Hi,
In MPD config:
- turn off DoP
- turn on SoX resampling at your preferred rate
If MPD/SoX resampling is not enabled then ALSA apparently performs resampling, and in some of my tests I've seen some odd results like 100% volume being output. I've never had this issue when SoX enabled.
So when u test DSF always start with 0 volume and then bump it by 1 to make sure!

Tim
Hi James,
A customized Raspbian Wheezy/Jessie OS.
I don't really test HDMI audio output but I recall some posts in this thread that discussed using it.

Good evening to all,
I bought Mytek 192 DSD DAC yesterday. This device has two USB inputs (1.1 and 2.0). The problem is that USB 2.0 input which allow 192KHz PCM and DSD files cannot lock with moode audio. I realized that the problem is that the device needs the correct drivers to lock. Searching I found that a device owner has written drivers specifically for this device.
You can see those here:
https://github.com/lintweaker/mytekusb2
My problem is that I have no experience at all with the use of the procedure needed to install drivers via ssh or anything else.
Could someone help me please? I use mac computer and If you can help me, I know that I need really detailed instructions.
many thanks

I installed 2.5 TR3.
Very easy!
A few questions I didn't find in the forum:
Rescanning the NFS library took more than an hour. On TR1 and 2.4 it was maybe 10 minutes. I'm on the same machine, the same network and the NFS share is the same. Any ideas?
When browsing albums in the library the order of songs on the album is screwed up. It must be the GUI - other mpd clients displays the order correct. Did I do something wrong?

Hi,
I don't recall making any changes to NFS code in 2.5 that could affect throughput but nonetheless it may be a regression bug or unintended side-effect bug from a seemingly unrelated change between TR1 and TR3.
Here are the 2.5 relnotes entries pertaining to NAS mounts
- UPD: Changed CIFS mount rsize/wsize to defaults rsize=61440 and wsize=65536 for improved throughput
mount
- UPD: Differentiate between CIFS lazy umount and NFS force umount
Couple of things that can be done to troubleshoot:
(1) Turn on MPD logging and examine the log for anything suspicious
(2) Run an A/B test in your current environment using A=TR1 and B=TR3 using same Pi and see if u can reproduce the same result of 10 mins vs 1 hour mentioned in your post. If same results, I can investigate 🙂
With regard to the sort order issue, please zip up some tracks from that album and send download link to tim at moodeaudio dot org and I'll investigate 🙂

Tim
Hi,
FYI: there is a bug in 2.5 that prevents currentsong.txt from being updated at every song change.

Tested Mode 2.5 TR3 with R-Pi 2 and Soekris DAM1021.
Great player. With DAM1021 have very low jitter. Exceptionally sound.
For future updates would be useful to see the bitrate, frequency, type of file as an option. Also as an option if you can select in the library with one touch disk or song to play.
Is there any program that allows order my music library and allows to add cover?
So that it appears ordered in Moodle.
Thank you.

Hi,
Nice to hear that its working with Soekris R2R DAC 🙂
(1) Audio info popup shows detailed info regarding file
(2) One-click play from Library is on my TODO list to investigate
Regards,
Tim
Yes, I know it. I am continually selecting this option. Is why I like to see part of it on the screen always.
Thank you for answering so quickly. I just made a donation. Move on with the project..

Hi,
I've experimented with various approaches for displaying the extra info along with each song item on Playlist and the only one that might work is to add a another line:
Hey Now What You Doing 05:13
New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call
...audio info goes here...
One issue I've encountered with adding the info to each item is that it really bogs down displaying the list because of the time it takes to extract the EncodedAt bit depth/rate.

