RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - suzywong - 08-19-2020
I ask this purely for my own education. I noticed that on the MPD Config Screen, the "output device" choice is "Allo Revolution DAC". I thought that the ARD is an external box with its own USB input - if so, why is the MPD output device not simply "USB Device"? Is MoOde doing something "behind the scenes" that is specific to the Revolution ?
As I say, just curious.

USB devices can return identifier strings. If you have one, see what you get with a "sudo lsusb -v".
ATM one of my moOde players says "Khadas Tone Control" for the USB Khadas Tone Board that's attached. (Note how the firmware writer for the board and the designer of the board didn't agree on what to call it!)

Kent

So does moode change something in the way it operates in response to a particular identifier string?
Cheers

RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - Tim Curtis - 08-19-2020
As Kent mentioned, moOde now picks up the USB device id string. This was part of the 6.7.0 release for handling the new ALSA card assignment scheme in RaspiOS 10.4 and the 5.4 kernel branch.
This ID can be used to map to a more friendly device name and description. For example ID string for the Revolution DAC is simply "Revolution" but a moOde SQL table maps it to "Allo Revolution DAC" with a few other bits of info like Chip type that are displayed in Audio info.
Thats about it.
RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - swizzle - 08-21-2020
The selective resampling and SoX custom recipe work from @bitlab is super exciting from a sound quality perspective, I’m going to have to finally upgrade and then maybe I’ll get around to some development again.

Updated WIP release notes.
The main change is the new Radio view. It provides different ways to organize and manage your stations making it a much more enjoyable feature that can scale to larger station collections :-)
Here's some screenies.
With default settings it looks the same as the current Radio view except it honors the "Show sample rate" setting for the Library. Stations with bitrates > 128 kbps are considered Hi Def.

The Radio Manager has some new options for sorting and grouping the stations, and for showing, hiding and un-hiding stations with certain attributes.
[attachment=1555] [attachment=1556] [attachment=1557]
[attachment=1558] [attachment=1559] [attachment=1560]
Here are various ways of sorting/grouping. There's some smarts in certain sorts and groups for example when sorting by Genre the sub-genres are displayed below the station name. When sorting by bitrate or format the bitrate and format are displayed under the name. When sorting by station Name, stations with names that begin with a number are grouped into 0-9.

[attachment=1564] [attachment=1565] [attachment=1566]
Search can be by any text displayed or hidden in the list for example "hd"

There are some new fields for station New/Edit.
