Moode Player Help

[TimCurtis]

There's some really nice development going on here Tim, congrats.

I'm just wondering where can I access the sources? I see you have a github page but it's not public, there's a GPL statement on your website but no link to the sources (that I can see), am I missing something?

Hi Marc,

Github page is for Moode 3 project, the 2x code is not on Git but all thats needed to access it is to copy all of /var/www from the image.

Hi,

Update #3 on hotplug:

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,

Probably not till end of December or possibly even Jan 2016 for final release due to the complexity of some items on my 2.5 to-do list and what's called "Dead Code Delete (DCD)" to remove all code from the Player thats not needed anymore. After DCD, a lengthy testing phase to make sure everything still works!

There will be some test releases between now and then :-)

Tim

Cheers Tim... I wont hold my breath then lol. Finding 2.4 very good and stable

[robtweed]

Agreed - 2.4 is working very nicely for me too

Keep up the great work, Tim!

Hi Tim,

Is the rest of the image vanilla Raspbian?

[TimCurtis]

Hi Tim,

Is the rest of the image vanilla Raspbian?

Hi Marc,

Only the kernel, which is Raspbian Jessie 4.1.10 kernel. The rest of the OS is factored for running Moode. It can be thought of as a unique variant of Raspbian i.e., Moode OS.

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