some thoughts in tr3
Hi,
Very new to audio distros on the pi (Pi1b). Tested some and think I will stick with Moode 😉
Before I list my findings/wishes I would like to congratulate you with a wonderful and very responsive player!
I only play via HDMI to my receiver so I'm not a real audiophile but for me the sound is very good.
While "testing" there where some thoughts popping into my mind (if that is correct English) and things that annoy me. For some they may seem to be trivial but here they come...
1. If volume is set to disabled, remove the circle from the screen.
2. If the playlist is removed from the home screen then do not show a message it is disabled but remove it and shift circles etc to the left.
3. Although the thought behind the library is nice, it is extremely hard to find stuff and also if not run in fullscreen (iMac, OSX El Capitan, Safari browser) the buttons at the bottom of the screen do not let me see the last part of the library list (ie. Artists).
4. When coming back to the "home" screen from settings or other screen most of the time the time circle has gone to circle heaven and the songtime and total time are written at the same spot. Refresh does help but that should be done automatically.
5. It would be nice if I could single click in the browse window on songs (or double-click) to only add that song and play it direct (or make that a choice in settings). Now i need to go all the way to the right side of the screen and select it from a drop down menu.
6. On my Rpi 1 B I have two USB ports. In the browse windows I see four(!) usb devices (three empty, I have only one USB stick connected). LSUSB lists four devices but that is wrong in my opinion.
Well, that is it for now. Keep up the good work and please don't be to harsh on me. 🙄

Loosing a connection to my external USB drive
I'm loosing a connection to my external USB drive which is connected directly to Pi 2. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
# ls /mnt/USB
ls: cannot access /mnt/USB: Transport endpoint is not connected

Hi,

2. If the playlist is removed from the home screen then do not show a message it is disabled but remove it and shift circles etc to the left.
Both good suggestions and on my TODO list. Eventually I'll get to them 🙂
3. Although the thought behind the library is nice, it is extremely hard to find stuff and also if not run in fullscreen (iMac, OSX El Capitan, Safari browser) the buttons at the bottom of the screen do not let me see the last part of the library list (ie. Artists).
The "obscured list items" bug has been fixed and will either be in TR4 or final release. The Library panel could certainly be enhanced, but up to this point the main problem was fixing the "won't load large collections" problem. The new caching feature plus some changes to MPD from WalkerB seems to have worked.
4. When coming back to the "home" screen from settings or other screen most of the time the time circle has gone to circle heaven and the songtime and total time are written at the same spot. Refresh does help but that should be done automatically.
Very odd. I use ElCap/Safari and am not seeing this behavior on any of my screens. What resolution is your screen?
5. It would be nice if I could single click in the browse window on songs (or double-click) to only add that song and play it direct (or make that a choice in settings). Now i need to go all the way to the right side of the screen and select it from a drop down menu.
Already on my TODO list 🙂
6. On my Rpi 1 B I have two USB ports. In the browse windows I see four(!) usb devices (three empty, I have only one USB stick connected). LSUSB lists four devices but that is wrong in my opinion.
Sometimes all the mount points appear in Browse panel after MPD DB Update. Just restart MPD from the MPD config screen and the unpopulated mount points should disappear.

Hi Tim,
I would also like to echo one of the bugs raised by Bootz:
4. When coming back to the "home" screen from settings or other screen most of the time the time circle has gone to circle heaven and the songtime and total time are written at the same spot. Refresh does help but that should be done automatically.
This actually happens nearly every time I navigate back to the playlist screen.
The circles disappear and in their spot you get 2 to 3 overlapping lines of text. I will try to screenshot it and post it.
Furthermore, it sometimes happens that when trying to scroll through the playlist, the volume gets changed, it's as if the whole screen acts as one giant volume wheel (this also happens with the song progress wheel)
And one odd behavior I have come across in TR2, that wasn't in TR1 is that when left idle, the client seems to disconnect from the server and I get the "reconnect" button in the center of the screen.
After reconnecting, the whole layout and functionality seems off, making it impossible to scroll through the playlist or change tracks.
I tried it on Chrome and Firefox (problem seems more common on Firefox), on an android tablet, an android phone and a win7 laptop.
Regards,
Nick
