Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

@Peterwitkin, the display perf issue is apparently caused by chromium browser v130 series.

Each moode release uses the latest RPi packages at that time so our users get the all the bug fixes, security patches and improvements but in the case of chromium the recent v130 releases have some problems.

For our upcoming 9.2.0 release we are shipping with chromium v126 which takes care of the perf issues. For in-place update there is a new "Downgrade chromium' option on Peripheral Config which installs v126.

But your best bet is to get a Forum account so you can access the latest info on issues, fixes and upcoming releases.

Hi,

moOde 9.2.0 is available in the Media Player OS section of the Raspberry Pi Imager or as a direct download at https://moodeaudio.org. Visit the Forum for more information https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=7215&pid=60057#pid60057

So, installed (clean install) the last version.
I am keeping an old sdcard with version 8.

Lineup sees an Amanero 384 with a diy AD1862 DAC.

I get always cracks and pops in sound, they are slightly less with v8, unlistenable with v9.

When the USB is connected to the phone, it works flawlessly, so I tend to exclude an issue by the Amanero/DAC side.

Configuration, it has Amanero 384 combo as output device.
Named i2s device is empty, I tried all the 3 possible options for i2s dac (generic, hifiberry, the other french one), same situation.
Other parameters are just out of the installation, so plain vanilla. No DSP, no Camilla, anything.
What do I do wrong?

PS.: am I in the right thread?

Thanks
 
Hi @TimCurtis I have installed Moode and can see that it cant do separate Left and Right channel PEQ.
But I used REW to export .txt to .wav files so I can use the Quick Convolution feature in Moode , for separate left and right channel convolution.

Can Moode play to local web browser on the home network? Any plans to add this feature , like Volumio does?
 
Hi @TimCurtis

I want to apply Camilla DSP left and right channel EQ/convolution to Spotify stream in my car. For room correction, where room is the car.

With my Pi4 staying at home.

I just tried Volumio and they have a web browser playback - you just go to the IP address on phone and can browse your music library or use SPotify Connect and audio comes out of the phone/tablet/whatever device you use the browser.

However I just learnt that with Volumio their CamillaDSP (FusionDSP) applies to all outputs EXCEPT their browser playback. So there is no point playing Spotify to Spotify Connect Volumio and then have sound come from phone browser in my car without any DSP applied. Might as well just be using Spotify directly from my phone in my car without EQ (yuck!)

If you can have web browser playback and the CamillaDSP also affects this web browser playback, then this is the only solution I'm aware of that makes convolution/PEQ possible to Spotify stream. With a nice looking GUI anyway. Probably can be possible with CLI.

If it works with webbrowser on my phone at home (going to IP address in web browser), the rest is simple. My phone is able to access my home LAN when outside of home via VPN setup. My phone behaves as if it is local at home.

Then I can simply output the browser audio via bluetooth in my car and I have Spotify + Parametric EQ for 'room' correction. Also can be used for portable headphones use.

Everything is there in Moode - just needs web browser audio output and CamillaDSP affecting this stream also.
 
hello,
I juste upgrade my moodeaudio 8 with a Rpi3 to moode9 ona Rpi5 (i used a tone1 usb dac), almost all is fine except airplay. my devices (iphone13, mac mini oor appleTV) can connect to airplay but I got no sound (the moodeaudio web interface does show that airplay is connected.

I did not find any option in configuration menu that could explain that behavior (reboot does not provide any improvement)

Connecting via VPN to a home LAN based music server is kind of a niche usage scenario, at least for our project.

In any case heres some info

Moode can apply CamillaDSP to output from MPD, Bluetooth (inbound), AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Deezer Connect and Squeezelite before sending the final processed ALSA stream to the locally attached audio device.

CamillaDSP is not applied to Bluetooth (outbound) i.e. moode outputting to a remote Bluetooth speaker because we don't run CamillaDSP as standalone service, which is required for its bluez-alsa backend that would enable this capability.

We output to the alsa_cdsp I-O plugin which starts/stops CamillaDSP and handles automatic sample rate and bit depth switching. https://github.com/scripple/alsa_cdsp

For remote Browser playback, moode supports the MPD HTTP server which is an internal MPD plugin and functions like a basic Icecast server on default port 8000 using MP3 320K format. AFAIK DSP can't be applied to this output.
