tcmods Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi, Here's a few more release 1.8 screen shots showing the new PCM volume setting feature and updated layout for the new Playback panel with integrated playlist. The blue screen shot shows that for BerryNOS Red which has no hardware volume controller we get "no PCM volume mixer detected" and no "SET" button. The orange screen shot shows that for IQaudIO DAC+ which does have hardware volume controller we get a volume level and ability to change it. This feature provides an easy way to set the 0dB point for configurations where the audio device has a hardware volume controller and either MPD software volume is being used or an external volume control is being used. Enjoy! Regards, tcmods.org MoodeAudio Twitter Feed TC ====================== 1.8 Release 2015-04-DD ====================== New features - NEW: Playback panel with integrated playlist (choose layout from Customize popup) - NEW: Change Player and network service names - NEW: Set ALSA PCM volume level - NEW: Select local timezone - NEW: Choose Theme color from Customize popup Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi TC - Can you talk about the major differences between your product and Volume and Rune Audio? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Cebolla Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Presumably that's Volumio rather than Volume, Chris. Yes, would certainly be useful to know, especially as they all have similar looking WebUIs. Moode Audio looks like its got a decent internet radio functionality, which I don't think the others have. Does it have an OpenHome Media and/or UPnP renderer front end to MPD like the others? We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. -- Jo Cox Link to comment

Lendrix68 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi there new to the forum and Moode. Have successfully got it up and running early days but I hear a difference between volumio rune and this product, however I cannot seem to connect my synology nas to Moode. The layout and direction is practically the same as the other apps yet I continue to get error messages. I would be grateful for any assistance thx Link to comment
tcmods Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi, If you are using SMB/CIFS, please post back your entries in the Source screen and I'll try and reproduce the connection on my end. To troubleshoot on your end, verify that the connection can be established manually using the same mount command that the player uses. (1) ssh root@moode (pwd moode) (2) mkdir /mnt/NAS/Music (3) SMB/CIFS mount -t cifs "//IP_ADDRESS/REMOTE_DIRECTORY" -o username=USER_NAME,password='PASS_WORD',rsize=8048,wsize=8096,iocharset=utf8,cache=strict,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 "/mnt/NAS/Music" Example: mount -t cifs "//192.168.1.125/Public/Music" -o username=tim,password='curtis',rsize=8048,wsize=8096,iocharset=utf8,cache=strict,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 "/mnt/NAS/Music" (4) NFS mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3,ro,noatime "IP_ADDRESS:/REMOTE_DIRECTORY" "/mnt/NAS/Music" Example: mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3,ro,noatime "192.168.1.127:/synology143/Music" "/mnt/NAS/Music" The following log file contains a record of the mount process and any errors. /var/log/php_errors.log Regards, TC Link to comment
Lendrix68 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thank you for your help. I am actually using NFS was my oversight completely I forgot to change the host Id on the NAS. All is good now and the library is updating. Thx again, Link to comment

tcmods Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hi, Starting to work on release 1.9 for end of May Some items on the to-do list include the addition of some great new listener-supported, commercial-free radio stations, UPnP enhancements, streamlined theme changer internals, UI improvements and possibly some enhancements to MPD and SoX.

montesquieu Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Does Moode support Hifiberry Digi+ board (and their DAC - though I only have the Digi+) It's an I2S device but not sure if it needs any special configuration? It would be good to have USB output direct from the Pi as well but not sure how that's achieved? (I have a Musiland 01 asychronous USB receiver board fitted on my DAC). Link to comment

Hi, Yes, simply select Digi+ or DAC+ from the System config page. For USB DAC, just plug it in, reboot and u should be good to go Regards, TC Link to comment
tcmods Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi, Some screen shots of Playback History feature coming in release 1.9 Regards, TC Link to comment
tcmods Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi, Here's a screen shot of the completed Playback history feature in release 1.9 that includes the following: - Typedown search - First/last page speed buttons - Google song search The playback history log is turned on/off by a setting on the Custom config popup and cleared if desired, by a setting on the System config page. System logs can also be cleared via System config (no need for ssh!). The history log is maintained by server-side code so no need to have the Player UI running.

tcmods Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi, Just a couple quick announcements: (1) There is a nice review of Moode in Part-Time Audiophile Review: Raspberry Pi 2 as Music Streamer | Confessions of a Part-Time Audiophile (2) tcmods.org web site has a new look as part of transition to new moodeaudio.org domain/email sometime in June. (3) Several nice UPnP enhancements have tested out and should make it into release 1.9 - Album art displayed if URL provided by UPnP DB server - Improved metadata handling for UPnP song files - Play/pause handling for UPnP song files Regards, tcmods.org Moode on Twitter TC Link to comment
tcmods Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hi, Moode Audio Player release 1.9 is available for download at tcmods.org This release includes new Playback history log, UPnP album art display, on-demand help/info system, great new Radio stations and a variety of code updates, improvements and bug fixes inluding a major fix to miniDLNA server config. Refer to the release notes below and attached screen shots. Highlights: (1) The Playback history log provides type down search and each log item contains a Google search link for song/album/artist. The log is server-based so no need for the Player UI to be running. (2) The UPnP album art feature provides display of album art from UPnP/DLNA servers thanks to some nice coding from Jean-Francois Dockes, author of the excellent upmpdcli UPnP renderer included in Moode. (3) System and Playback history logs can be cleared via settings on System config page thus no need for ssh commands (4) miniDLNA config fix prevents its folder tree from also being indexed by MPD causing N times the number of actual songs to be indexed. Enjoy!
