Moode site down (Raspberry Pi)

[Ulysses]

I tried to connect to the moode site: http://moode for Raspberry Pi streaming, but it appears to transfer to another domain. Is anyone else having this problem?

I wonder if the website has expired and someone else has bought it.

You will if you use that URL.

Have you ever used it before?

Beware of your assumptions and conclusions

what you wanted and need is http://tcmods.org/

For software downloads and info go to : http://tcmods.org

As described at http://tcmods.org/docs/tcmods-readme.txt, you can use http://moode -or- http://moode.local in your browser to connect to an RPI running the moode audio player software.

Yes, I was using this two days ago and all worked fine.

I've tried both url addresses but no luck. Each time I tried those urls it routed me to here: http://www.moode.com/


Just tried switching off and rebooting and now works - bizarre:scratch:


Cheers

When you say "it works" what are you looking at in your bowser now? I am curious.

http://moode just takes me to a not found. http://moode.local shows my intranet rPi player. And http://dcmods.org to the site for Moodeplayer (download etc)

Puzzling

Currently listening to music via: http://moode/

But previously the same url was being redirected to http://www.moode.com/ which shows an advertising webpage (the type you get when a website has expired).

So I tried: http://moode.local but that generated a page saying page 'not found'

I'm puzzled too

So you are listening to your local Raspberry Pi with Moode already installed

Forgive my confusion

It's not a puzzle if you consider that there's a web-server running on your RPi which is required to display the various pages of the moode user interface. If your RPi looses its network connection and/or that internal web-server stops, then typing "htt://moode.local" in any web browser will simply return page not found. If you cannot connect to RPi, the fact that you are diverted to somewhere else when you typed in "http://moode" is simply a function of your web browser's search engine.

Using "http://moode.local" is a convenient way of referring to the ip address of your RPi. It's a mechanism provided by software called "avahi", which is also running on your RPi. Otherwise you'd have to know, remember and use something like "http:/192.168.1.50:80", for example. And, unless you take step to give the RPi a fixed IP address, that number could change everytime you restarted your RPI.

Restarting your RPi, restored the network connection and restarted it's internal web server. So all works as it should.

Thanks Chris for the technical breakdown. Glad someone on here is tech savvy.
