Moode Player Help

[Wayne Bull]

Hi Wayne,

If u are going to use external player apps, set MPD volume control to "Software" and then in System config set ALSA volume % to 100.

The Hardware volume + Logarithmic curve settings in Moode only apply to the Moode volume knob.

Regards,
Tim

Cheers Tim. Most helpful.

I think I'll try using the moode software exclusively then as I believe it's been said the sound quality is not so good using software.

It does Barry.. Trouble is that it seems to be the same switch for both lines. I would have preferred to switch the phono off but leave pi on but thats not going to happen.. Lack of forethought from me...showing my age

Any particular reason for wanting to keep the pi on Grant? I kept mine on to keep the same ip address, but now I have set it up with a static ip address it's no longer a problem, so I turn it off which saves on the battery.

Felt it was maybe better software wise to keep it on but that could be wrong. It uses little power I think. But it may be that I will have to or leave both on.or off..if I find no improvement then I can just return to using the normal smps thing and learn a lesson. Doubt that but you never know till you try it..it will look good though

Fair point Grant, alway's a chance of corrupting the SD card. In my case, turning it off saves having to recharge the battery every day.

Yes it will draw enough I guess to drain a battery even in idle. Been quite impressed with moode 2.4. seems to be quite stable not that the other versions werent. Dunno whether there is a limit to the library you can have without having any probems but Ive not found any slowing down so far. Mind you I dont have a massive library(about 6000 tracks or thereabouts)

Hi,

Two issues I have is that it doesn't appear as a renderer choice in my Bubble uPnP app on android unless I go to the web page and listen to one of the radio stations first, once I do that it shows up as one of my renderers in Bubble.

AirPlay with my iPad doesn't have this issue.

And it won't scan my iTunes folder on my NAS, it's probably me being a numpty and not getting the linking right, although it shows a green tick so it should work, but doesn't.

I dont use upnp myself so dunno... I do use the samba thing which always works well. not the fastest but quicker than unplugging and doing it on pc re adding tracks etc. I just use the allotted ip to control it. it occasionally changes if I switch it off but its not a problem. easy to find.

Hi,

Yeah I've done that too, I use Bubble because it can access Tidal, Google Music, my WDMycloud NAS and some other services I don't use. Plus I use Bubble to control my Marantz MCR510 media player that I have in my computer room, it's handy being able to do it via one App.

It doesn't do Spotify unfortunately but I prefer Tidal anyway.

Hi Mike,

Send email to tim at moodeaudio dot org and I'll help troubleshoot the iTunes NAS issue. I have iTunes library on file server and no issues.

Not sure about "renderer not showing up until.." issue. I use Linn Kinsky control point on IOS for testing and not Bubble/Android because I don't have an Android device...

Regards,
Tim
