Moode Player Help

Hi Tim,

Is there any way to alter channel balance from within moode or alsamixer? I came across this for alsamixer, but it not working when I log on to alsamixer via my ipad, pressing the keys alters the DSP program.


"You can also control left & right levels for the current channel independently, as follows:

[Q | W | E ] -- turn UP [ left | both | right ]

[Z | X | C ] -- turn DOWN [ left | both | right ]

If the currently selected mixer channel is not a stereo channel, then all UP keys will work like W, and all DOWN keys will work like X. "

Thanks

Hi Barry,

The "amixer" command can be used to set separate L/R channel volumes, however they will be overridden by Moode volume setting since Moode is using MPD to set volume and MPD has no capability to set or maintain individual L and R channel volumes.

amixer set <MIXER_NAME> L%,R%

Ex:

root@rp3:~# amixer set Digital 40%,60%
Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 207
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 83 [40%] [-62.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 125 [60%] [-41.00dB] [on]

Tim

Thanks Tim, but I think it will be easier to move my chair

Hi,

A new version of knob.sh is available for download and testing at
http://moodeaudio.org/downloads/knob.sh.zip

This version supports mute toggle and volume stepping to better support IR remotes.

Examples:

/var/www/knob.sh 10
/var/www/knob.sh mute (this will toggle the mute state)
/var/www/knob.sh up 3
/var/www/knob.sh down 3

Regards,

Hi,

Added the very nice ES9032 based Mamboberry HiFi DAC+ to Moode 2.4 :-)

Sorry, Tim, you're right - the Playlist is separately scrollable.

However I am finding that having such a huge playlist loaded into the browser is clobbering the performance of the rest of the page (I'm using Chrome on a Macbook Air) - everything becomes really sluggish

Hi Rob,

Turning off the Playlist loader will definitely fix the performance issue :-) just need to design it into a feature that makes sense and looks good in the UI. The blank playlist is not so nice looking...

Also, your nice idea got me looking at the code that performs automatic scrolling to the selected Playlist item. This code never worked quite right due to way it was calculating the number of pixels that had to be scrolled up or down to get the item in view. This is FIXED. And there was some bad code that I got rid of so "double-bonus" :-)

Btw, the Playlist on/off feature probably won't make it into 2.4 but if you want to turn it off manually, email tim at moodeaudio dot org and I'll send you the edit that needs to be made in player_lib.js file. Its really simple.

Tim

How about the Audio Info screen?

Hi,

Dynamic Range Radio added to Moode 2.4 plus a feature to disable the Playlist display when using random play through a large music collection. This will prevent the WebUI from being bogged down from having a huge playlist loaded into the Browser memory. Thanks @robtweed :-)

Tim

You're welcome, Tim! Can't wait to try it out. When will it be available for testing?
