[Tim Curtis]

Hi,

moOde 9.4.0 is available in the Media Player OS section of the Raspberry Pi Imager or as a direct download at https://moodeaudio.org. Enjoy Peppymeter, CoreDSP and many other improvements and fixes.

The Peppy Meter add on is fantastic. I am able to turn off random on Peppy Meter by typing in a meter name, but this is not working for the Spectrum option. I type in s.1 or s.2 and so on, but hitting save changes it back to random. I looked at the text file in the PeppySpectrum folder and s.1, s.2, s.3, s.4, s.5, s.6 are definitely the correct names. Am I doing something wrong on my end?

Prolly a bug. I'll have a look later this morning.

If you know a little Linux SSH just paste the command below at the terminal prompt then press Enter (or Return) and you should be all set.

sudo sed -i "s/'\" ./' \" ./" /var/www/peppy-config.php

Theres a builtin SSH terminal in moode. Use the login ID and password that you specified in the Pi Imager.
Menu > Configure > System > Web SSH

Worked like a charm. Thank you for taking the time to look into it.

@Tim Curtis , first congrats for the software ... i'm using it since 2 years and it's great.
Can i ask you a question?

Amazon Music ... some timeline for it? or it's not in the plan?
Thanks.

You mean like Spotify Connect?

That would require Amazon to create a generalized "Connect" protocol and then a highly motivated dev reverse engineer it and maintain an Open Source derivative that Amazon tolerates.

IIRC Amazon has a Connect protocol but it only works with their Alexa device. Something like that.

I assumed something using https://developer.amazon.com/docs/music/API_web_overview.html but it says it's closed beta at the moment and doesn't look like it will be open source friendly (signing up and getting approved for the login service in order to get a clientID and deviceID, then getting an API key in order to use it.) Then there's https://developer.amazon.com/docs/music/requ_AM-Program-Requirements.html - and I suspect moode would fall foul of clause 2e:

2. Your Music Product must not:
...
e. integrate the Amazon Music Service or any Amazon Music Service content with a third-party music service or any third-party music service content;

3 a and i might be problematic too.

Spotify Connect is working again, hurray and thank you!

Hi,
I did put newest version of Moode.
Now i cant get rid of constant noise. Music is playing, but it mixing with noise.
What could be problem?
I using rp3b, digione supreme, spdif, lampucera dac...
I tried with volumio to check and here is working.
Any sugestions?

 

[roderickvd]

Which source / renderer? If Spotify or Deezer and it worked on previous moOde, I’d like to know.

Previous version worked. I tried again previous version and i have same story.
Noise is normaly when there is no signal on spdif output. Now is all the time and mixed with music ( local usb or web radio...)

Maybe the new version outputs a different format to the I2S output. Since the Allo datasheet suggests the SPDIF transmitter uses the hardware mode - i.e. hard-wired configuration (no RPi I2C pins used, apart of the hat-ID I2C1), the driver cannot configure the SPDIF transmitter register to fit the actual I2S word length. Then if the client outputs a different sample length to the I2S driver, the mismatch typically sounds like these symptomps - noise with faint distorted music.

Very odd.

Your best bet for this type of issue is to post in the Support section of our Forum. Maybe another user with the same or similar Pi + HAT can repro the issue and provide some insights or provide a success case. Both results are useful.

This isn't going to be much help but I'm using an Allo digione and a pi3b and not having any problems with the latest version of moode.
Try a fresh install perhaps?

 

[phofman]

Or doing some troubleshooting, to avoid trial/error/reinstallations.

Thank you all a lot.
Now it works. Fresh install and few times restart makes wonder.
Best regards, Bostjan

Hi, I have a rasberry pi 2 with Allo Digione and a rasberry pi 3 with HiFiBerry Digi+. The music library for both are two NAS boxes, a quite old Zyxel (with SMB 1.0) and a more recent AsusStor.

On rpi2 I have recently installed moode 8.3.9 successfuly.

On rpi 3 I initially installed moode 9.4.0. The two NAS connections were setup successfuly and moode reported the total and free disk space. When I tried to update the library however, the process stuck in a path in Zyxel (as I saw in the mpd log file), after adding a couple of albums. I rebooted the device and tried to update the library from the command line (mpc update or mpc rescan). I even deleted the database file and let the mpd create a new one by restarting the service. Nothing succeded to overcome the stuck point. To save my time (and my nerves) I installed moode 8.3.9 (64 bit) which installed and update the library successfuly.

I'm reporting my experience here to notify Tim (to whom I remain grateful) about this case.

We've had a few similar reports in our Forum regarding the current 0.24 series MPD (used in moode 9) having issues indexing a file while the older 0.23 series MPD (used in moode 8) had no issue.

Feel free to zip up the album containing the file(s) that are involved and PM me a download link. I'll have a look.
