Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

I think the problem is with this in Step 10:

sudo -i
echo "/var/local/moode.sqsh /var/www squashfs ro,defaults 0 0" >>/etc/fstab
logout

Should there be a space between >> and /etc/fstab? I think it is this modification of the fstab that causes the locking of the root account.

I also ran into all kinds of trouble on a Windows machine initially. That was when I was trying to type the recipe by hand. At one stage I also had a kernel panic (as did the RPi 😀 ). After doing the squash procedure I also had an unresponsive system that would not boot.

I followed recipe 1.9 by pasting and copying from Wordpad into Putty and everything worked perfectly. There is nothing wrong with the recipe. I fully explained the procedure I was following in an earlier thread.
 
I managed to get Tidal working with Upnp without any issues. My biggest issue with using Tidal has nothing to do with MoOde. I found both Lumin and Linn Kazoo to be slow to respond. Searching for artists or tracks seems to be an almost impossible mission. It is so slow as to be useless. There is no issue with the streaming though. I most probably need to figure out how the apps work.

Searching on the Tidal app is both quick and easy but there is a clear difference between streaming from the Tidal app over airplay and streaming from Tidal with Upnp.

I agree. Did it without issues. Thank you Tim.

As I mentioned here Tidal is working for me after chmod 644 on file /etc/upmpdcli.conf

However it works for me with Linn Kazoo but not on Lumin on the iPad (the Tidal button does not show up, while it shows up when I activate BubbleUPnP Server).
On the other hand, with BubbleUPnP Server I do not have the Radio button in Lumin, which shows up when using Moode UPNP server integration.

Re the speed, both Lumin and Kazoo are more than usable on my rpi2 and even more so with my rpi3 - while I do agree they are barely usable on my rpi 1B (which in fact I'm no longer using).
Which raspberry are you using?

By hand would take forever. Way too much code/commands and too much room for error.

I figured out the same thing as you in copying and pasting multiple commands at once. I just had to slow down and check after each step.

I will say that there should be,more warnings about certain errors an Puddy disconnecting at times. I know it does disconnect when resizing to Root. And certain functions looks like it is idle or stuck, but it is still doing stuff.

Now to create and backup my image so I don't have to compile again.
 
Hi, Tim.

Have a look at Linux Quick Start - The Chromium Projects

Hi Kent,

Lot of settings! But I can find either overlay-scrollbars or zoom (page zoom). It looks like these 2 settings might be stored in two separate files but I'm just guessing.

cat ./.config/chromium/Local\ State | grep overlay
{"enabled_labs_experiments":["overlay-scrollbars@1"]

cat ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences |grep zoom
"partition":{"default_zoom_level":{"3990065800":-1.5778829311823859},"per_host_zoom_levels":{"3990065800":{}}}

Sigh. It never gets any easier, does it?

Kinda busy at the moment but I'll take a closer look at chromium this afternoon.

I tried several times using MAC with Finder never was able to successfully build MoOde 4.9 using recipe 1.9. I am thinking of giving it a shot on Lennovo Laptop. I have not used PuTTY so I might as well give it a try. If I have any lick will let you know. Thanks

Nothing to PuTTY. Just an SSH client. You can use Terminal on your Mac. Just type: ssh pi@raspberry when th pi first boots up.

I will say, this build is not for beginners. So many steps.

I think you can do everything direct to the pi if you hook up keyboard and HDMI cable to a monitor once you have Stretch Lite working and installed.

I also don't know why an image can be distribute, other than a deterrent. One for Pi, A, B, Zero, and the other for the other pis. That's the only difference I saw. The optional steps can be done later.
