+--- Thread: [How to do instruction] Moode 8: Add bluetooth codec support for AAC, aptX & aptX-HD to bluez-alsa package (/showthread.php?tid=5583)
RE: Moode 8: Add bluetooth codec support for AAC, aptX & aptX-HD to bluez-alsa package - jenzd - 06-30-2024
Quick update: I checked if the guide still works with the Moode 9 series (tested with version 9.0.3). In principle the build process still works, yet I encountered two problems:
- Step 1: Installing the build dependencies with apt repeatedly caused a crash on both a Pi Zero 2W and a Pi 3 A+, probably due to insufficient memory (both have 512 MB). This issue should be solved in the upcoming Moode version 9.0.4 where swap file support has been activated.
- Step 2: The bluez-alsa source package is currently still missing in the moodeaudio package repository for bookworm. In order to get the package source, I had to temporarily add the source repository meant for the previous Rapsberry Pi OS version (bullseye) to the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/moodeaudio-m8y.list :
Code:
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/moodeaudio-m8y-archive-keyring.gpg] https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/moodeaudio/m8y/deb/raspbian bullseye mainBest regards

RE: Moode 8: Add bluetooth codec support for AAC, aptX & aptX-HD to bluez-alsa package - Tim Curtis - 07-01-2024
It looks like that package was never built for Bookworm and uploaded to the CS repo.
It contains the codecs, correct?
ETA: I just built bluez-alsa from our pkgbuild repo and it creates the following "blue-alsa-utils" package which is already in our CS repo.
Code:
bluez-alsa-utils_4.1.0-2moode2_arm64.debI don't see where a "bluez-alsa" package gets created.

Some step must have gotten missed in setting up the CS Bookworm repo.
On a moOde 8.3.9 player I get this

RE: Moode 8: Add bluetooth codec support for AAC, aptX & aptX-HD to bluez-alsa package - Tim Curtis - 07-01-2024
I think I figured it out. I had to put on my CS hat and then I noticed that the bluez-alsa package in the repo is a source (dsc) package and not a binary deb. And yes bluez-alsa_4.1.0-2moode2.dsc was never uploaded to the repo.
There is a new version 4.2.0 bluez-alsa so I'll prolly build that and then upload deb and dsc.
RE: Moode 8: Add bluetooth codec support for AAC, aptX & aptX-HD to bluez-alsa package - jenzd - 07-01-2024
Perfect, thanks Tim! :-)
I guess, it's still not possible to distribute a binary version which also has built-in AAC support (on top of aptX & LDAC)? In that case I could write an updated guide for those who are interested in building a package with added AAC support for Moode 9.

Correct. libfdk-aac is still marked as Non-Free.

@jenzd just an FYI that the source package for bluez-alsa 4.1.0 is available in the CS repo.
