It's a Pixel 4a, non-5G, via the Chrome browser. Everything up to date, but very very slow.

I'm struggling to figure out what to suggest.

I don't have a HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro (nor a downstream audio system with an S/PDIF input) on hand so I can't exactly replicate your setup. To at least work with the I2S interface I installed a HiFi Berry DAC+ Pro on an RPi3B+. Flashed a uSD card with a fresh install of moOde 7.0.0 (which I immediately upgraded to 7.0.1 once I booted).

I can not reproduce any of your issues. This combo works fine communicating wirelessly. it plays the preloaded radio stations. It loads the entire contents of my NAS into its library. It plays through my downstream audio system whether the Auto-Shuffle feature is enabled or not.

Several times you mention behaviors which suggest the mpd process is getting killed (which shouldn't happen). These include
  • connecct to spotify but gui was unresponsive
  • dashboard blank
  • connection to mpd failed
Sorry, at this point I don't have any definitive answers. Be sure your power supply, power cable, and power connector are good enough for this application. Poor power can be a source of mysterious problems with any RPi-based audio streamer. I assume the software driver for the HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro is compatible with the kernel 5.4.77-v7+ in moOde 7.0.1 but I have no way of testing that. 

You still need to post your logs but if the WebUI is unresponsive you'll have to log into the command line through SSH to be able to get them.

This reminds me that there have been ongoing differences in behavior between Chrome and Firefox browsers on Android phones. I expect it's down to their Javascript engines but no smoking guns have appeared using the browsers' dev tools. (Pure conjecture since I have nothing to do with frontend development.)

What happens if you try Firefox on your Pixel 4a?

In truth I rarely use my phone these days for anything but phone calls and texts now that I have my iPad. It's so much more comfortable to use for reading and for dealing with multimedia.


Also, out of curiosity, how many tracks are in your library? There's not hard and fast rule but big (multiples of 10K) libraries seem to bog down the interface, at least for some devices.

Kent

Here also no issues with a clean 7.0.1 on Pi2b with a Hifiberry Digi+ Pro.

You can check if the modules are loaded with the following command:
Code:
lsmod | grep wm8804

Should return something like:
Code:
pi@moodedev:~ $ lsmod | grep wm8804
snd_soc_wm8804_i2c     16384  1
snd_soc_wm8804         16384  1 snd_soc_wm8804_i2c
regmap_i2c             16384  1 snd_soc_wm8804_i2c
snd_soc_rpi_wm8804_soundcard    16384  1
snd_soc_core          200704  3 snd_soc_rpi_wm8804_soundcard,snd_soc_wm8804,snd_soc_bcm2835_i2s
snd_pcm                94208  4 snd_soc_wm8804,snd_pcm_dmaengine,snd_soc_bcm2835_i2s,snd_soc_core

Notice the wm8004 drivers; the driver for HB Digi+ Pro are loaded.
Else look in the output of the command dmesg for drivers issues.


RE: Official moOde 7.0.1 support thread - oculto - 12-29-2020

Guy’s, thank you for the attention with this case. I will try again son and post here more details.
BTW, the board i use is a generic chinese hat, with uses dtoverlay=hifiberrydigipro (i spell wrongly because i don’t have it with me now, but i will check the correct dtoverlay on raspbian)

And with this dtoverlay it works flawlessly. The last time i try, the problem occurred after i set the driver and reboot. But before that, i also set the mpd parameters. I will check it latter.

Please inform what logs have the information needed to be properly addressed here. I will post it.


RE: Official moOde 7.0.1 support thread - oculto - 12-29-2020

* * * update: i post a mistake here - the log bellow is using HIFI Digi+ but I already set the correct driver dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi-pro * * *

for some reason, the card is not recognized, but it work with raspbian and dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi-pro (but not work on moode)

no luck for me. Try to install the AOIDE driver, update moode sqllite db to offer AOIDE driver, it works fine but the card still not recognized. I tomorrow will try to rollback to 6.7.1 to see if it works


RE: Official moOde 7.0.1 support thread - vinnn - 12-30-2020

(12-24-2020, 05:39 PM)Tim Curtis Wrote: The code now handles multiple occurrences of Genre, Artist, Performer and Conductor tags and considers Artist, Performer and Conductor as all being "artists" which they are. This approach supports Classical collections which are often tagged with multiples, and it still supports Pop collections which normally only have a single Genre, Artist, AlbumArtist tag.

