Still getting started with 5.4 Beta 1 but here's several issues right off the bat.

1. opening http://moode (or http://moode/index.php, of course) I'm shown what looks to be the Playback panel dimmed and overlaid by a bright white "Local Input active" with a speaker icon and "0". Clicking in this area takes me to http://moode/sel-config.php. I can get from there to other Config panels using the Library/Audio/Network/System topbar menu, but I can't get to the Playback panel itself.

2. The "Back" arrow on each panel used to link to http://moode/index.php (in moOde r5.3.1, say) or, in the case of the MPD Config panel, http://moode/mpd-config.php, it linked to the Audio Config panel, http://moode/snd-config.php. Now in each panel the "Back" arrow links to the same panel.

3. In the MPD Config panel, I get strange results setting Device type to USB audio device and then choosing Volume control. The Volume control choices seem to alternate between "Disabled/Hardware/Software" and "Disabled/Software" each time I choose "Software" and click Save. This with my Creative Technology BT-W2 adapter which works flawlessly in moOde r5.3.1. I need to do some more characterization here but it's late and I'm tired.


System: fresh moode-54-beta1.img running on an RPi3B+. Pre-configured for WiFi client mode using /boot/moodecfg.txt. Either Chrome or Firefox browser running in Linux Mint 18.3 on my laptop. Browser cache cleared.

Regards,
Kent

Hi Tim,

For music only application is there any advantage in 2GB or 4GB RAM?

Assuming Buster is not compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and earlier, into the future, do you intend to maintain moOde 5.31.xx Stretch as well as moOde 5.41.xx Buster?

Best regards,
Richard.

Buster is compatible with earlier Pi versions. And probably no real benefit to 4gb at the moment but you never know what the future holds.

@TheOldPresbyope

This sounds like db weirdness, iirc moode keeps track of what url the back arrow points to in the db and the local input thing is tied to a particular hat that offers that feature. This may be a result of the new php version that required the memcache change.

Thanks swizzle. So no need to maintain Stretch based releases once Buster is out of beta.

Richard.

5.4 Beta 1 running OK on RPi3b, except that attempts to change the host name/browser title are not effective.
Edit: I can now connect through the new name but the default 'moode.local' is still active too. The System Info. shows the host name is still 'moode'.

Similar experience to Kent's here.  Forcing a "set" of those local input controls seemed to make the popup vanish.

I had all sorts of UI fun.  Adding my NAS mount manually wasn't accepted when trying from firefox. Eventually got it in after a reboot or two and switching to Edge.

Allo MiniBoss DAC.  Default volume controls resulted in no output, instead of the expected 100%.  Set it to software volume control and I got output.

Ran out of time to do any more thorough testing, alas.

Cheers,

Phil

Aha. @swizzle's comment about the db was on the mark. That combined with @jonners's mention of hostname problems reminded me that I changed the hostname in moodecfg.txt. That worked but apparently stuffed the db in the process. Beginning again with a fresh image and no moodecfg.txt is getting me farther. No "Local Input active" overlay to start and "Back" arrows properly linking.

The adventure continues.

Regards,
Kent

Added in post edit: To be precise, I changed all instances of the name [mM]oode to [mM]oode54b1 so I can't say it was the hostname change specifically that was the culprit.

The symptoms suggest a config issue of some sort during startup. I'll try to repro with a fresh image on first boot.

The session is stored in /dev/shm and it should have the permissions below.

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ ls -l /dev/shm
total 28
