Moode Player Help

[TimCurtis]

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
mute: 0

(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

Hi Grant,

(1) Menu, Customize: set "Display playlist" to "No"
(2) Browse panel: select NAS or USB and add your entire collection to the playlist
(3) Playback panel: click "Random", the 2nd icon on the button bar beneath the volume knob

Enjoy!

Regards,
Tim

Thanks Tim....I will give that a try...

Sorry to hijack the thread, but could do with a bit of help, I have Moode running nicely on my Raspberry Pi. The problem I have is that not all my music is being seen by Moode.

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!

Hi Richard,

Tripple-check the permissions/ownership on the files and folders that are not appearing.

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.

I will have another look at it later on this afternoon.

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

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 Felipe,

Try Moode 2.5 test release 1 (TR1) download listed under TEST CODE button at moodeaudio.org. This release has automatic ALSA volume config. You should not see "Hardware" as a selection in MPD volume control for Audiophonics ES9023 DAC.