When there are multiple "artists" present it's not possible to determine which one is the AlbumArtist if no AlbumArtist tag exists.

In your test album The same value is assigned to Performer and Artist tags and thus we have multiple "artists", and there is no AlbumArtist tag. This is what results in "Unknown AlbumArtist".

I don't quite understand why the tagging utility creates both a Performer and an Artist tag with the same value. Is this a common practice?

-Tim

Hi Tim,

Took a while to get back to you having to find time after Christmas and work duties to look into this a bit further.
These albums will likely have been at some point EAC rips with cue sheets and I decided some years ago to split them all into tracks and ditch the cue sheets, the metadata in those cue sheets probably came from CDDB and the tools/scripts I used to split and tag the files en masse would have populated whatever was in the cue files, including the performer tags.
I've sorted the problem at my end, using metaflac I identified all the tracks with matching artist and performer tags (21195 of them!) and removed the performer tags without altering the file modification dates, turns out they were the only files I had that had performer tags so all is well.


Still I will put it out there that I don't think that's really the right way to handle album artists, I can see what you mean by looking in playerlib.php that the code is creating an array of artists tags if there are multiple artists under the same album and if the array contains more than one value then set album artist to Unknown AlbumArtist if there's no Album Artist tag and that's fine.
But as it's now adding the values of the performer and composer tags to the artist array, if a composer or performer tag exists at all (even if they're the same as artist) the artist tag is no longer used as the album artist in the absence of an album artist tag and I think that's having an effect that was not intended.


Code:
    455                 for ($i = 0; $i < $linecount; $i++) {
    456                         list($element, $value) = explode(': ', $lines[$i], 2);
    457
    458                         if ($element == 'OK') {
    459                                 // NOTE: Skip any ACK's
    460                         }
    461                         else if ($element == 'file') {
    462                                 $item = count($flat);
    463                                 $flat[$item][$element] = $value;
    464                         }
    465                         // @Atair: Gather possible multiple Genre, Artist, Performer and Conductor values as array
    466                         elseif ($element == 'Genre') {
    467                                 if ($flat[$item]['Genre']) {
    468                                         array_push($flat[$item]['Genre'], $value);
    469                                 }
    470                                 else {
    471                                         $flat[$item]['Genre'] = array($value);
    472                                 }
    473                         }
    474                         elseif ($element == 'Artist') {
    475                                 if ($flat[$item]['Artist']) {
    476                                         array_push($flat[$item]['Artist'], $value);
    477                                 }
    478                                 else {
    479                                         $flat[$item]['Artist'] = array($value);
    480                                 }
    481                         }
    482                         // @Atair: add performers to artists
    483                         elseif ($element == 'Performer') {
    484                                 if ($flat[$item]['Artist']) {
    485                                         array_push($flat[$item]['Artist'], $value);
    486                                 }
    487                                 else {
    488                                         $flat[$item]['Artist'] = array($value);
    489                                 }
    490                         }
    491                         // @Atair: add conductor to artists
    492                         elseif ($element == 'Conductor') {
    493                                 if ($flat[$item]['Artist']) {
    494                                         array_push($flat[$item]['Artist'], $value);
    495                                 }
    496                                 else {
    497                                         $flat[$item]['Artist'] = array($value);
    498                                 }
    499                         }
    500                         else {
    501                                 $flat[$item][$element] = $value;
    502                         }
    503                 }

The performer tag is a valid tag as is conductor, and in the context of classical music or audio books these are more likely to exist and be different to the artist tag and the same is likely to occur. Shouldn't have to add an Album Artist tag if the Artist string is the same on all tracks regardless of any other tags. In the case of audio books it's less likely to be an album at all, often a book or other spoken word audio file is a single file so overriding artist for Unknown AlbumArtist if performer exists doesn't make sense.
Whilst Album Artist is useful and required if an album contains tracks from multiple artists it isn't mentioned as one of the minimal proposed tags in the Vorbis specs, yet artist and perfomer is and the different contexts described.
https://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/Vorbis_I_spec.html#x1-860005.2.2

Anyway thought I'd put it out there in case this bites anyone else.
By removing the performer tags in my collection and regenerating the database I no longer have 1600+ albums showing up as artist unknown and they're again listed against their artist tags.


RE: Parametric EQ wirke different froh Version 6.7 - bitlab - 12-30-2020

With 7 we switch to the more common Q factor. Where Qneweqp = 0.5 / BWoldepq.
