Most often it’s a network issue.
Wifi or Ethernet? Confirmed you only have the Pi at that address?
DHCP or fixed address? Got router settings, dns setting correct?
Thanx Phil!
The new 320K URL works;-) JB Radio 2 is reborn🙂
Unfortunately the flac stream couldn't be implemented in MoOde for some reason. But maybe Tim wants to put that on his to do list. With Archphile it's working- so it should be possible.
Greetingz, Robert
The FLAC stream is playing via Moode as I type this., using the url I posted earlier.
No track info displayed, alas.

Hi,
The symptom "Sometimes it shows up..." suggests a network issue. To troubleshoot try the following:
1) Verify shairport-sync is actually running
pgrep -l shairport-sync
2) Verify that only a single adapter and ip address are operational
ip addr show eth0
ip addr show wlan0

Sorry if these are rather basic questions but I'm really computer illiterate:-
1. Can Moode support direct CD playback via USB Drive - any drive limitations?
2. How do I add a custom WiFi driver to the system (I'm using CM3 module so using an external USB WiFi solution).
3. Is the HDMI output enabled and does this have any significant impact on operational speed - with HDMI "mode" can a USB keyboard / mouse be used as the user interface?
4. Can files be played from the Local memory?

Sorry, Phil!
Didn't pay enough attention. JB Radio 2 FLAC also works🙂
Track information, if really needed, could be drawn by switching to mp3-version;-). So I placed them both together;-)

Hi,
1. moOde does not support playback from USB CD drive.
2. you need to have good Linux skills to add drivers, etc
3. HDMI port is enabled but moOde is a headless music server thats designed to be accessed from another computer via a web Browser. There is no built in support for displaying moOde UI on a locally attached display however it can be done. User @morias posted a recipe in this thread for the 7" Pi Touch Display.

Hi Robert,
Are these the two new URL's ?

Hi Tim,
OK thank you for your swift reply - shame about the lack of CD playback via CDROM drive.
I added a question after I posted - can Moode support playback form local Memory?
Hi,
I assume you are referring to what's sometimes called "RAM Play" where the entire song is copied to RAM before play back begins.
Whats the benefit of this approach?
-Tim
Hi Tim,
No, non of that nonsense, I was asking if you can store tracks on the RPi internal memory and play directly without the need for an external storage device.
With the CM3 we can use larger eMMC memory...

Hi @JohnW,
Sure, tracks can be stored on the SD Card. The included Stereo Test track is on the SD Card.
The disadvantage to storing music on SD Card is that anytime a moOde release is whole-image only, the entire SD Card gets overwritten. Its generally preferable to use a USB stick.

A couple of stations to add
Amys FM - 320kbps stream http://94.23.222.12:8024/amysfm
Amys FM Spirit of Soul - 320kbps stream http://91.121.59.45:10073/amysfmspiritofsoul
Cheers,

With old DOS its possible to format a drive with 2 logical partitions and then have separate drive volumes - is it possible then with Linux to have moOde on one partition and the local Music files on the second memory partition?
I guess its far more complex then this, but maybe due to my complete nativity worth asking.
The advantage of eMMC over any USB connected device is not sharing the Pi's limited USB BW - and eMMC is much faster then the Pi's SDCard interface.

Hi @JohnW,
The Compute Modules are not part of moOde testing so I don't even know if it works on them. CM3 on-board flash is only 4GB anyway which would leave about 2GB for song files after taking into account 2GB for moOde. Not much space...
SD Card speed and USB bandwidth are non-issues. Both can easily support locally stored song files.

Tim,
The advantage of CM3 is that you can have much larger eMMC memory (I've boards with 16GB, and we will try 64GB) - I can try moOde but without WiFi...

Tim,
Why isn't there built in support? It seems like this request comes up fairly often and would be a nice feature in certain situations.

Hi,
CM is primarily an integrator platform and since moOde proprietary parts are not Licensed for redistribution or commercial use I don't really understand your existing or planned usage scenario. http://moodeaudio.org/docs/LICENSE.html
