Hi Phil,
Thanks. I've made the change on all 6 of my test systems and not seeing any issues so far.
If nothing comes up I'l go with it for TR3.

Hi Rob,
Yes, feedback indicates still issues in 4.4.8 kernel USB driver. Thankfully the workaround still provides some relief.

I just came across this thread and Moodeaudio. I've been using volumio for some time now, and wonder if I should change for something better. I like it a lot, but miss one little feature: I love streaming from ios using Airplay, but literaly hate how I can't get the same from my android (at least unrooted) devices. Does Moode support something like this? If it can be done, I'll set it up right away.
Hi,
After a bit of coding and testing I think I have a pretty robust replacement for MPD random play which I've named "True random play" 🙂
It's actually a separate service (auto-shuffle) that hangs off MPD idle timeout and when event indicates "last track in playlist has finished playing" auto-shuffle selects a random track from music library, adds it to the end of the playlist and starts playback.
I've enhanced it so that whenever auto-shuffle is on, consume mode is also on. This results in the last track being removed by MPD before auto-shuffle adds a new track, thus a continuous stream of music is generated without growing the playlist 🙂
Screen shots show the service setting on System config plus a couple shots of Playback panel showing a few random tracks that were added staying at position 96.
Regards,
Tim

Hi, Tim,
God as gold!
Thank you smart reply!
In most case, I use re-sampling function when playing a source of 44.1KHz/16bit.
But,it is so desirable that there are a lot of options which consist of hierarchical structure like a JRMC DSP.
Warm Regards.
Hello all,
1. - Can anyone tell me how can i enable cron at startup? I tried almost everthing but cant manage it.
2. - Can you please Tim make an option that allows mpd.conf to choose device to "hw:0:1". My DAC is Audinst HUD-mini, to make it run i changed mpd.conf and chown to root so mpd doesn't change it.
I'm still using 2.4 version.

Tim, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it already, but..
Is there a chance to have the "max volume limited" pop-up optional?
I mean, once I set the volume limit to less than 99 and click the volume dial somewhere near the end of range, I'd like it to just jump to the predefined max volume and don't display pop-up. Currently, it just displays pop-up and once closed - the volume is where it was, so I have to precisely increase it in steps to not exceed my limit.

You'll need 2.6 TR1 or later, and use
Code:
sudo systemctl enable cronEarlier versions stop cron at each startup.
Hi there,
as the website links to here I assume this is the support thread. Tell me if I'm wrong.
As you see close to 3000 posts so almost imposible to find or search, sorry if that have been asked hundred of times.
With a RaspB 2 B, latest Moode build, first as WiFi dongle a Bewan, then a D-Link, now an Edimax aka The best Raspberry dongle" as adivsed everywhere, a 2A Asus' tablet supply, an USB DAC.
I've experienced endless reboot but that seems related to bad power usb cable. Other cable and only that 2A PSU: fine.
Now on Ethernet, DHCP:
works fine, plays flawlessly, found my SMB shared files. Great!
Sadly I need wireless for final location.
Go to network menu, enter the SSID (nothing fancy: "WiHiFi"), select WEP, then password wich is only numbers. I don't care Access Point so left it untouched, even if channel is not the same.
Nothing happens, never. First, when dongle is plugged, the Wifi(wlan0) status under DHCP/Static menu is always "Not in use". If I check my LAN I see the moode.local and its IP with Ethernet, nothing, never, with WiFi. I apply, shut-down, unplug Ethernet, reboot: nothing. Then Ethernet back: shows up.
What I've done wrong, seems pretty straightforward!
If it can help my Wifi/Ethernet router is my internet acess point, a "Freebox" wich is used to acess "Free", a french provider.
It's driving me maaaaaad!

ssh in to the box and look at /etc/network/interfaces
If it has the line "auto wlan0" change it to "allow-hotplug wlan0"
Reboot and see if that fixes the issue.

Hi,
I'd suggest updating to 2.6 TR2 then cron can easily be configured to start at boot by running the command below.
sudo systemctl enable cron
Its odd that Audinst USB device needs mixer index 1 instead of 0. I've not seen this in USB DAC's. A few bits of code would need to be changed in /var/www/inc/playerlib.php and function wrk_mpdconf(). If u want to try this email tim at moodeaudio dot org.

Hi Marek,
Having the volume limit warning automatically set volume to limit would defeat the protection it provides which is to prevent accidentally setting a potentially speaker-blowing high volume as a result of an errant touch or mouse click.
The warning limit can be disabled by setting it to 100.
Regards,
Tim
Hi,
Is Router actually configured to use WEP for WiFi security?
When selecting WEP in Network config, the file /etc/net/interfaces will look like below in Moode 2.6 TR2
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-power off
wireless-essid "MySSID"
wireless-key "MyWEPPassword"
NOTE that in upcoming TR3 auto wlan0 will be replaced by allow-hotplug wlan0.

Tim

Hi,
Just a brief update on completed content for TR3
- True random play (auto-shuffle)
- Replaygain setting added to MPD config
- Replace auto wlan0 with allow-hotplug wlan0 in auto-geerated /etc/network/interfaces
- Perform NAS mounts later in the startup sequence
- Fixed url for Resonance Radio
- Add WBJC Baltimore - Classical
- Add WCLV Cleveland - Classical
- Add WCRB Boston - Classical
- Add WFMT Chicago - Classical
- Add WQED Pittsburgh - Classical
- Add WRTI Philadelphia - Classical
- Add WRTI Philadelphia - Jazz
Remaining TODO for TR3:
- add UI and components for MPD Audio Scrobbler (mpdas)
- bump MPD compile to 0.19.15 to see if in fact it supports decode of BBC 320K HLS streams.
Regards,
Tim

Thanks Phil and Tim,
yes it is right now WEP even if it can manage 3 types of WPA if needed. So I have to learn how to command by line... sigh... =) I'll be the sucker here =(
Any link? Coz the Mac terminal insults me, "The authenticity of host 'moode.local (2a01:e34:eec1:30:a6cb:d049:f98a:45c2)' can't be established.", "Permission denied, please try again." and other birdnames 😉

Hi Tim, Radio listing 'Folk radio UK' seems to have changed its stream to .... http://streaming.radionomy.com/FolkRadioUK
