Moode Player Help

[TimCurtis]

Just realised what you meant Tim.
The library is there, but zero tracks.
I can access the library through other software like Plug Player or one of Linn's UPNP controllers Songbook Lite- where the full library is shown.

Hi Steve,

The way the Library loader was originally designed lends itself to issues with some large collections. I've improved it quite a bit but had to stay within the limits of the original design. You may have to use the Browse panel to select music, or an external app like MPoD...

Andreas, the fellow who is working on Moode 3 project has redesigned the Library loader so it will work nicely with large collections but Moode 3 project will probably take a year to complete since it involves a ground-up rewrite and debug of the entire code base :-)

Regards,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I'm have running Moode 2.4 since it's release with no problems (great stuff - thank you!!)

Until ... I upgraded my Mac Mini 2010 to El Capitan last week. Since then I have been unable to play via Airplay from my iPhone 5C and if I attempt to upload via my Mac desktop finder the Pi crashes requiring a hard boot to restore communication. Is this a know issue with El Capitan or am I alone?
cheers,
Mike

Oh hang on...
Fired up MPoD player on the phone.. Hit/ ticked ' outputs' in settings, and it's all working again.
Lordy. Time for a drink.

Hi Steve,

Very odd.

Whenever the UI starts behaving really strangely, hangs, no audio, etc. one of the following is suspect:

- bad or corrupt SD Card
- failing power supply
- network issue

I would suggest trying a new SD card.

Tim

Hi Tim
Many thanks for your involvement.
The library was just 'lost'. Wish I'd taken a screen shot, as actually I think it showed one track.
I reformatted a card this morning and loaded your new 'test' version.
Started having problems again.
I am also wondering if MPoD interferes with the Moode player settings?
Anyway.. Just tried revising the settings to this


Now my library has started to update ( over 29,000 tracks)
Now stuck at just over 8000, as here..

Hi Tim
Understood.
Great tip though, of using Browse to access the library. It's all there, and by using the drop down menu it's easy enough to get what you want onto the playlist.
Well done.
Thank you.

When my son was working in Greece he used to hear a saying - 'You make plans, and God laughs'
Just checked my library and thought of this

Hi,

Glad to see that it's working :-)

I see that you are using IOS. The appearance of Moode can be improved by adding it as a "Home Screen" app. When this is done, the Browser frame is removed and it will look a native app :-)

Press the "rectangle-with-arrow-sticking-out-the-top" icon on the footer bar, then press "Add to Home Screen". You will find the Moode app on one of your Home Screen pages.

Regards,
Tim

Excellent Tim
Many thanks

Still.. Not a major problem as MPoD app on the iPhone has retained the whole library.
