moOde audio player for Raspberry Pi

[0bs3rv3r]

Ah yes. This might be a nice addition for my display as well, if it all works.

Seems like this problem is easily fixed

To set the screen orientation on a device that lacks a desktop environment, edit the /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt configuration file to pass an orientation to the system. Add the following entry to the end of cmdline.txt:
video=DSI-1:1280x720@60,rotate=<rotation-value>
Replace the <rotation-value> placeholder with one of the following values, which correspond to the degree of rotation relative to the default on your display:

• 0
• 90
• 180
• 270

For example, a rotation value of 90 rotates the display 90 degrees to the right. 180 rotates the display 180 degrees, or upside-down.

Here's the documentation for the new display

https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/touch-display-2.html#about

I tried adding those lines to the Config and Cmdline but the screen doesn't turn on at all now with Moode. I will probably try a fresh Moode install later. I usually start breaking things when I tinker with config files. For now I'll use it with Pi OS and hope for support in Moode later.

Did a fresh install of Moode and tried adding this to the end of the cmdline but the display stays portrait. Worst case I will just use it portrait.

Hi Everyone.
I need your help

I did all the installation steps, but after boot the Pi, I've logged in using the command line.
I can't see the Wifi name that I've set to proceed with the setup.
On the Pi, I've see just the bash command line.

Any guidelines how can I move forward from here?

Thanks.

ifconfig is a command you can use at that prompt to show the ip address (amongst other things). Other ways to find the IP address, are to use your modem/router's admin web page. Most of them show details of each connected device on the local net.

Which browser?
The problem that I can't connect the wireless LAN configured when creating the boot SD using the imager.

Sorry, the setup guide is missing all the boot part after creating the boot SD.

Can you temporarily plug it into an ethernet port via cable? If you do then you can do as Tim said, and fix up the wireless connection for later use. Any browser on any other PC, tablet, or phone, that connected to the same local lan should work.

The problem that I can't connect the wireless LAN configured when creating the boot SD using the imager.

Just to avoid misinterpretations:
The LAN you configure when creating the SD is the LAN at your home, to which the PI will, eventually, connect to; not another LAN to which YOU can connect to...

Since you succeeded in connecting via SSH, everything is supposedly working fine... where's the problem?

I assumed that screen was directly connected to the pi - i.e. not via ssh

Exectly. Iv'e got the point that the LAN needs to fit my home Wifi network, and I reset the SD card.

But still, I can't access moode. from my main computer (not the Pi)

Sorry, I don't understand that. your home network is your LAN and it consists of both cable and wifi connected devices.

Can I also clarify that you understand that the Pi running moOde, is a running a little web server? Once you know it's ip address (type ifconfig as a command at that screen you posted a picture of - the ip address will be in the data it responds with) you just put that ip address into a browser on your main computer (instead of a normal http:// etc/ etc address) and the web page interface for moOde should be displayed in the browser.

 

[Nutul]

It will also be possible to specify the host name in the browser, usually "moode". More modernly you would like to type http://moode.local (the .local suffix telling your router to not waste time requesting a DNS for its address, and instead use mDNS locally in your LAN...)
Of course if you specified a different host-name, then use that; but again, DO add the .local thingy.

Thank you @0bs3rv3r , I did plug it with cable and it allow me to complete the configuration.
Works well now.

Hello. Is there a way to enable WPA3 support?

 

[Tim Curtis]

I think its supported by default.

Run the command nmcli dev wifito get details on the wifi connection.

Here's an example from my network.

pi@moode9:~ $ nmcli dev wifi
IN-USE  BSSID              SSID      MODE   CHAN  RATE        SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY
*       xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  AirnetN5  Infra  48    405 Mbit/s  65      ▂▄▆_  WPA2

The thing is I can't connect to my WIFI with WPA3. I've created separate guest WIFI with WPA2 just for moode and it works, but I wanted to have it under my WPA3 network.

 

[somebodyelse]

https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4718 - WPA3 support issue is still open and seems a mess as of the last update. When using built in WiFi hardware certain combinations of Pi model, WiFi device firmware and wpa-supplicant or iwd reportedly work, at least for some people, but what works on one model breaks another. It might give you sufficient pointers to get it working on your Pi. Alternatively a USB WiFi adapter might 'Just Work' as many don't have the limitations the onboard WiFi suffers from.

We haven't had any recent issues pop up in our Forum regarding WPA3 but you might want to get an account and post your particular issue and see if a discussion develops. A couple of our users have a lot of expertise in Linux networking and may be able to help out.
