Sounds very similar to how Volumio shuts down so that's good.Quote:

Hi,
Here are some quick pics of an IQaudIO Pi-DigiAMP+ wired into MoodeCase. The 7/8" (21mm) space above the HAT allows the wiring harnesses to float unrestricted.

It's probably in here somewhere but I can't find it, but how do you disable the automute on alsamixer after reboot.
I switch off my HD-Plex PSU every night and having to reconfigure the alsamixer to 100 each morning is a pain.
Hi Mike,Quote:

Sorry Tim what I meant was that every time I switch the Pi back on the alsamixer settings in 'configure' are at 0 and I have to type in 100 and 'set' it to get 100 volume.Quote:

I'll check the mute button shortly and get back to you.
Here's what I see when I power up the Pi and enter the playback and then configure page ( using Hardware volume setting)

This package can take several minutes to complete due to components that are downloaded and installed from Jessie repo.
After reboot APPLY MPD config then toggle Crossfeed setting on System config to establish Crossfeed/MPD outputs. Verify by "mpc outputs" which should show ALSA default enabled and ALSA crossfeed disabled.
Remember to BACKUP Moode SD Card before updating.

Hi, here are a few pics of IQaudIO Pi-DigiAMP+ and DAC+ wired into Moode Cases :-)
-Tim
I want to connect to my car using the accesss point feature to drive my pi and hifiberry pro plus. The high fi berry doesn't have a headphone out so I tried a stereo to headphone cord in reverse (usually I use this cord to connect the headphone out in my phone to a stereo in on my amplifier). It doesn't work well at all with no stereo separation and intense buzzing.
Shouldn't this work in reverse? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Well problem solved - it was a ground loop. I put an isolator in and it went away.Quote:

READ CAREFULLY
Installing this update package followed by manually updating the kernel to 4.4.19 via the rpi-update command below will effectivly upgrade Moode 2.6 to Moode 2.7. If the updated kernel is not installed then NO SUPPORT will be provided!
sudo rpi-update 818a860cf690d64c62d3227ad9c36d5867a671c2
sudo reboot
sudo rm -rf /boot.bak
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules.bak
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/4.4.8+
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/4.4.8-v7+
The update package can take several minutes to complete due to components that are downloaded and installed from Jessie repo. After pressing INSTALL, if the message "Software update complete, Reboot required" appears immediately, just ignore it and wait several minutes. There is bug in Worker that prevents System config screen from auto-waiting before displaying the completion message. The bug is fixed in this update.
The update process can be monitored by ssh TOP to determine when its ok to reboot. Look for apt-get and mandb running. When they are both finished and no longer appear in list, its safe to reboot.
1) One of the updates installs HTML files that revert the knob colors to Emerald. Use Customize to set another color, then back to your favorite color, then refresh.
2) The wonderful Crossfeed DSP plugin is included in this update and there is a config change to enable Airplay over AP mode. IMPORTANT: To establish Crossfeed/MPD outputs and Airplay over AP mode its necessary to perform the steps below after reboot.
a) MPD config, APPLY
b) System config, set Crossfeed DSP to 725 Hz 4.5 dB then set it back to disabled.
c) The config can be verified by running the cmd below from ssh session
pi@moode:~ $ mpc outputs
Output 1 (ALSA default) is enabled
Output 2 (ALSA crossfeed) is disabled
pi@moode:~ $
d) Network config, APPLY
e) This will update the configuration for Airplay over AP mode
3) Several configuration changes are included that provide improved support for loading large collections into the Library panel.
4) New commercial-free, listener-supported radio stations and support for exciting new I2S audio devices are included in this update, and a new universal rotary encoder driver that updates Moode volume knob and supports both hardware and software volume.
Finally, it's always a good idea to BACKUP the SD Card before installing updates :-)
Enjoy!
Regards,
Tim

Just one point on new moode 2.7 Tim... Using ios ipad i have noticed that if i leve the browser page when moode is playing, say to read something and track changes, when i go back to moode the now playing info is a track behind. If i then say adj or touch vol it jumps back to last track showing. Doesnt do it with android.

