moOde 8.3.8 is available - Tim Curtis - 02-15-2024
Hi,
moOde 8.3.8 is available in the Media Player OS section of the Raspberry Pi Imager or as a direct download at https://moodeaudio.org :-)
This release is based on RaspiOS Bullseye Lite most recent packages as of 2024-02-14, Linux kernel 6.1.21, our suite of custom drivers and patches, and important new features, updates and bug fixes as listed below.
Summary
There are numerous improvements, updates and bug fixes in this release including recently released CamillaDSP 2.0.1, enhancements to the WebUI, Library, Bluetooth and Squeezelite, an experimental HTTPS mode for enhanced security, and a new more powerful REST API.
Date tag
1. Month (YYYYMM) can be added to the date tag to enable albums released by an artist in the same year to sort correctly.
2. The text string "AlbumDate: YYYYMM" can be added to the beginning of the Comment tag to enable compilation albums (where tracks have different dates) to sort correctly.
Bluetooth
1. SBC quality mode can be explicitly set
2. CamillaDSP is supported for inbound connections
3. Multiroom is supported for inbound connections
Squeezelite
1. Updated to latest version 1.9.9
2. Audio output defaults to automatically use CamillaDSP when enabled
HTTPS mode
This experimental mode automatically creates a self-signed security certificate and configures NGINX web server in moOde to only accept HTTPS connections. A manual procedure is required to add the self-signed cert to the client OS certificate store so the Browser can connect. We are looking for contributions to help document the manual procedure and make it easier.
Refer to the release notes for details.
ISO Image
The ISO image does not contain a default userid/password, SSH enabled, WiFi SSID or Access Point password. Refer to the Setup Guide for information on how to easily set these up using the official Raspberry Pi Imager.
In-place update
There is an in-place update available via the "CHECK for software update" button in System Config. Click the VIEW button to read about the contents of the update package. Be sure to BACKUP your system before applying the update.
