I swapped out the USB cable and now the tracks are displaying. So that's good.

However, there are still some things that don't quite make sense to me.

- Generally, it's very slow and balky. Wondering if this is just par for the course on web UIs like this one. Takes forever to switch between panels, for example.

- Playlists display incompletely. In the playback panel, sometimes just a small portion of the tracks show up, and sometimes all of them do. In the Browse panel, only a portion show up, so it's very confusing, and after some time spent loading tracks into a play list, kind of disturbing to fid them not showing up...until they do. The entire playlist should display in the Browse panel, right?

- Tim, it would be helpful if the current playlist loaded would display on the Playback panel, as the little window with the disk icon only says "save playlist."

Sorry to be a pain. Really want to get this thing working properly.

Hi,

All symptoms suggest something external to Moode software. The UI should be fast and responsive and there should never be incomplete display.

MoOde is working great with my Roberts 83i radio using UPnP. Thanks Tim.

One question, when I boot the Pi it re-catalogues all the songs which takes around 45 minutes. Is there a way to get it to remember the catalogue?

The MP3's are on an external self-powered HD which I have connected to the Pi via USB.

Thanks

Rob

After having no success with picoreplayer, and realizing moode has NAS support I just installed it.

I don't get anything but a slight buzz from the speakers though.
RPI3 with "pifi" Digi+ to a TDA1541A dac.

What settings should I use?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

In TR7 there is an I2S driver selection named HIFI Digi+ in the dropdown list on System config screen. The clone boards use the same driver as the Hifiberry Digi.

Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply.
That's the one I'm using...strange.
No sound, dead quiet, with nothing playing and only "static" when playing.

The TDA1541A dac works fine with a SB V3 (slimdevices).

Exactly the same result I got with picoreplayer.
Moode has the advantage of playing music of a Network source , I like not having to have the PC turned on just to listen to music.

Hi Rob,

When u say "re-catalogues" are u referring to the DLNA server?

Hi,

Very odd. Back in early March, the Hifiberry Digi driver would not work on Pi-3. It would only produce white noise or static similar to what u are describing.
https://www.hifiberry.com/2016/03/important-news-on-compatibility-with-the-raspberry-pi-3/

They fixed the driver and I assume it made it into 4.4.8 kernel used in Moode TR7.

That could very well be the problem then as I had it on both picoreplayer and moode.
I know the dac works as it should , it's my modded analog metric DAC that is being put into service while I build a dual Red Baron DAC.

The fix would be to disable BT, which is fine with me as I only use the Pi as a digital source.

Where would the file that needed to be edited be located? Can it be done via ssh?

Hi,

Are u using TR7?

You could try BT disable setting or update to 4.4.12 kernel, both done via ssh.

BT DISABLE
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

UPDATE KERNEL
sudo rpi-update
sudo reboot
sudo rm -rf /boot.bak
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules.bak
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/4.4.8+
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/4.4.8-v7+

Tim, I have no time this weekend to test extensively but I at least brought TR7 up in AP Mode on both my RPi2B with USB audio out and my RPi3B with HiFiBerry Dac+, configured them without incident, and started playing radio stations immediately as WiFi clients.

Thanks.

Regards,
Kent

Hi kent,

Thanks! I can cross off issue with bad config file causing AP mode fail on pi-2b.

Well, today being a different day, yes I am now seeing issues trying the changed worker.php,.. moode.local won't resolve, library empty, all sorts of weirdness. I'll keep poking at it and see if I can nail anything down. No apparent clues in /var/log

Hi,

Interesting. I had some issues trying to get Ashuffle and Auto-play to work together but don't recall exactly what was going on. I'll revisit for Moode 2.7.

Here is a link that was sent to me by IvanB for code that adds similar tracks to MPD Playlist.

As an aside, my editor was choking on 4 non-ascii characters so I commented them out, seemingly to no effect. Caveat: I'm no php expert and my experience comes from several years ago therefore is likely very outdated.

Code: 
//MYEDIT
//sysCmd('ln -s /mnt/NAS /var/lib/mpd/music/NAS^@^@^@');
//sysCmd('ln -s /mnt/SDCARD /var/lib/mpd/music/SDCARD^@');
sysCmd('ln -s /mnt/NAS /var/lib/mpd/music/NAS');
sysCmd('ln -s /mnt/SDCARD /var/lib/mpd/music/SDCARD');
