I'll need to do that too, wasn't going to bother as it's running fine on 3.5 but if it's that simple and pain free I might as well.Quote:

Yip just finished updating it, I waited a while and when I couldn't access the config page I knew it was doing something, there was also a clock icon on the top left of the MoOde page so I waited a little longer then pulled the plug 😉Quote:

Since upgrading, using the experimental kernel and upsamping to 384, I'm now getting system crashes, usually after coming back to use the UI after a long period, ie overnight. I find that the Pi has crashed and needs rebooting.
Does anyone know the likely culprit (the kernel, the upsampling?) I use the Boss, so using the experimental kernel is essential. I really don't want to have to go back to an unnamed alternative beginning with V!!! ;)
I had a couple of issues initially. Not sure what I did to make it work but might have been the increased current setting.
Interesting idea, thanks Grant. I'll give it a go.Quote:

Hi Tim,
RT and RR.
Would changing either of these potentially increase stability?
Cheers, Luke
Hi Luke,
Standard kernel is for stability and overall balanced performance. The Advanced kernels are experimental and may result in issues, instability, etc particularly the RT kernel. They exist primarily for making the audio enhancements developed by kernel devs Clive Messer and Martin Sperl available since these enhancements will likely never be included in mainline (Standard) Linux kernel. At some point though as mainline Linux kernel evolves it may not be possible to patch in the audio enhancements and thus the Advanced LL and RT kernels may not even be possible in the future. Enjoy while we can :-)
-Tim
Hi Tim,
thanks for the reply. I thought I had read that somewhere, about the experimental kernels being potentially time limited. I agree, and I'll enjoy it while I can!
Cheers, Luke
3.6 now working with The ALLO Boss... Happy days :)
Thanks Tim :)

The Boss has its own Reclocker so no need for the Kali.Quote:

Looking for some guidance with Airplay please fellas.
I have used Airplay previously with Spotify and Tidal with no problems. Since using the latest version of Moose, it app to be working, but there is no sound - any thoughts?
I know these are obvious but....Quote:

I used to have an issue where when I used the iPad to control volume it cancelled the alsamixer volume setting MoOde and reset it to 0, I then had to go into Configuration and set it back to 100. Check the setting isn't at 0. This happened every time I used the iPad on Airplay.
Have you enabled the Airplay option within MoOde?
If you recently enabled the Airplay win MoOde it might need a reboot or restart of mpd to kick out into life.
Thanks Mike. I think I've tried all these things but will double check again:) Just off to a wedding so will have to be tomorrow.Quote:

If so that's fine, now go to the menu and choose shutdown, once you know it's shut itself down pull the plug on it then wait a few seconds and then plug it back in and wait on it showing up on the iPad/iPhone again on your airplay menu.
Also, a good idea after this is to restart MPD.
I've had to do this one out twice as even with a reboot it didn't do a full switch off and back on if you know what I mean.
What iOS are you on, as I know iOS 10 onwards had issues with Airplay on some devices, but that seems to have been fixed in later updates.
Done all this and still no joy unfortunately. I'm on IOS 9.3.5Quote:

Ok, lets confirm it plays the test file that is installed within MoOde itself, I think it's listed in SD card when you 'browse' and lets you test left right and phase.
Just want to eliminate that you are only getting sound issues with Airplay, or if you have no audio at all.
Playing from a memory stick plugged into the Pi with no problems.Quote:

0.15
Just to give a comparison that I know works.

Just about to have my dinner, will try your settings after and report back.
I've just a post over in Diyaudio with someone having similar issues and they cured it by reinstalling Advanced Kernel LT.
If you've not sure this before just install it and give it plenty time to install and wait for the reboot message before rebooting, I usually just shutdown then pull the plug and then plug it back in again, seems to work better than a soft reboot.
Yep, that was me. I have a Piano2.1 DAC and the LT Kernel saved the day.Quote:

Thanks for the help chaps.
Ok Pity.Quote:

I can also use an old Samsung Galaxy 3 with no issues and those can be bought pretty cheaply. That would allow you to use MoOde again.
Other option is to send me your Pi and I'll set it up for you then send it back.
I also have Spotify Connect working on my second player upstairs using Volumio and Volspotconnect.
But I can also Airplay to both devices no problem, I bet it's something in the initial setup that's causing the issue.
Have you tried a different iOS device to rule out the older iOS?
PS: you can tell I never give up on issues like this 😉
Try Picoreplayer that supports Airplay, I use it on my second pi in the computer room using TuneBlade to send Airplay from my pc.Quote:

Glad I don't use airplay now. Looks complex
It's simple really, turn Airplay on in MoOde settings ( just need to do this once on initial setup ), press play on your iPad/iPhone then select the Airplay option on taskbar and away you go. Only difference being it's streaming from the iPad etc so it runs the battery down, unlike using Bubble on android that is just a controller and streams direct via the service your using.Quote:

Edit: but you knew all that didn't you doh!
If it was me I'd get a cheap android device and use Bubble uPnP.
Just a thought, you are using the Airplay option on your iPad and NOT Airplay Mirroring ?
Airplay Mirroring doesn't work with MoOde. You need to use the Airplay option and select MoOde from the pop up menu.
One other thing to try is a different mSD Card, I have had one fail to work properly here and it took me ages to try another one and it. worked right away.
I was wondering if anybody uses the normalisation available in Moode?
I've turned mine on and will be listening to see if there is any sound degradation.
Just selected the question mark against the item in the configuration. Converts to 16 bit, which isn't good for any hi res. I'll still give it a listen I think.
Have come to the conclusion that it is the Dragonfly causing the problem with it's software volume being off. Just need to see if there is a way of turning it up!
Any one tried using a FLIRC USB Universal Remote Control Receiver with Moode, can it be done? Thanks
Well, after looking into it a bit more, FLIRC works by copying keyboard presses. Moode works on touch screen or with a mouse pointer so I don't think FLIRC will work, unless moode was to support key presses.
Since the latest in-place update I seem to have lots of albums appear with no cover art, even though they have a .jpg in the folder. As a test, I changed one filename from cover.jpg to folder.jpg and updated MPD to see if it made any difference, but it still didn't appear. I haven't worked out any pattern to it, anyone have any ideas why this might be happening or how to resolve it?
EDIT: Problem solved by powering off and on again where reboots had failed to fix it, weird. Please ignore! :)
I've just updated from Moode 2.5 to 3.1. When I try to transfer my playlists saved from the old version to the new, I get an error message using the pi user account. Is there a root account available? If so, what's the password?
