Hi everybody.
I'm running moOde 4.4 with an Allo Boss Player and I'm impressed by the quality of sound and the possibilities of this player.
I have tried Volumio and Rune, but Moodeaudio is by far the best, most intuitive and most stable player that I've tested so far.
Thank you for constantly make moOde better and better (started with 4.0)!!
But when it comes to customize the player, it painfully gets obvious, that I'm absolutely stupid in "computerthings".
Especially with Linux (shame on me...)
Maybe someone of the experienced users here can explain to me one step at a time (for a computer cave man like me!!),
how I can realize the following modifications, that would make moOde the worlds greatest audioplayer for my usage:
1) I want to make ashuffle exclude a specified genre.
I have two music directories on 2 seperate USB-devices connected to the Raspi:
directory A > 1759 files (FLAC and mp3) > tagged with " SLOW " in the genre column.
directory B > 9738 files (FLAC and mp3) > tagged with genre " FAST "
To exclude genre "SLOW" from being "consumed" I tried this:
- run PuTTYPortable.exe on my win7
- connect to Raspi via wifi
- login as: pi , password: moodeaudio
> login so far, so good
pi@moode: ~

1759 is exactly the amount of files in the "SLOW" directory, that I want to listen to.
But moode just doesn't want to do, what it said to me.
Ashuffle still picks files from both "genres".
What did I miss? How can I save the changes?!
Same behavior, if I try to exclude SLOW.
Moodes answer is: "Picking random songs out of a pool of 9738 files"
> but the player still consumes from both of the directories.
How can I make moode / ashuffle to do what I want?!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2) I want to modify the file buffer in ashuffle to make crossfade work properly (new feature in 4.4)
PuTTYPortable.exe on Win7
pi@moode: ~
I type: ashuffle --queue_buffer 2 > enter
moode answers: "Picking random songs out of a pool of 11497."
From now on moode always leaves 2 files in the playlist as a buffer for crossfade.
That is exactly what I want and crossfade works fine as expected.
BUT:
When I close PuTTY, the buffer modification I've made gets instantly lost.
How can I make this option to work permanently? Even after a reboot?!
Sorry for those ridiculous "noob" questions.
I'm clearly not a computer guy and I don't know where and how to start to learn some Linux basics..
I just want to implement those two essential modifications in my moOde.
But that seems impossible for me without the help of yours
Would definitely be worth a donation to the moOd forum for me, if we can get those 2 things running.
Thank you.
