RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - Tim Curtis - 09-06-2020

Just a brief update on a nearly complete feature that provides "Add next" and "Play next" which inserts the selected track or album immediately after the currently playing or last played item in the Queue.

The menu will look like below:

Add
Play
Add next
Play next
Clear/Play

Sorry for my wording, you said the version for Clock Radio by Time is too old to be upgraded last year, and you'll find a better way to realize the personalized approach to Timed Play, such as Clock On Playlist A on 6:30 am for 30 min, Clock Off Playlist B in 2 hours, etc.


RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - Tim Curtis - 09-07-2020

If there is more demand for this type of Clock Radio enhancement I'll add to the TODO list.

New additions include:

NEW: Library filters (Lossless, Lossy, Format or Directory)
This feature allows the MPD database to be filtered as part of generating the Library. 
- Lossless: Include tracks whose format is any of .flac|.aif|.wav|.dsf|.dff.
- Lossy: Include tracks whose format is not any of the Lossless formats. 
- Format: Include tracks of a specific format
- Directory: Include tracks in a specific directory.

NEW: Renderer overlay backdrop (Cover or Backdrop image)
This feature allows the current cover backdrop or backdrop image to be used as the backdrop for the renderer active overlay.

Other updates include [HiRes] badging for radio stations to differentiate from the [HD] badging for Albums, and extending the badging to Playbar, Playback and CoverView.

Heres some screen shots.

     

The first test images may be generated soon :-)

Really looking forward to v7!

Can you clarify how the new Library filters work? It sounds like the filter is applied at the time the library is being generated. That is, if I select 'lossless' as an initial filter but later wanted to show/filter on 'lossy' than I would have to regenerate the whole library again. Is this correct? It would be great if the filter can be applied or turned on/off at anytime without having to regenerate the whole library. That is the filter is applied to the complete library rather than initially filtering when loading/generating the library. Most of the time I listen to my lossless collection, however there are times I want to listen to the lower quality 'lossy' files. Being able to filter these 'lossy' files at anytime would be great.

Great work on the other enhancements to v7!


RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - Tim Curtis - 09-07-2020

The filters are applied when the Library tag cache file is created in step 2 below.

1. MPD scans the music collection and creates/updates the MPD database file.
2. MPD database file is used as input to creating the Library tag cache file which is used to populate Tag and Album views.

Changing the filter does not require reindexing or regenerating the MPD database (step 1). It only clears the Library tag cache file so it can be created afresh (step 2) using the new filter setting. It typically only takes a few seconds.

About Qobuz, a friend just sent me this link (which I don't remember we talked about here)

https://github.com/jonaski/qobuz-api-documentation

Does this link contain useful information?
(to activate direct streaming from Qobuz to moOde)

Will we still be able to use the  --queue-buffer option?  I like setting mine to 12

Thanks


RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - Tim Curtis - 09-08-2020

Play queue commands including the two new ones don't change the auto-shuffle queue-buffer setting but they do turn off auto-shuffle because auto-shuffle needs exclusive access to the play queue. This is how it currently works.


RE: Upcoming moOde 7 series - the_bertrum - 09-09-2020

So what is the difference betrween add next and play next? They sound like they would both achieve the same result to me.

Logic would dictate that Add Next would add a track to be played after the currently playing track whilst Play Next would cancel the currently playing track and play the newly selected track.  ??
