just installed moode v4, took only 35 min, all smooth THANK YOU SO MUCH TIM & TEAM.
checking sound now, looks like volume is quite lower than v3
Hi,
Can you provide some context for "... looks like volume is quite lower than v3" ??
Post contents of /var/log/moode.log or alternatively post the output from System info screen.

I don't think it needs to be at the list level, it could be displayed under the artwork when you select a particular album. This feature is not worth impacting the performance.
That approach would involve only analyzing the first file in the Album and so no performance hit, but some music collections have files in an album directory that are of different sample rates :-0
-Tim
@Tim, can we noobs ask you to update the OP with step-by-step instructions so we know how to go about installing MoOde? For example, I flashed the Raspbian Lite image, logged in, issued the commands. Now what?
Thanks!
This is what I did.
1.On my PC. Downloaded & flashed (Etcher) the latest version of Raspian lite to a newly formatted (SDformat) card. Used Windoze Explorer to load empty file ssh into /boot.
2. Loaded said card into RPi3 with 7” Touchscreen and booted to command prompt. Note: using wired LAN.
3. Started Putty on PC, logged on to RPi at 192.168.0.70 (Note: your IPaddress might be different), user “pi”; p/w “raspberry”. Followed instructions on MoodeAudio “support” page (via Putty) to download mosbuild.sh to Pi and set it running. Answered questions as appropriate, and manually power cycled the RPi, one time when instructed.
4. Played Tamriel Online for two hours (or you could watch a Harry Potter movie, or even go shopping). Having a Touchscreen is not necessary, but useful that you can see that “something is actually happening”. However I did not see an “END” message.....but hey, I still had a few Daedra to eliminate on the current Quest, so what the heck 🙂.
5. Powered off RPi, removed SD card, saved the image onto my PC (for future use) and inserted SD into my “office streamer” RPi-zero W (wired LAN). Booted & configured IP address, HAT (Justboom Digi in this case), MPD path to the NAS, etc. (including a couple of reboots as and when instructed)
6. Final reboot, fired up the rest of the Naim system, and.....
Nirvana

Hi,
I did quick check of my own collection and I'm not able to repro the track order issue. One way to troubleshoot is to navigate the MPD database to the Album and then examine the index order of the song files. You can also zip up one of the Albums and email me a download link. I'll see if I can repro.
telnet localhost 6600
lsinfo "path to the Album"
The other issue where a song file w/o embedded art is displaying art from another file in the same dir might be a regression. I'll check on that.

As order, it sort the list (alphabetic) by ARTIS and then by SONG.
Observation:
- all albums with different Genre has this issue (as above), also the album is cataloged as Various Artists when you select the album (without artist), even if I have only one AlbumArtist.
- all albums with different Year are sorted in the same way but no track number is displayed. (ex: compilations)

Hi,
Zip up a few of your Album directories containing song files that (a) produce the wrong track order issue and (b) produce the wrong album art issue.
Email me a download link and I'll try and repro the issues.

I was able to get 4.0 up and running on my first attempt utilizing the script. What I have not been able to do is to get it to successfully connect to my FreeNas Server where all my music library resides. I am trying to connect via NFS utilizing the exact same settings and path that worked in 3.8 but still no joy. I also tried to connect via CIFS and the same thing. When I looked at the log it looks like it is inserting the word NAS to the mount path. Any suggestions?
So after spending a better part of a day attempting to get my FreeNas server to connect to my new Moode 4.0 build, I through in the towel and did a fresh build. What do you know, it connected the very first time. Thanks for all who gave suggestions. Everything is once again working as it should.🙂
Same here, I repeated the whole install. This time the build went smoothly from beginning to end, but I still get the same behaviour as Morias.
The system becomes unresponsive only after I enable localui. Localui starts shortly after the Pi boots, leaving me a short period where I can ssh into the pi and disable localui. If I do that, everything works ok again (except local display). When I enable localui again, the same happens again.
If I log to the Pi through ssh immediately after boot, I get these messages on the screen when the crash happens. After this point, the system becomes unresponsive: I cannot log in through ssh, and in the existing ssh session I can type commands, but then nothing happens, I don’t get any output. The Touchscreen does not react to taps.

