Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

[Maximilien]

Hello,

I am using Moode (update done to 8.2.1) on a Rpi 3b+ with the official 7" touch screen.
I use local UI enable and all works except that chromium is crashing on the local UI quite frequently. (I have this issue since release 8) and I could not figure out why.

here what is displayed:

I tried to remove chromium cache folder from home user folder (through SSH connection) but it did not solve.
I just observed that it seems happening only when overlay is displayed when I use spotify or airplay as source.

Does someone got the same issue? and maybe found a solution?

I don't recall seeing that issue but it never hurts to re-test. I'll see if I can repro.

 

[TimCurtis]

I'm not able to repro. My test was with an attached HDMI TV, Airplay 2 from an iPhone.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for this wonderful OS, I am new to this. Roon bridge is installed and I want to display album art to my TV via HDMI. My roon is installed on windows 10. Is it possible to display album art from my raspberry Pi to TV via HDMI? I have enabled local display in Moode.

moOde only supports cover art to local display from its own MPD based music library. Other audio players for example Roon, Spotify, LMS, and players via Bluetooth or Airplay can play audio through moOde via their respective audio renderer but cover art is not supported.

I'm not sure but possibly the very nice Ropieee player can handle cover art from Roon?

MoOde newby here I'm afraid!!🤔
Have MoOde installed on Rasp Pi3+....and this is networked to my PC...all working!
Ideally....want to run the Pi independently of the PC (It creates lots of digititus, and I can't shift it)

Using PiCoreplayer/LMS....it was possible to control playback using the 'Squeezer' android app.

Sonically, I'm drawn towards the MoOde route.....is there an app that can control pi/MoOde playback over my wired network please.

Open a Browser and enter one of the following

http://moode
http://moode.local
http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_THE_PI

Aaaagghhh....is this....a browser on the Android phone.....or on the PC that I'm trying to eventually make redundant?

.......Got it.....it's on the Phone!!!

 

[TimCurtis]

Either or both.

IIRC on Android below a certain version, IP_ADDRESS_OF_PI had to be used. I think newer versions of Android can use http://moode.local

.... putting the address of PI directly did it for me!

I think there is also a way on Android to save the Browser page as a "Home Screen app" which gets rid of the Browser top and bottom bars and makes it look like a real app.

I'm looking for that solution at the moment....haven't got there yet!!

Chrome, menu, add to home screen.

Chrome, menu, add to home screen.

...was using Firefox.....and Add to Home screen just wouldn't work.
Taking an absolute age to Regenerate a 500gb library drive.
When I add a 2nd drive(128gb pen-drive)......must I go through this lengthy process again....or can I physically remove the 500gb drive???

Thanks for the reply. HDMI is disabled in Ropieee. Trying Volumio. I really dont want to buy a chromecast for this.

Hi everyone, glad to be a member here!
I'm making excuse if my post doesn't belong to this topic but if it is not would you please take a look at this IR remote control for moOde audio player. It is a DIY project made by myself. It is because I just wanted to have a decent remote control for the best audio player software available 🙂 . It can do Vol+/-/Mute and probably a lot more but also can make RPi to do a safely PowerOff/On/Reset. The idea is just simple as it reads from IR remote control and then simulates acting as a media keyboard. It is connected to RPi only via USB no other wiring is needed and you just have to enable USB Volume Knob feature.
Thanks

Can you post a link to your nice project?

Sure Tim, I've put it in the text above behind the word "this", but here is it https://github.com/ivanspirit/moOde-audio-player-advanced-IR-remote-control-receiver , not sure is it possible or how to edit my previous post.

Hi all, I have a problem with connecting Spotify to moode, i have the 8.2.2 version on pi 4 8GB, it has been working on some past versions of moode, when i updated it ~3 months back it stopped, thought this was a bug with Spotify that would be fixed soon but the issue is still there. I have the Spotify renderer on, settings as per attached screen. Moode is connected via Ethernet, it worked like this in the past. I would appreciate any suggestions how to fix this. Thank you, Wojtek