I suppose part of the problem is the AP protocol that requires it to constant broadcast the availability SSID of the Pi to all potential tablets that wish to be a client. You can see this on my particular setup by a flashing LED that is flashing constantly in AP mode.
When the Pi's wi-fi dongle is configured to not be an AP, the LED comes only about once every 10 seconds.
Any chance you could consult with the AP code contributors to see if there is a way to quiet down that broadcasting activity once a connection is in place. I'm sure that bulk of people using this AP have only a single client (i.e. tablet) acting as a fancy remote control.
...just in case your team isn't too busy :)

Did some digging and found that the "hostapd" daemon
can have the "beacon interval" (beacon_int).
Here is a description from http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless
MAC80211 Device Options:
Name: beacon_int
Type: integer
Required: no
Default: 100 (hostapd default)
Description:
Set the beacon interval. This is the time interval between beacon frames, measured in units of 1.024 ms. hostapd permits this to be set between 15 and 65535. This option only has an effect on ap and adhoc wifi-ifaces.
The range for "beacon_int" is anywhere from 15 to 65,535 units of 1ms (i.e. 15 ms to 65 seconds): I think something like a ten second (beacon_int=10,000) beacon interval would work for me.
I think the default is currently set to about 100ms.
Should be something straightforward to sort in a couple of days...thanks for your help, earlier.
Ray
[Update:]
beacon_int=1000 was added to /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf and had the intended effect of decreasing the number of sent beacons to one every second.
When larger values (beacon_int=9000) were used, the intended effect of a beacon every 9 seconds, did not take. Instead it seems as if some sort of
internal limiting limits the sending of beacons to no more that once per second ???
Anyone out there familiar with "the other parameters" in the hostapd.conf file that might work around this limitation ?
Thanx in advance.

First, overall, the Moode menus seem to be more streamlined than those found on RuneAudio. I typically rip my music to USB Keys and prefer to play them that way for sound quality reasons. However, I cannot find a menu to unmount a mounted USB key. Is it safe to just pull the USB key out and plug in another USB key full of music ? These options existed in the other player.
Second, I was curious as to the removal of the Orion script/kernel tweak (aka as Orion or ACX latency settings). I really thought there was an audible difference between them and you did indicate that you prefererred one setting over the other. I thought the intent with the filters was to put them "out there" and to then narrow them down to the preferred setting. Was this done in a "formal" way so that it was decided to remove this choice. In the RuneAudio player, there were a choice of five settings.
P.S. Your earlier hint to alter AP settings in the hostapd.conf file was helpful. I really do prefer the "sound" with a longer "beacon interval" of one second versus 0.1 seconds.
Thanks for pursuing and sharing the evolution of this player,
Ray

The "kernel tweaks" were from the original OS that hosted the player. They along with some other things were removed during the 2.5 rewrite as part of an overall effort to simplify the code base. Moode 2.7 runs on a completely new OS (moodeOS) that is based on Raspbian Jessie-Lite. Stock kernel settings are used which, based on the absence of any user reports to the contrary, seem to be working well.

I'm currently playing (fighting) with a Vanaplayer using the Sparky (RPi Clone), do you think MoOde could be made to run on it, I've tried latest version but nothing shows up when I look for it via Fing WiFi search or via IP Address?

Hope you guys don't mind me asking a question that might have been answered before but I have just found this thread on what to me is a new software and have not yet read all the posts ;) Previously been using Volumio but would love to try this.
I have currently an RPI with I2s into a home built DDAC (from Diyaudi dot com forum). I have Ethernet into the RPI and an external USB drive as the music source. Is anyone using such a set up with Moode?
Thanks.
Well, I'm answering myself as I have made some progress ;)
I have Moode installed and working on the RPI. Have yet to hear any music as I'm trying to find the correct I2S driver for the DDDAC. Moode can read my NAS but not the USB drive plugged into the RPI, don't know why it can't read it as it did work using Volumio.
What is2 did you use with volumio? Or didnt you. Try hiberry and the plus version, and iq and plus versions. Then audiophonics ones. They are the main ones as far as i know. Not heard of that dac sorry. Usb sticks can be funny ive found. Some need to be formatted correctly.

