If you have a lot of stuff to go on its better to take the disc to the pc and copy it in that way. If its just a few then id use samba...if your putting 50 album on it will take all day...seems to alter the bandwidth in some way too
Thanks Tim.Quote:

Yes, thats how it is configured on Moode distro.Quote:

I have lots of rechargeable AA batteries and I thought I could make a small powerbank using them to charge my phone. I know it may only charge it once per charge, since my batteries (Eneloops) are "only" 2000mAh, but... well... I like to do this things. :)
And so I ordered this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111814363258
But then I also thought I could use it to power my Raspi.
Since I'm not using wireless, just 1 or 2 USB discs (both self-powered), I thought it could feed them for a good few hours, at least.
Do any of you have an idea of the Raspi 2 power consumption?
Listening to music or watching movies makes a lot of difference regarding power consumption?
Also, I'm not sure if the battery case has some type of electronics to "garantee" 5V output, but I'd say it doesn't and I could count with a clean battery power output.
What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Luis
(Dumb question again, I guess)
Is it possible to watch movies using MoOde?
Dont think so. The rpi can do video I think but moode is an audio player.. maybe debian can do it via the hdmi slot
Moode is a front end for MPD (Music Player Daemon) so no. Buy you can play movies on your Pi (and stream to other devices) using Subsonic (which is part of DietPi http://dietpi.net)Quote:

It would be nice to have MPD and watch movies on the TV using the same Pi but, considering the cost, I may be buying another one for video.

You can run MPD and Subsonic on the same machine - in diet pi install both Subsonic and YMPD (it might be called 'HiFi' in the installation menu), easy.Quote:

Hi,
Update on hotplug:
After some config and coding changes USB DAC and Storage Device hotplugging seems to be working really well :-)
- DAC hotplug automatically pauses playback
- USB Storage hotplug supports multiple devices
- Correct mount points (USB, USB1, USB2, USB3) are assigned when plugged back in.
The only issue I've run into is when MPD is set for Hardware volume control, DAC hotplug breaks MPD <--> ALSA volume coupling. MPD must be restarted and Moode volume knob bumped in order to resync MPD volume with ALSA volume.
Regards,
Tim
There's some really nice development going on here Tim, congrats.Quote:

Here is what new USB hotplug feature will provide in Moode 2.5:
(1) DAC can be unplugged and then plugged back in without rebooting.
- Unplug: MPD automatically pauses and ALSA volume is saved
- Plugin: ALSA volume restored, pressing Play resumes from previous point
(2) Multiple storage devices can be unplugged and then plugged back in without rebooting.
- Unplug: MPD database left intact and not cleared
- Plugin: Device assigned its original mount point (USB, USB2, USB3 or USB4)
Here are some use cases where the Pi can be left running, no reboot required :-)
(1) Swap DAC to another computer and then back to Pi
(2) Swap storage device to another computer, load new music files, swap back to Pi
(3) Power off DAC and/or storage device, power back on when needed
(4) DAC and/or storage device automatically enters sleep mode
(5) Boot fresh Moode image, plug in DAC and storage devices, configure
Regards,
Tim
Cool, Tim.
Sounds like it's coming on. This is great news for me actually regarding the unplugging of the Hard drive/update etc. :)
very useful I'd think Tim. When is the 2.5 likely to be released?
Hi Grant,Quote:

After DCD, a lengthy testing phase to make sure everything still works!
There will be some test releases between now and then :-)

Cheers Tim... I wont hold my breath then lol. Finding 2.4 very good and stable
Agreed - 2.4 is working very nicely for me too
Keep up the great work, Tim!

I think it would be possible to create a recipe for taking stock Raspbian and turning it into Moode OS but that would be a significant work effort.
Btw, if u are interested in modifying the code or the OS, I'd suggest waiting for 2.5 test release. It's substantially different from 2.4 code and OS.
Regards,
Tim
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?

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.

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.. Must be me i guess as thats 2 dongles ive used that have been recommended.
Bugger it think i will sell it and forget about having rpi upstairs

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
Ah well thank you for help

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

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.
Been considering one ofvthose adaptors Mike.. Are they ok; i heard they were noisy.. My upstairs is on a different loop to the downstairs too so dunno if that makes any oddsQuote:

Mike.
Oops posting at the same time lol.
Wasnt sure if they would work as the sockets are different loop although the neutral may well be common...not tested that. If and when i sell something i might get a pair or wait till after xmas. Im getting something nice as it is lol..thanks for the info
Hi,
I have 4 in the house and all work great, 2 in living room and 1 in bedroom all feeding off the main one in PC room and stream movies, music, radio etc with no issues. Noise, I've no idea as I've not used anything else so have nothing to compare it to and I'm happy with them, far easier than Wi-Fi dongles or long runs of cable that's for sure.
The TP-Link AV500 ones I use have been rock solid with no issues, whereas the much more expensive DeVolo ones I had were returned as they were hopeless.
TP-LINK Av500 that I use HERE these are twin port ones but singles and trebles are available too.
Mike.
Got them uo on amazon...seems to be a myriad of av500 versions....lol will have to see what difference is with them all

Hi,
Can anyone recommend the best settings on moode for the audioquest dragonfly?
I've hooked it up to my pi but I'm getting no volume even though the dac is recognised?
Many Thanks
Wayne
What Operating system and which browser are you using on your computer? I understand that there are issues with Chrome and the Audioquest Dragonfly.Quote:

First set Moode volume knob to 0 and stop play back
(1) MPD and System config pages.
- set MPD volume control to "Software" and then set ALSA volume to 100.
-- OR --
(2) MPD config page
- set MPD volume control to "Hardware". This will couple MPD and ALSA volume
- optionally in Customize popup set Logarithmic curve to "Yes" if Moode volume knob 0-50 range does not produce much output
