Moode Player Help

[rodthebod]

Hi Guys

I updated to Moode 3.6 yesterday, and as Tim suggested, I did this within the player under System then check for update, it took less than 10mins, more like 5 and I was back in business exactly where I was prior to updating. Much appreciated.

Having used the player for a few days solid now I was wondering if it were possible to have a button in the 'Albums' column to add the complete album to the playlist, at the moment I have to pick each track individually, or I am I missing something? This option could be incorporated in the existing drop down button in the tracks column to select 'add complete album'? Another thing which is a slight niggle, if I add a track to the playlist I go to the 'Player' section and the playlist is always at the top instead of being where the track being played is or more importantly at the end of the list where I've added the track. On a long playlist this means swiping like made to get to the track being played. A second refresh button in the main panel would be good too as I find I have to do this a fair bit especially when my iPad has gone to sleep and I want to get to know the next track to come up, having it on the main panel would just save picking the drop down list then 'refresh'. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

Keep up the great work

You can add album via the browse once you get to album then the box with 3 lines has a sub section with add or clear, add and play which adds whole album

Hi struth

I realise that the browse allows the albums to be added, this is the way I do it at present, but it would be good to use the library to allow albums to be chosen as a whole, it was just a thought. The library has all the search functionality built in and is more convenient seeing everything in categories/genres etc. or by artist. My browse section that goes to the connected drives (USB/NAS) seems to show my albums in non alphabetical order.

Ok, sorry... i have a connected drive and mine are alphabetical by artist. I dont use library as its a bit slow.

Hi struth

That's interesting about the artist order, I'll try to rescan the drive as it's one folder with all the albums. I notice you're using battery psu with your Pi. I've been getting really great results with a larger battery on the Pi (12v car!) and a smaller 7.4v Li-Po on the Justboom Digi HAT spdif board. Both using buck convertors to step down the DC to 5v and 3.3v respectively. Had to bend some pins on the Pi3 GPIO header to 'isolate' the power to the Digi HAT, once done and powered by battery the difference in sound is remarkable.

There is a use artist setting in customise. Dunno if its that. Not tried a nas as such although others do and dont recall them saying it was not in order.
Yes i use a small powerpack. Its quite clean, a bit like my anker i use for the chromecast. It fits nicely in the slot and is easy for me to charge. I found 2 old batteries in shed i am slowly trying to condition. One is a disability scooter one. Would need as you say a stepdown.. you got a link on the one your using?

I am away from home at the moment, but I am sure you can add a album from the library screen by using the cover art icon, just select the option you want when your touch/click the album art icon.

Hi Grant

Here's the one I prefer using as it has a really nice LED display to reassure you the Pi3 gets the correct voltage, as the battery drops voltage over time the buck convertor will keep the voltage steady as a rock. It's easy to adjust with on board micro switches and can cope with up to 32v DC in. (£7)
DROK® Voltage Regulator Voltmeter Buck Converter LM2596 DC 5/12V Adjustable Voltage Regulator Stabilizer Experimental Power 5-35V to 0-33V Red LED Di

The other type I have used is a simpler version, same regulator but it has a small screw adjustment, no display, so needs a voltmeter to set it up to the voltage you need. (Pack of 6 £10)

Both from Amazon UK.

Hope this helps