This looks like a kernel panic, maybe the X server? Maybe chromium? Can we apt-get upgrade, to maybe get new versions, or will that break moode?
I've fixed it and have a working install. The solution to get it working was to pop the microsd card out after the first power down and edited mosbuild.properties so it didn't update the kernel as part of the build.
It is now rock solid. I think there is an issue in the latest kernel which conflicts with something which is turned on when the touchscreen is activated.
I assume it is not affecting everyone as people who installed earlier in the week got an older kernel.
Will top and ps work from a locally attached display...?
Otherwise it becomes even longer-winded to access....
Boot another device...open an ssh instance...etc etc....
What about a dedicated cpu/temp tab..?
It has a built-in terminal/ssh option, if you turned it on: config>system>local services> SSH term server
So you are, at most, three clicks away from a system interface.
No screen in WiFi
It appears that this thread is all there is for asking for help with Moode Audio Player. It seems odd for everything to be put in one giant thread, so if I am wrong don't hesitate to point in the right direction!
I just completed a build using mosbuild.sh on a Pi2. All went well. After it was up and running and I was listening to music through my IQAudio DAC+, I added the WiFi info and rebooted with the Eth0 unplugged. When I log in using "10.224.10.57" (the WiFi IP) the screen comes up with the top and bottom bars present, but the whole center is blank! If I reboot with Eth0 plugged in all is well - even if I access it through the WiFi IP instead of the Eth0 one. If I boot on WiFi and then plug in Eth0, I get the same blank screen at the Eth0 IP address. If I boot via Eth0 and then unplug it, all is well. I'm sure I'm not the first to have this happen. Can anyone please help?
FWIW I have had no luck connecting with "moode" or "moode.local/", but typing in the IP works fine - both on my Linux computer and my Android phone - same results with either.

Thanks Bryce!... That's probably it... I will try today with the latest script.
That fixed it. 🙂 Your latest LCD script and a little reconfiguring for 2x16 VFD.... (turned off the backlight and truncated the boot splash screen, pause, and stop notifications)
It has a built-in terminal/ssh option, if you turned it on: config>system>local services> SSH term server
So you are, at most, three clicks away from a system interface.
On a PiB ? even more of a hit on system resources, lol.
Nope, I don't want french-fried salad dressing... just a simple temp cpu % and perspex lid....😉

Issue Report
HI Tim
Just played with moode 4.0 a little bit tonight. Thank you for your work! The UI changed a lot,looks better. However , I experienced some issue while using the web interface on Samsung Galaxy S8:
1. The progress bar is not working, in portrait mode dragging or tapping has no effect; in landscape mode the tapping or dragging response is wrong.
2. The text size of the portrait mode is larger than landscape mode, this make sense, because you want to show more lines in landscape, but when display system info, everything got wrapped into 2 lines, makes it quite hard to read.
Don't know if it is just my phone , but I do need a solution for this, please help. Thank you

I would have said "No way!" Until I ran into that today. That was a first for me. 44.1-24 and 48-24 on the same album.

Am I missing something here the System Info option in the Web Gui gives you this info.
You have to go into system Config for it to be visible though.

You can get the CPU load and temperature there but it is a lot harder to access.
I would really like the CPU load and temperature readings to come back to the bottom of the audio info page where it used to be in prior versions of Moode.
Mobile UI
When loading the ui on Android in portrait mode, the library doesn't work the same in all browsers.
In Google Chrome it's very messy and I can't even tap on anything - see first screenshot. It looks almost the same in Samsung Internet browser.
But it looks very good in Firefox and I can even click on any item and start playing music - see second screenshot.

Hi. Not having its own forum is really a problem for moode audio. But the developper (Tim) once said he does not have time to manage a dedicated forum in addition to coding for the software. I don't know what exactly is wrong in your case. I don't have the same problem. But it seems that sometime people end up with a broken image that misses some modules. I would suggest that you build another image and see if you still have the same problem.
Remy
OK, I configured the DAC+ and it now sounds pretty well. Same sound as v3 when also configured. The difference between v3-v4 was very audible when none were attached a DAC nor configured at all. v3 was much louder, v4 was dimmer. So I guess there's nothing to be worried about. Thank you againHi,
Can you provide some context for "... looks like volume is quite lower than v3" ??

Not sure what you were expecting from a DIY audio player made with open source components, for free. See above.

Not sure what your problem is and you haven’t given enough info to resolve your problem, if it is a problem. What does the log say? Have you flushed your browser cache? What browser? What OS?
FWIW I have had no luck connecting with "moode" or "moode.local/", but typing in the IP works fine - both on my Linux computer and my Android phone - same results with either.
Have you installed a Bonjour/mDNS resolver in Linux? Android doesn’t do mDNS, so you won’t ever get it to understand what .local means.
