Moode Player Help

[robtweed]

Aha but if I use the .pls URL, the steps work perfectly.

URL is "http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/mediaset/http-icy-aac-lc-a/format/pls/vpid/bbc_radio_three.pls"

Audio Info shows:

Input Processing
Source: "http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_lc1_radio3_q?s=1446205564&e=1446219964&h= b85bdda2e7b0de9e50fddf148901675b"
Decoded to: Stereo, 16 bit, 48 kHz
Rate: 321 kbps

I can switch stations and BBC R3 comes back

It shows as No Title in the Playlist, presumably because this is what it's defined as in the .pls file:

root@moode:~# cat bbc_radio_three.pls

Hi Rob,

I'm glad the link in the pls file works but everything I've read suggests that the m3u8 links are the ones that should be used. I think I know why the first m3u8 based playlist did not work and I have a different one that hopefully will work.

The BBC playlist below is from the Naim minimserver site http://minimstreamer.com/naim/bbcradio.html and it adds a level of indirection i.e., its a playlist of playlist links.

http://minimstreamer.com/samples/BBC%20Radio.m3u.sample

Simply paste the contents at the link into a file named BBC_HD_Stations.m3u (not m3u8) and copy it to /var/lib/mod/music/WEBRADIO and then run steps 3-9 substituting the new file name as appropriate.

My theory is that the initial connection between MPD and BBC need to be to the stations m3u8 playlist file and not its direct stream url.

Btw, thanks for testing :-)

Regards,
Tim

Hi,

Here's an issue to check out, I noticed it tonight after using my iPad to airplay Tidal to my MoOde controlled Pi, after using the iPad most of the day this way, I then switched to using my android smartphone and Bubble uPnP to control Tidal to the Pi and it sounded much quieter? Something was wrong so I then went onto MoOde via the web page and checked the settings and the Hardware volume was set at 38?

I normally have it at between 90 and 100.

So, why is the volume control on the iPad changing the volume setting, software volume control I could understand, but my setup is definitely hardware volume, or am I being stoopid and missing something?

Thanks

Mike.

PS: running MoOde 2.3

Hi Mike,

The Airplay receiver (shairport-sync) in Moode interfaces to ALSA hardware or software volume directly and its separate from Moode volume. If hardware volume is being used by shairport then the ALSA volume % will change.

In one of the 2.x releases I plan to save current volume setting before starting shairport then restore it after shairport stops.

Too many volume controls!

Tim

Hi Tim,

I wondered if that was the case, I'll try and remember to reset the volume on the iPad to max before switching off. I'm assuming that should put the volume back to 100 [emoji6]

Thanks for the prompt reply and explanation.

Mike.