1) System config: clear system logs
2) Sources: UPDATE MPD DB
3) ssh pi@moode (pwd=raspberry)
4) cat /var/log/mpd/mpd.log
5) Examine the log for errors, particularly permission errors
As far as the DDDAC goes, usually one of the two Generic I2S drivers in the dropdown list will work. Generic-1 loads the hifiberry-dac driver and Generic-2 loads the rpi-dac driver.
What I2S driver does the manufacturer specify for the device?
-Tim
Tim, Thanks for the reply. I'll get back in a few days after I find out how to use SSH ;)
The DDDAC is a DIY project on Diyaudio.com that is huge and has a massive thread, but I have not found anything that specifies an I2s driver for the DAC. I did get it working on Volumio some time ago using AFAIK the hifi-berry driver. I will try all combinations after following your advice ;)
Have succesfully connected the NAS box to Moode and configured the I2s driver which for the DAC chip (1794A) and it sounds really superb, thanks to Tim for a very nice interface, including some great Radio Stations ;)
The USB drive was actually a back up of some music from the NAS and is not recognised by Moode. I did access the log but could see no errors, just a nic elist fo the music being added to the Db. I'll reformat the drive and add some music and retry.
Just one question, how to add playlists? I canlt find a way to create a new one?

Click the \/ icon in the upper left of Playback screen an a "Save playlist" input field will appear at the bottom. Saved playlists appear in the Browse panel.
Wrt USB drive please post the following and I'll take a look.
1) ls -l /media
2) snippet of mpd log showing tracks being successfully added

Thanks for the info Tim,
I used the Generic RPI as I saw in the Audio info screen that it supports the 1794 chip (see attached) Could be imagination but I'll swear that driver has produced more detail than I have heard before using other software players.
I'll plug the USB back in tomorrow if I can and see what the log shows. The Tracks successfully added where from the NAS and not the USB.Attachment 18191
I'm a happy camper with much music to audition through this set up ;)
Hi,
I was able to include the Advance Audio Kernel in the upcoming Moode 2.7 update by implementing a Kernel select feature on System config :-) Screenshots attached.
There are two kernels, Standard and Advanced. The standard kernel is a mainline Raspbian kernel which in this case is 4.4.23. The advanced kernel is based on 4.4.23 and custom built by the inmates to make 4.4.23-sc1. This kernel provide important audio capabilities as listed below. These capabilities are not available in mainline kernels.
The following are enabled via <params> supplied to the dtoverlay in config.txt
- 352.8k and 384k sample rates for es9023, pcm512x, pcm514x
- Integer bit clock divider for es9023 codec for less jitter on 48K and 96K sample rate
- DSD128 via 352.8k sample rate (either DoP or DSD -> PCM on-the-fly)
- Bypass pcm512x, pcm514x oversampling filter via 384k sample rate
And by chip type / overlay.
PCM512X, PCM514X
- 384K is automatically enabled, no param needed
PCM5102, ES9023

MMAP (Memory Mapped I/O for I2S interface)
Memory mapped I/O is available for the I2S interface providing the Player application enables it. Currently MPD does not enable MMAP. Other players for example Squeezelite do enable MMAP.
The other new feature shown in the screen shots is improved handling of chip options for the Burr Brown family of chips including PCM514x, PCM512x and TAS5756.

Do these new kernels improve the sound with an IQ Audio DAC+ i.e. PCM5122?
(just checked and I'm on release 2.3, which is over a year old now).
@Tim,
I reformatted the USB drive tonight - NTFS. Copied several folders of music across, plugged in and started the Rpi. Moode did not recognize the drive but the software is current set on "updating" so maybe it will show up later.
Here is the result of ls -l /media command at the moment
pi@moode:~ $ ls -l /media
total 0

It should show up under /media as a folder. For example I named a USB stick "VFAT-8GB". It appears under /media as
/media/VFAT-8GB

Hi,
Just a brief update and some updated screen shots. Thanks to one of the inmates, Squeezelite is coming to Moode :-)

Not really sure if this has been asked before or if I can even address this here with Tim, but is it possible to install / activate a equalizer so I can get some more juice out of my Audiophonics dac? Maybe via the alsaeq? Or does this not work at all with the Moode distro? Thanks
