device name of the USB drive.
assume /dev/sda1 is the first partition of your USB drive.
This command: 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp' is to mount /dev/sda1 to a folder so that you can see the content in it. You don't need to do this step if auto-mount of USB device is enabled in your system. If it is enabled, the content of the USB drive shall pop up in the explorer. As long as you can see the *.img file, you are good!
next step is to mount the img to a folder so that you can see modify the content of the img. For this img (beta 6) the offset for the boot partition is 4194304 for everyone, because we are using the same image, you don't need to calculate it. next partition starts at offset 48234496 also the same as in the recipe.
just type the command like this:
sudo mount -v -o offset=4194304 -t vfat <location of your img file>/2017-09-07-raspbian-stretch-lite.img /mnt/tmp1
you should be able to start from there.
Hi, may i ask did you get the bluetooth feature working?Tim, advanced kernel question..? Not available...? Link to install..?

Hi Zootalaws,
I figured this would be the easier way to go, so I am doing exactly as you suggested. Thanks
Regards, Rob
Tim, advanced kernel question..? Not available...? Link to install..?

Hi Bob,
I did leave all the Adv kernel UI and selection code in moOde if at some point a distro maintainer wants to take on responsibility for the Adv kernel Sources.

Ahh, got it. Thanks ! The UI had me 😕

Thank you Tim for Beta 7
The link under "DOWNLOAD MOODE" is still pointing to Beta 6 zip file.
Beta 7 + Build Recipe 1.1 is available under "SOURCES"
I'm just having a coffee while running Step 7.5....

May I ask, is there anyone successfully got the bluetooth streaming on moode 4.0 working?
If anyone succeed, I will try reinstall everything again.
Yes working all fine here on beta6, tested it with my iphone.

Once you've burnt the latest stretch image to an SD card (I use Etcher on Manjaro) you need to use the trick of copying an empty ssh file and wpa_supplicant.conf to the boot partitionI just got a Pi Zero W. How can I connect to my network using the on-board WiFi?
This is the contents of my wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="BTHub-blahblah"
psk="keyblahblah"
}
Good luck

Beta 7 is up and running now.
Currently i'm testing with a PI 3 and a Hifiberry+pro card.
Sound is good, parametric EQis working - but unfortunately UPNP renderer and Shairplay do not work - as for now

Tried beta 7 but something must have gone wrong in the first 200 steps as when I got to moode.local it said mpd wasn't running.
I might try again next weekend.
A few scripts in the recipe might save some time in the install.

On step 2 - install core packages
Shouold it be mpc \bs2b-ladspa install of mpc \ bs2b-ladspa?
Same for the second \

Just enter the 3 lines at once, just as you wrote... then hit enter

It wasn’t what I suggested, it was literally step one of the build instructions - the instructions that tell you what it was that you said Tim didn’t tell you you needed to do.
