Why not use the one available in github? It’s a tried-and-true method for software projects and all you need to do is turn it on.

Hi Mike,
There have been some recent proposals for setting up a dedicated moOde support forum and documentation wiki. I can do this with cPanel on moodeaudio.org but I would need someone(s) to admin them.
Github is not a forum or a wiki.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is that the same or different than the DLNA server option on the Configure Audio page?
Bryce.
It can work well if you appoint a few trusted guys/gals as forum admins. Then it can be a collective effort.
A wiki is wherever you put one 🙂 But I get what you’re saying.
I’m happy to admin a wiki for you - it’s not like I’m not on the net 18 hours a day and have time to spare...
Let me do a quick bit of research on those packages you posted earlier and I’ll post the pros and cons.
I have used phpBB which is good, not great (I really liked vBulletin -this forum runs from it-, but that has a cost and installation overhead). PhpBB has all you would ever need for a forum, albeit not the greatest look.
GitHub has a great Wiki!, and it works great for tracking issues (be them bug reports or development of features). Not really great for forum-like interaction.
I'd be happy with either solution, but still think a simple set of instructions in the webpage (just like the ones provided a few posts back for the B+) would overcome the need for any of the above solutions.
In any case, I'd be happy to help moderate and help in a dedicated forum. I wouldn't venture to admin it, too time consuming for the time being. I did it once and it was a lot of effort. That is why I am pushing for a simpler starting point and see what turns out from that.
Best regards,
Rafa.
Hi Tim
IMHO we should start with a wiki first because that's the most needed. I can volunteer to administer a wiki (together with other volunteers). I have never done it before. Need some one to tell me what it involves or to point me to some ressources that explains how to administer a wiki. I can learn fast.

I was doing the same thing. Take a look here: WikiMatrix - Compare them all
As far as I'm concerned, I think it's down to DokuWiki vs MediaWiki. MediaWiki is more complex, being the platform used by wikipedia. But DokuWiki looks more modern and a little bit simpler. I like the fact that you don't need a database, there are only text files. And also, I like the syntax more because it's close to MarkDown and is simpler than that of MediaWiki.
So, DokuWiki has my vote.

Worked for me as well, only reason I am chiming is because I am a total noob, and I managed to do this with a combo of cyberduck and google to fill in the blanks for the terminal part. I would post my method, but the guru's would probably vom a little in their mouths. Hey, at least I'm trying!
This post was in reference to the raspberry-sys-mods package and @Man in a van is on the right track. I checked the github repo. The new version of this package includes the code which checks for country code being set and disabling WiFi if it isn't. We don't need this functionality in the upgrade of moOde 4.0 because the country code is already set in the build process.
Thanks for the tip.

Hi, Bryce.
Interesting about the Windows 10 behavior. I have it on dual-boot with Linux on my laptop but out of old habits I never use it for programming activity, just for Win-only apps (yes, Linux lovers, I know how to use WINE and PlayOnLinux).
As for the hostname, be careful to note that .local is not a real domain in the meaning of the Internet Domain Name System. The details are complicated, see this zeroconf explanation Zero-configuration networking - Wikipedia or this article by Apple Domain Naming Conventions
I'm being pedantic because how some device on your LAN finds your moOde player depends on such factors as the protocols running on that device (dns, dns-sd or bonjour, etc) and any services (dhcp, dns) running on, say, your router and how they are configured. Using the .local convention may or may not work. For example, my Android devices cannot locate any hosts by the .local convention. They support dns-sd but don't hook it into their web browser. (I'm teaching myself Android programming so I can try to create a Moode-Finder app. Keeps me out of bars!)
To address your specific question, yes the zeroconf hostname will be raspberrypi.local at Step 5 but it will change to moode.local when the hostname changes from raspberrypi to moode.
Regards,
Kent

That light pattern means your system didn't upgrade. Still haven't figured out why some get this result.

Right you are Kent, and I didn't realize I had make that mistake until after it was too late to edit. I was just thinking about what you need to type at that point.
Cheers, Bryce.
On the matter of wikis and forums and github, oh my
Gentle persons:
I think I weighed in on this subject a year ago or more, but here's the short version based on my experience running various of this services for other projects in the past.
I agree with others that moodeaudio.org itself should receive minor modifications on the basics of getting and building moOde. Indeed, I PM'ed some thoughts to Tim a while ago. His highest priority is to get 4.1 out the door ASAP so we haven't gone any farther with them yet.
My personal preference would be to keep this forum alive for ephemeral discussions and to create Github Pages for more permanent HowTos. As has been pointed out, moOde already has a GitHub presence and adding Github Pages is pretty straightforward. I particularly like that the GitHub Issue, Pull Request, and Merge mechanisms are baked in. They make it easier to keep things tidy and current. As in all things GitHub, more than one person can be assigned privileges in the repository.
Candidly, I don't care for Wikis. My experience with them on other projects is that no matter how organized they are at the start, they become byzantine over time as people add, modify, and delete material.
Just my 2-cents worth. I will do my part to contribute no matter what the technology choices turn out to be.

Kent

Tidal track search
I am getting the same issue as I did with the Tidal playlists when I am searching for tracks or artists using both Linn Kazoo and Lumin. It appears to find the track but then gives me the login or communication failure error. I have no idea where to start finding the issue. Probably also a upmpdcli issue? Any ideas please? Rpi 2B, Allo Piano + Kali, Moode 4.0

Ah, just tried and I see that as well, Linn Kazoo. Only when I search and click on "Tracks" and "Albums", but not on "Artist" it's fine.
