Just download and installed 2.7. All working great. One very small problem. Just added a couple of albums to my hard drive which although show up in the browse section they don't show up in the library at all.
Any ideas folks? No doubt Tim might be along to solve that particular one.
Cheers

Thanks

Normally, the power bank will shut off with the Pi-2 but the Pi-3 seems to draw more current in the off state and exceed the threshold limit of current that the power bank unit senses to
power itself down. This link indicates that it is drawing about 220 mA when powered down.
It is beyond my capability to sort this out but I thought it might be in your ballpark. I will update to the new kernel allowing the BT to be shutdown to see if it might be related to
this new functionality in the Pi-3. No rush. Thanks.
I put a switched connector inline to avoid this using my battery pack. Works fine

Hi Tim.
I'm now downloading 2.7 :)
Will Moode be including the ALLO audio dac anytime soon?
Thanks
Jo :)

Hi Tim, do you have any thoughs on elliminating the need to provide user/pass for NAS shares?
Its a pita as most NAS configurations allow guests read access on the shares.

Planning on building a new DAC with RPI - Kali Reclocker and DDDAC (1794a)
Interested if anyone has a similar set up and if Kali works well with the Moode player.
I prefer Moode to Volumio and would love to have it working with the components I've listed. Over on DIY forum there are a couple of members successfully using RPI, Kali, DDDAC & Volumio so fingers crossed that Moode will also be a successful player with that combo ;)
Hi Al.
I am using the RPI 2 with KALI and Piano 2.1 running Moode 2.7 using the IQAudio DAC+ setting (for the time being) - Works great and sounds smashing! :)
I'm using RPi, with Piano 2.1 DAC, Kali Reclocker with MoOde 2.7 into my TQ Claymore amp ( main system ) and it sounds superb, best I've heard my digital music and streaming services.
Thanks for the replies, that's very encouraging to hear (pardon the pun) ;)
Will be 3-4 weeks before I get it all up and running but will be reporting back on how it sounds.
Hi to all...
Please any help with Mo0de player 2.7 release and 2x16 LCD.for LCD I use i2s module with 4 pin connecction with rpi2
RPI is 2 gen. model B V 1.1
I connect LCD like this:
-scl pin5;
-sda pin 3,
- +5v on pin 2 and
- gnd on pin6.
also in GUI sys/conf I select LCD on and in path to Python add /var/www/currentsong.txt
in putty I got this:
pi@moode:~ $ mpc status
"AddictedToRadio.com - Studio 54 Disco Hits AAC": Corey Daye - Pow Wow (12 Inch Version)
[playing] #1/3 293:17/0:00 (0%)
volume: 90% repeat: off random: off single: off consume: off

The user-written Python script is responsible for parsing /var/www/currentsong.txt file and using its contents to update an LCD display. Moode does not contain any code to write data to specific LCD or Touch displays, it only provides the event loop (LCD update engine) and metadata (currentsong.txt).

Hi to all again..
If anyone here has experience with moode player and 2x16 lcd. I would like to get advice what I need to do.
when I run python on rpi2 I got text message on LCD.
now I need advice how to make proper path in between moode player and python.
if I'm right... :)
it will be nice to get some web link or some text example which is intented with moode player.
thanks to all in advance
Quick question - haven't fired up Moode in a while and now it is not showing up on my iPhone or iPad under air play. All other functions work and the air play option is on in settings but it doesn't work . I'm running vers 2.6.
Thanks
George
I think if your iPad or iPhone is on latest iOS you need to swipe up to bring up the menu then swipe left to be able to choose airplay on MoOde.Quote:

Thanks Mike ut that's not it. I am able to get to the airplay menu. My Apple TV shows up but not the Moode player.Quote:

Yeah, good idea, I was just about to say the same, any changes made might need a reboot.Quote:

Hi Tim
Many thanks for this.
The advanced kernel setting sounds awesome
Happy days
Is this just for the new rpi?
Raspberry Pi 2 &3 are supported
Thanks Duncan. Might give it a run.
Moode 3.0 installed with advanced kernel added . Sounding very good... is 96 still the best level?

Yes, that's wot I run @
Equates to 86 under digital in alsamixer, stops clipping on hot recordings I've found.
Good, thanks. The kernel downloaded and installed quick quickly. Maybe a minute.. was expecting longer. Using my usual setting of 32 384.
I like it - reports of better SQ. Must give it a try :)
I have resampling disabled as I prefer bit perfect play back
Happy Days

I'm running v3 with DSD over PCM set to "No" (IQ dac does not provide native DSD support).
How do I software control the volume as it seems to be either on (1 or >) or off (0) when using the playback volume control with DSD files.
I can only change the playing volume using the audio configuration ALSA volume setting which is not very convenient as each change needs a set command.
Also need to say I am using the IQ DAC amp so have no hardware volume control on an amplifier.
Im I missing a trick somewhere ?

MPD handling of volume with DSD format is confusing.Quote:

I've installed 3.0 and now trying to do initial setup but when I try to Configure MPD I get this...
mpd-config: connection to mpd failed
So I've been halted at step 2 after selecting audio device then reboot, next move is to Configure/MPD but it fails :(
There's some discussion about this on the diyAudio thread.Quote:

Fresh Install
I've managed to solve the MPD issue with help form DIYAudio pages
So onto the next step now lol

Re-test volume with DSD.
Also, if you end up using MPD resampling with DSD then first Install Advanced kernel. This provides 32/352.8 rate which is an even multiple of DSD64, the exact rate for DSD128 and an even divisor for DSD256.

Thanks, Tim.
Just installed v3.0, installed the advanced kernel too.
So... are you guys running with Software or hardware control set in moode? Bit confuzled.
I normally run it with Hardware, and the Moode rotary control at 100 and the same in Alsamixer.
:scratch:

Seems to be working really well with the new kernel.

Thanks Alistair.
I'll give it a go.
Is there a way of showing the output stream information on the playback screen? I'm sure once I had it showing it, unless that was Volumio.
Not important, just for giggles really.
