    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

    Default Frustration Based Audio - My Setup Procedure

    I have just spent about 6 hours over 2 days trying to get Moode running again, after a random "nothing happens" failure.

    I have now renamed FBA Frustration Based Audio!

    Anyway, I have wiped most of the foam from around my mouth and my blood pressure is back below 300. In order to save some other poor sod (and myself, next time) a heart attack, here is my setup procedure - modified from Tim's readme.

    It is specific to my particular setup of IQDAC+, USB hard drive and USB dongle for remote control. Hopefully it's of some help for others:

    Moode Audio Payer SD Card Setup

    Use Moode 2.3 image (not Zip file, this needs to be unzipped using 7-zip):
    C:\Users\dave\Downloads\moode-sdimg-r23\moode-sdimg-r23

    Use Winddiskimager to write
    IMG file to SD card.

    Then…..

    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

    Hi Dave,

    Good to here its working and that your vital signs are returning to normal :-)

    What is the USB remote control dongle that u are using? Sounds interesting.

    I'm making a new Volume Control guide as a PDF that can be viewed/downloaded from moodeaudio.org that reflects a change I've made to the code so the ALSA volume (%) field on System config will show the actual volume %. Currently it is showing the value from the ALSAMIXER slider scale which is not a % but a "mapped or hybrid value" according to ALSA guy.

    I'll tune up the setup guide a bit too.

    Regards,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,

    If it is any use I can email you my personalised setup guide - which has my additions in blue, but is actually legible, unlike the pasted in version above. It is written from the point of view of somebody who is not particularly computer literate.

    Sorry if I mislead you, the Wifi dongle is a standard one. I meant that I use it so that I can control the Pi from a browser (with no ethernet connection), not that it enables an actual remote control handset as such. This is the one:
    http://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/...ongle-nano-usb

    Is there an easy way to duplicate my micro SD card, in case I have another problem?

    Could I also clarify that I am doing the power down procedure correctly:
    System Menu -> Turn-off -> Power-off
    Wait until the green light has stopped flashing (in my case about 10 seconds after the USB drive has spun down) then turn off the 5V PI/DAC supply.

    The reason for asking is that I cannot see any other way to power up, other than turning on the 5V supply, when following step 3:
    3. CONFIGURE FOR WIFI CONNECTION
    a) power off (from Menu/Turn off)
    b) insert wifi dongle
    c) power up (leave eth cable connected!)

    Also, since going from V2.1 to V2.3 my bootup time has gone from 90 seconds to 'ages'. I never managed to work out how to do step 4:
    4. DISABLE ETH0 INTERFACE FOR FASTER BOOT
    - WARNING: this is for an already operational WIFI setup!
    a) /var/www/tcmods/r23/cmds/utility.sh edit-eth0
    b) # out the eth0 lines
    c) reboot

    I have no idea where to look to do 4a.

    Sorry for more questions!!

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    Here are answers to your questions :-)

    (1) I can email you my personalised setup guide

    Yes, please email me the document. I am looking for input on how to improve the admittedly sparse setup guide.

    (2) Is there an easy way to duplicate my micro SD card

    Not that I am aware of. I just copy the image to the card.

    (3) Could I also clarify that I am doing the power down procedure correctly:

    The procedure is correct. The Raspberry Pi LED will flash 10 times during shutdown. Then disconnect power.

    (4)bootup time has gone from 90 seconds to 'ages'

    This is odd. My Pi's boot up < 1min, usually 30 secs even without the fast boot patch.

    Here is how to do 4a. It must be done from a terminal session to Moode. Use the PuTTY app if you are on Windows, otherwise for Mac or Linux just open a terminal and ssh in.

    Linux/Mac
    ssh root@moode (pwd = moode)

    Windows
    PuTTY, host name = moode, connection type = ssh, then press OPEN button, a terminal window will open and password prompt will appear (pwd = moode)

    Once the Moode command prompt appears in the terminal window, enter the command string in step (1) below. If you are using Moode 2.4 test release then replace r23 with r24

    (1) /var/www/tcmods/r23/cmds/utility.sh edit-eth0

    This opens the network interface config file in the nano editor

    ==================
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wireless-power off
    wpa-ssid <YOUR-SSID-NAME>
    wpa-psk <YOUR-WIFI-PASSWORD>

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    ==================

    (2) Put comment char (#) in front of last two lines as follows:

    #auto eth0
    #iface eth0 inet dhcp

    (3) Save the file by entering the keystrokes below. <return> is the return or enter key

    Ctrl-x
    y
    <return>

    (4) reboot

    Regards,
    Tim
