Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

#11,361
Hi Tim,

Many thanks for your efforts with this

Beta 10 up and running, a clean install from an earlier Beta 8. As with two others I haven't found a way of getting the cover art to display. Does it now need to be a certain size, or is it linked to Chrome fore use with a monitor or display?

The build went smoothly enough, although gmusicapi seemed to hang for a long time at the final bit.

Basically everything is switched to off, as trying to keep it simple at the moment with Allo digione providing spdif output to dac, the audio is fine, just the images haven't caught up yet.

Hi,

moOde 4.0 BETA 10 is available 🙂 This Beta contains two new features listed below. The Local UI feature requires installing Component 8 from Build Recipe 2.0.

- Local UI display
- Discover/Connect to other moOde Players

There is also an in-place update for Beta 6/7/8/9 -> Beta 10.

It MUST be run from cmd line AND on an un-squashed /var/www !! The browser title will revert to "moOde Player" after the update. Use System config to change it, then APPLY MPD settings to get the new DoP param.

sudo /var/www/command/updater.sh r40b10

Also, BE SURE to backup /var/www and /var/local/www directories before applying the update in case you need to revert!

I am a little confused on the upgrade process. I am currently using beta 9. Can I select "Check for Upgrade" to move to beta 10 or????

Thanks,
Gary

Hope I don't get burned to a crisp for asking, but as a totally incompetent Linux user is there ever likely to be another Moode image for Linux numpties like me? 😉

If not can anyone tell me if there are any other players out there with a specific driver for the 1794a chip?

@Alabama978

Looking on from the sidelines, here's what I see as the two likely scenarios for moOde 4.0.

1) We get an automated script, rooted in Koda59's reworking of Tim's recipe and enhanced by Tim, which, like the current recipe, starts with downloading a virgin Raspbian Stretch Lite image and ends with a bootable moOde Player. This process will take some time as various packages are downloaded, processed, and reboots occur, but unlike the current process there will be little manual input required and (I hope!) more error checking done.

2) We get a customized version of DietPi's existing configuration script which, when copied to a virgin DietPi Stretch image before first boot, accomplishes essentially the same as above, ending with a bootable DietPi/moOde Player. Since DietPi Stretch is even more cut down than Raspbian Stretch Lite, this process will likely take even longer because more packages have to be downloaded/installed and various reboots occur. Again, unlike the current process, there will be little manual input required.

Neither scenario requires as much expertise and patience on the part of the user as our current circumstance does, but neither scenario is as lickety-split quick as downloading an image and booting into moOde.

Regards,
Kent

PS - burned to a crisp? Nah. 😀

Running Raspberry Pi 3 with an IQAudio Pi-DAC PRO, I have successfully catalogued and am efficiently accessing a library of over 136,000 files. I am using a 2TB Western EasyStore USB 3 drive plugged directly into the USB port on the Raspberry for its power.

I literally registered for this forum looking for confirmation of these two items. Many thanks to you, good sir.

Hi Kent,

I have the front part of @koda59's wonderful work nicely adapted and streamlined 🙂 Should have the back half finished later this week. It really is a HUGE time saver and it eliminates the chance of missing a step!

I could also include pre-compiled binaries for MPD and other components which would cut the build time by half.

You might want to check out a USB SDCard drive. Its very convenient.

Just a quick comment on using @Koda59's existing script.

First I tried the script with one of those Transcend multi-card readers. Although the correct SDCard was identified it would not write the image to it no matter what I tried.

Using one of those USB MicroSD card readers like the one Zootalaws posted above the process worked flawlessly.

Thanks for Beta 10 Tim. I did a quick update on my working version this morning. No time to play further though.

Sometimes (especially if the card has been used on another o/s) it defaults to sdd and not sdb in the linux mount table...
I have a Belkin card reader that is seen as sdd for anything plugged into it...
Took me an age of debugging to find that out...right under my nose all the time...if only I had read the mount point instead of blindly trying to write to sdb over and again ...😱

Any usb to micro-sd adapter seems to work fine for me here...;-)


@Zoo-T outlaws
I’ve got about a dozen of these, you get them with every SanDisk SD card in Asia.

LOL. Yes it’s raining. We have two rainy seasons here, separated by four weeks of unbearably hot weather 🙂

You’re lucky - normally whenever I leave there’s a huge earthquake.

Does MoOde 3.8.4 resample withount setting

Good morning,

I am running MoOde 3.8.4 on a RPi3b. Sox resampling is deactivated. I feed the system by a NAS running Minimserver. Minimserver allows to resample the stream. One of my DACs is a TDA1541 (AYA DAC), which I currently connect via Audials USB2pcm bridge. The bridge has got 11.x and 12.x clocks. These should not allow the 1541 to play 384 kHz signals. Even the firmware of the brigde does not support 384kHz.

The strange thing for me is, it does play 384 kHz and I hear sound. My Hifi Cast Control App shows 384 kHz, so the stream should be sampled at this rate. As mentioned, no resampling is activated in moOde.


So I am buffled and would like to know what happens there. Does anything in ModOde does autoresample in case of a DAC does not support the given samplingfequency?

Any idea? Would be appreciated!

Best

Ernst

Hi, Tim.

Great news about the script.

[edit] Do you mean the MPD package from the Raspbian repo? Does it implement the options you compile with? I was wondering about that while I was looking at DietPi.

USB3.0 would be great but all my "big iron" is aging in place and has only the slower USB2.0 ports. These days I work primarily from a laptop with an SD slot which shows up in Linux as /dev/mmcblk0. I have enough uSD-SD adapters to choke a horse. Read/write speeds are decent enough I haven't bothered to benchmark.

Regards,
Kent

PS - I believe changes to DietPi Stretch being implemented by @FourDee will solve the WiFi problem. You'll recognize it when you see it. Turns out my hack was managing the symptom rather than the disease.
