Upcoming moOde 9.0.5 release - Tim Curtis - 07-10-2024
Hi,
Here are WIP release notes for upcoming 9.0.5 release.
LocalUI gets some attention :-)
The HDMI-CEC feature can automatically turn on attached HDMI displays that support at least CEC 1.4 protocol. I only have one config that I can test this on, a Yammy AVR and Samsung 7 series display, so hopefully feedback from the field can help to improve the robustness of the feature.

Here's latest WIP release notes
Whats new:
- Fixes and updates for Plexamp renderer support
- Fix for Multiroom Config
- Fix for CoverView css on Ultrawide displays
To make the Plexamp upgrades I subscribed to Plexpass and tested the actual client app and Plexamp. There are some issues with Plexamp and how it handles ALSA.
1. When Plexamp initially starts it opens and hogs the ALSA output until something is played and then stopped at which point it then releases the ALSA output after ~15 seconds. Hogging the output on initial start means that it can't be handled a true session based renderer like Airplay or Spotify Connect which initially start w/o opening ALSA output. They only open the output when play initiates.
2. It doesn't handle Linux/ALSA dynamic card numbering. If a configured audio device experiences a card number change after startup or reboot it fails to play and generates "unable to open dmix..." errors in the systemd service output. The audio device assignment has to be re-applied to clear this condition i.e., switch to HDMI1 then back to the audio device for example a Boss DAC.
3. If MPD or another renderer is playing when Plexamp is initially turned on it generates "unable to open dmix..." errors in the systemd service output and fails to play. To clear this condition the other app has to be stopped so it releases ALSA output then Plexamp has to be restarted.
Kinda messy.
