Is this the correct way of doing it for max sound quality or I should be doing it any other way? Thanks

Sorry, forgot to come here to thank you for your reply. Listening to it right now, always impressed with this solution!! cheers.
Hi Tim
An SD card corruption yesterday on my Pi provided me with the perfect excuse to try out your new 2.5 TR1 test release. Suffice to say it all appears to be working perfectly for me - great job!
By the way, for others who, like me, use Macs and OS X, I'd recommend trying out the ApplePi Baker utility. I used it to not only re-flash my Pi's SD card with Tim's new IMG file, I also used it to back up my SD card after I'd configured Moode for my use. Very easy and intuitive to use and seems to work very well with El Capitain on my Mac Mini. Details here:

Btw, a couple of weeks ago I upgraded my Air to ElCap and am noticing better performance overall, solid Airplay function in both iTunes and OS X to my test Pi's, and a vastly improved Finder.
Finder is much more robust now especially with regard to reconnecting CIFS shares after resuming from sleep. Props to the Apple dev who improved Finder!

Something ive been meaning to ask is ...is it possible to get moode to just randomly pick tracks from you library ?

Hi,
Just a brief update :-)
(1) Moode 2.5 release changed from Jan to Feb 2016 due to work shifting to Moode Case prototypes.
(2) Additional metadata included in currentsong.txt lcd interface file
* existing
artist: Emily Remler
album: East To Wes
title: Snowfall
coverurl: /coverart.php/USB%2FMusic%2FEmily%20Remler%2FEast%20To%20Wes%2F0 2%20Snowfall.m4a
* new
track: 2/8
date: 2008
composer: Claude Thornhill
encoded: 16/44.1
volume: 40

(3) New setting in System config to turn on/off LCD updater engine. The engine will run a user defined Python script whenever currentsong.txt changes.
(4) Investigating local language support for the UI :-)
Regards,
Tim
Thanks Tim....I will give that a try...Quote:

All my music is in FLAC, correctly tagged to the best of my ability, is seen just fine with upnp, but just not with the Pi. I took an example album last night, checked the metadata, did a rescan on the Pi, all that shows is the Folder, no files inside. Gave up in the end & went to bed!

I redid the permissions thing last night on the parent folder to make sure, but still no joy. All files reside on my HTPC which is running LinuxMint 17.3.Quote:

Yes since starting to use 2.5 test it seems not all minecare there now either. Glad its not just me... I will send some more images down with the folder.jpg filename into the offenders. Last time i did that it started working again.
Hi,
Here are some screenshots of a few more new features in Moode 2.5 :-)
(1) LCD Update Engine
This feature provides an inotifywait based engine that runs a user specified Python script whenever Moode UI changes. The script simply needs to parse the file /var/www/currentsong.txt to obtain the information below, then update the LCD panel.
- artist
- album
- title
- coverart url
- track x of y
- date
- composer
- encoded: (ex: 16/44.1)
- volume
- mute
(2) Resume After Airplay
This feature restores Moode volume after Airplay session ends, then begins playback.
Regards,
Tim
Hi Tim, sorry but getting back to the Volume Control thingie, with the new DAC from Audiophonics the v2 with the PCXO clock version, I can setup Moode to Hardware control and it works by adjusting the volume directly in the amp.
Wasn't it supposed not to work when set up to Hardware, but only to Software? Still, Alsamixer via Putty says this hardware does not have any controls :scratch:
Edit: still wondering what's the best dac / chipset for this RPi platform, as I really like that full warm sound with lots of weight in the bass, without loosing detail in the upper end of things.

Hi,
Moode 2.5 test release 2 (TR2) is available for download via the TEST CODE button at moodeaudio.org :-)
View the release notes for information about this release.
Enjoy!

Thanks Tim, will try is as soon as I get my hands in a spare mem card.
Hi There,
Downloaded the new test release this morning after my night shift.
Maybe I'm just getting more used to doing this but the setup and populating of the stuff on the nas seems to be getting easier and quicker.
All seems good at the moment after some 10CC, Bad Company, Marillion, Floyd and Miles Davis.
The library function is working again and looks to be correct.
Many thanks for this Tim. Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Alistair
Hi Tim,
I'm testing TR2.
It installed fine, but I'm getting no sound (I'm using Hifiberry Digi+), although the music plays.
Volume is set to Software.
Any trick?
edit: problem solved.That mute button under Volume was activated... :\
Hi Tim. Been playing audio books through moode which works sound wise very well although it is not in chapters and there is no way to return to where you were . is there any way a memory spot on the program can be inserted in future so when i go back to a book it starts at the point i left off...ie if i stop the book and play some music etc.
Maybe id3 may work?

Guys when I plug a 32GB usb stick of music in my PI and try to update my library I get the spinning updating icon for hours and nothing appears in my library.
I am running Moode 2.1 I think, I am doing something wrong?
Cheers Tim.... worth thinking about, as they are becoming popular.Quote:

Cheers Tim will give it a go, the stick did load up eventually but it took about 4 hrs.
Just done the update to 2.5 and a new stick of music loaded in 5 seconds.
Happy days.

How do I select a whole album to play from the library?
I can only select one track at a time, in the older version there was the option to load up all tracks.

Thanks again Tim
Since my pc changes...ie. No longer having win 8 ..now have a linux mint and a win 7. The moode samba share doesnt seem to now be available to either... Any ideas as to how i re establish a connection?
Struth, new to this myself, hopping between Mood and Volumio, trying to set up and get used to each. Anyway, similar here, went back to Volumio and no nas drive showing to pull files from in browse..........just last song that was in playlist. fiddled, then went to the set up point where the NAS was first "mounted" opened it, settings still there as entered, so clicked to set as mount again and next thing it was updating the library from NAS. Try that........May be the players just do not like certain system changes.
Mine appeared today on the win 7 pc.... I did do a few things that I read from a browsed question; will need to see if I have it saved... it didnt do anything at the time but appeared today under network so have access again....if I find it I will post it, but dunno if it was the reason
Hi there,
I'm having an issue with chrome since the update to Version 48.0.2564.116 m three days ago.
Clicking on the menu icon i.e the three horizontal bars at the end of a line no longer displays anything.
No remove, Move, Play, add etc.
Everything seems to be working in Firefox so I'm assuming its a chrome issue.
This is with TR3 which has no no hitches up til now.
Is anyone else experiencing this.
Cheers,
Alistair
I had that with my ipad a while ago. seems to have sorted itself out and works faultlessly...must have been the browser
Hi Grant,Quote:

So much for me trying to help Struth with advice, NAS has yet again vanished on Moode. remounted it, refreshed it, rebooted and anything else I can think of but NAS refuses to appear. I know it is there because if I search with the internal search box it lists all the NAS contents .................
Any clues please?

And is the issue occurring while the Pi is up and running or does it occur only after a reboot or power up from power off?
Firefox has been problematic as Browser, probably due to its implementation of Javascript. A variety of symptoms occur where Moode UI content is not refreshing or being updated when using Firefox.

Tim
Ive found Opera very stable with moode..never seems to miss it. Although i use firefox i dont with moode
Tim. just reloaded and its all back. network was never down just showing no nas files then suddenly here they are on a reboot.
So that looks good.
BUT..... no audio output now..Aaaaaaagh track is playing, timer going round, volume at 7, headphones connected to Pi B+ port.... any simple thing I have missed? worked well before.
