RE: Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm) - STUDI - 05-13-2024 Improvement of the proportions between textual elements and graphic objects on configuration screens is required when displaying an image on a 4K (2160p) resolution screen. Additionally, the layout of elements on such a screen needs adjustment. The issue of mismatched proportions between text and graphics is independent of font size selection in Preferences. To a lesser extent, this problem affects the display of the Preferences screen itself, while other elements such as library content, the current playlist, etc., are displayed correctly. System menu, Normal font: [attachment=3766] System menu, Larger font: [attachment=3767] Bluetooth menu, Larger font: [attachment=3768] The above images demonstrate that graphical controls are significantly smaller compared to the size of their text labels. Additionally, the widths of the labels are too narrow. Preferences menu, Larger font: [attachment=3769] On graphical controls, the font size is too large compared to the labels of these controls. Library, Larger font: [attachment=3770] Correct proportions of graphical elements and text fields. The above pertains to LocalGUI, as displayed on a 42-inch 4K resolution television screen. In version 8.3x, the solution was to enforce Full HD resolution (1080p) along with aspect ratio adjustment to ensure that the displayed image covers the entire television screen.

To a lesser extent, this problem affects the display of the Preferences screen itself, while other elements such as library content, the current playlist, etc., are displayed correctly. This is caused by the ancient bootstrap.css code used in the 2013 tsunamp project that moode is based on. Bootstrap was all pixel based which is not really "responsive" wrt layout. I've done some work toward converting the config elements to em but the rest will take time. Maybe another dev will take an interest in doing this :-) RE: Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm) - Tim Curtis - 05-13-2024 (05-08-2024, 07:58 PM)Tim Curtis Wrote: Hi, Has anyone tested (or planning to test) the UPnP tidal plugin? RE: Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm) - TheOldPresbyope - 05-13-2024 I haven't but I can. Give me an hour ![]() RE: Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm) - TheOldPresbyope - 05-13-2024 OK, so it took more than an hour. Re upmpdcli/TIDAL - I now have it working against mconnectLite on my iPad. FIrst hurdle - tried to install the Python module Code: rho@m900pre6c:~ $ sudo python -m pip install tidalapi==0.7.6 So I rook the bull-in-the-china-shop approach and passed the --break-system-packages option on the second try. Seems to have installed the package but again I get warnings of possible breakage and suggestion to use a virtual environment. Second hurdle - grabbing the necessary credentials and stuffing them in upmpdcli.conf. Oof, the first method looks laborious but would be useful, IMO, because you can see explicitly what you're doing (and see caveat, below). I chose, instead, to follow Jean-Francois's "Alternatively, for OATH2 mode..." method. Opened a terminal on the moOde player (m900pre6c) and ran journalctl -f to watch the messages. Started mconnectLite on the iPad. Chose the m900pre6c UPnP mediaserver and player in Browser and Play to, respectively. Browsed down to the Tidal folder. Up pops the following upmpdcli messages in the journal (sans the May 13 11:50:15 m900pre6c upmpdcli[4927]: preface to each message) Code: CMDTALK: tidal-app.py: Tidal Plugin Release 0.3.0 Here I've obscured the actual 5-character code in the link. Immediately opened the link on a web browser on my laptop, logged into the app with my TIDAL credentials, and got a message back in the browser that my device had been successfully linked to my accound. Back to mconnectLite. The TIDAL folder is now fully populated and I'm listening to The Poll Winners: Barney Kessel with Shelly Manne and Ray Brown, a jazz album I cherished back when I was a teenager. The moOde player seems a little slow to respond when I start a track but it's now playing and the WebUI is displaying the coverart and track info. Seems to display only the currently playing track and not the album track list but I haven't delved very deeply. Caveat: The method I chose creates OATH2 credentials, whiich limits access to 24bit/48KHz files (which is fine for me at this stage in my life!). To create PKCE credentials instead, and hence be able to access 24bit/192KHz files, requires using the first method with extra steps. It's all explained in the referenced documentation. Regards, Kent ETA - 1. I'm not sure it was needed using the second authentication method, but I thought I had seen a note somewhere that I had to uncomment the line #tidaluser = tidal in upmpdcli.conf in order for the plugin to start, so I did before I did anything else. When I get the chance, I'll repeat the process on another player without this initial step. 2. Using the second method results in the authentication credentials being stored in /var/cache/upmpdcli/tidal/credentials.json rather than in upmpdcli.conf. RE: Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm) - georgew21 - 05-13-2024 camilladsp works with tidal so we can use 4 chanells etc? thanks! RE: Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm) - TheOldPresbyope - 05-13-2024 Re: upmpdcli/TIDAL Part two. It seems that the interface is working only partially. Apparently, the Poll Winners album was left in the My Albums folder of my account from a previous TIDAL subscription (I re-subscribed today after a two-year hiatus). When I try to explore the Categories folder, I get a "Service login or communication failure" message in mconnectLite and I see a bunch of error messages thrown to the Pi's journal. Similar problems for all categories which aren't of the "My ..." variery. Not sure what's going on here but I'll see what I can suss out.

FYI - I've opened a new issue on the python-tidall repo concerning the failure to open the Categories folder in any Control Point app. Regards, Kent RE: Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm) - Tim Curtis - 05-14-2024 Wow that tidal plugin is kind of messy. Can you post the credentials.json file just so I know what it looks like, and do I understand correctly that the creds only get written to this file for OAUTH2 but for PKCE they need to be placed in upmpdcli.conf? |
