Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

Hello TC,
I downloaded and setup and used the Moode 1.9.
It is really excellent.
Thank you very much.
I am using an old iPhone 3 to control but the iPhone 3 has a limited viewing area on the screen. I would like to seek your kind advice whether it is possible to move the "TURN OFF" facility to be slightly higher up on the screen.
I would also like to seek your advice whether the patch for the cirrus audio card is available for the version 1.9 for the raspberry pi 1.
Thank you once again.

Hi, thanks for the compliment!

Minimum form factor for UI design is iPhone/iPod 5 type device, but I recognize the menu has gotten pretty long so maybe in one of the 2.x releases I'll look into making a cascade menu for the configs (Sources, MPD, Network and System) since typically they are used for setting things up initially then not used very frequently after that. Then the menu will fit on an iPhone 3.

The cirrus card is the new Wolfson card right? If the cirrus guys were able to get their drivers into 3.18.11 or .14 kernels then it should work.

Regards,
Tim

@ Zootalaws. how do you feel about multi-room
if you want to try this then currently 'Sound at Home" for volumio works with Moode...;)

Would love to see Tims version of this too...(no pressure..:))

Hi,

For the Hifimediy DAC, what I2S driver did you select in System config ?

I think if MPD had the plumbing for party-mode audio distribution built-in it could be coded into a nice feature. My thought is that MPD would duplicate its local playback stream into one or more RTP/UDP unicast streams where each stream is addressed to a particular receiver client.

Receiver clients would listen for a directed stream and immediately begin playback upon receiving it, then return to a listening state when the stream ends.

If u are familiar with VLC, this type of multi-unicast, synchronized audio distribution can be configured and tested.

Maybe something like this for MPD...

SENDER

audio_output {
type “rtp-unicast"
name "My Audio Broadcast"
encoder “vorbis”
bitrate “128"
format "44100:16:2"
port "9000"
config "/etc/mpd-rtp.conf"
}

/etc/mpd-rtp.conf
receiver1: "host1"
receiver2: "host2"
.
.
receiverN: "hostN"

RECEIVER

audio_input {
type "rtp-unicast"
port "9000"
}

Hi Tim,

Looks nice, can't wait to test the new version, thanks for the good work.

have you ever tought about adding a cd ripping funktion to your Mood Audio Player?

cheers

Also, please tell us:

1. If release 2.0 will play YouTube streams
2. Due date for release 2.0. :)

Hi,

@rat666
I don't have the expertise to code a cd ripper. That would have to come from another project.

@StryGR
(1) My current thinking is that the Airplay receiver or UPnP renderer in Moode can be used to play any streaming service. The benefit to this approach is that the native streaming service can be used with all its nice features.

(2) Release 2.0 should be out sometime before the end of June :)

CDparanoia is a command line ripper and is afaik also used by Vortexbox.
Morituri is a command line ripper with flac converter, tagging and accurate rip funktion.

cheers

abcde is also a cd ripper with replay gain, taggin and some other good funktions.

Hi,

Hi Tim,

noobie here who needs your support. ;-)

I have a Pi2 powered by the 5V USB out of a Geek LPS which also powers my Geek Pulse Xfi.

I followed step 1 and 2 from the read me document (is that ok that i can´t see/choose anywhere my Dac?) but I can´t hear anything if I follow the step where i need to verify the audio playback and click on a radio station.

In addition to that I also have a problem to mount my NAS (Syno DS 213). I entered the IP and the path ( in my case /volume1/Music) but it seems to me that the folder(s) won´t be scanned (at least I don´t see anything if I go to "Browse => NAS => Flac").

Any tip from you what I should do?

btw...I have different formats on my NAS: mp3, flac (from 16-44,1 to 24-352), dsf, sacd-iso.
If I´m not mistaken all should be played but the sacd.iso, right?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers from Germany,

Markus

Great product! I am a newb of the first order but was still able to get Moode v1.9 working with only a few headaches.
First off, I am using the Schitt Modi 2 and it works great with Moode, so might want to add that to the list.
Second, I finally got the NAS to mount when I changed NFSVERS to 4 from 3 in the setup dialogue.
Third, the Czech radio station works fine, but all the others are just white noise, LOUD white noise with no volume control.
Lastly, I cannot quite figure out how to get album art to display. I am using a directory on my NAS which contains my music in an iTunes folder.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
