Moode Player Help

Thanks again Tim,

Are we talking about a Moode subset of packages (ie Raspbian but without eg: LXDE) or about the particular compilation of certain packages being moode specific (ie programs compiled with different flags to what stock Raspbian might have)?

I very much look forward to seeing 2.5, is it a radical departure from the Tsunami codebase, or a more advanced set of developments upon it?

While I'm on, does the Orion_Optimize script have any other dependencies or is it (standalone) writing those kernel parameters to the requisite config files?

Hi Marc,

(1) All that u mentioned including custom compiles of MPD, shairport-sync, upexplorer, etc, a bunch of OS stuff deleted or turned off, custom dir structures and permissions for certain things, custom udev rules, alsa config and the list goes on! The distro could probably be made from stock Raspbian by cloning a Github repo and then running scripts to compile and configure everything, but developing, debugging and maintaining install scripts would probably be more work than Moode itself :-)

(2) Moode 2.4 is a vast improvement over the code that I started with way back in 2014, but the 2.5 rewrite I'm currently working on is as radical as it can get with 2.x, everything is being overhauled and with particular attention to improved performance :-)

(3) The orion script (kernel tweak) does not exist anymore for 2.5. The service kills in the script are moved into main PHP worker and the scheduler tweeks not incorporated. There are several old legacy components that are not really needed anymore.

Regards,
Tim

As its another miserable day decided to try again to get my spare rpi to go wireless...feel like Robert Bruce here lol.... Anyways it still wont work... Put ssid and password in etc it looked like it might work but after powering downcand removing the ethernet... No connection again... Its infuriating lol..

Hi Grant,

Check to see which type of WiFi security is configured on the Plusnet router. The setting in Moode Network config has to match this.

Tim

Checked it Tim. Its wpa2 so was on right bit.. Dunno why this is but it wont work. I tried spaces between the hyphen in case but didnt work. Its the only thing ive had that wont connect wirelessly.... Its not far away either..about 6 ft

Hi Grant,

SSID is case sensitive. Thats only thing I can think of...

Moode 2.5 has new WiFi setup screen and updated code so maybe it will be solution for u :-)

Tim

Ok i will try it in jan when the new one appears. Thanks

Hi,

when I was using PiCoreplayer I had to edit and add some files via Ethernet and SSH with Putty for the WiFi dongle to be detected, not sure if MoOde is the same.

I gave up on Wifi for my Pi and just run it via a powerlink adapter.

Mike.
