Moode & streaming on internet

[Phil35]

Hi,
I'm very happy with Moode Audio, great software. I use it almost every day.

Today the configuration is :
Raspberry Pi with Moode Audio:
- Input:  connected to local NAS where music is stored,
- Ouput: jack or bluetooth to hifi local system.

I'm thinking of a next step in term of usage:
- Output to internet (via VPN): so the music can be available on my smarphone or from my PC.

I read some articles about icecast and others pieces of software, but not clear enough for me.

What is for you the right path to go?

I'm posting there because I made some searchs without any success, see hereunder.
Thank you
Phil35

@Phil35

Have you tried the HTTP streaming built into moOde? See m>Configure>Audio to enable and configure it.

As @TheOldPresbyope mentioned you can turn on the HTTP server in Audio Config and this will make whatever MPD is playing available at http://moode:8000. You could then create a new Radio Station with that as the URL.

Hi,
I must be stupid ... no success

Yes I selected "SET"  on http streaming, see screenshot.
but nothing on port 8000

I found the port 6600 with information on MPD version: "OK MPD 0.23.5".see screenshot

no result for command: lsof -i -n  |grep 8000

Last lines of file /etc/mpd.conf seems correct:
--

resampler {
plugin "soxr"
quality "high"
threads "1"
}

audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "ALSA Default"
device "_audioout"
mixer_type "hardware"
mixer_control "Headphone"
mixer_device "hw:1"
mixer_index "0"
dop "no"
stop_dsd_silence "no"
thesycon_dsd_workaround "no"
}

audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "ALSA Bluetooth"
device "_audioout"
mixer_type "software"
}

audio_output {
type "httpd"
name "HTTP Server"
port "8000"
encoder "lame"
bitrate "320"
tags "yes"
always_on "yes"
}
--

I also reboot the raspberry .. something I don't like to do, I prefer understand

I look to some sites as: https://github.com/moode-player/moode/tree/master   where twitter link should be replaced

Thank you for your time, I apologize,  that seems obvious

Works fine on my end.

- On Pi named "moode" turn on the HTTP server
- On another pi create a radio station with url = http://moode:8000
- Start something playing on moode
- Play the radio station on the other pi and the music is what is playing on pi named "moode"

The lsof command is not part of the moode image.

[Phil35]

Ah you're right, of course you are.
I forgot one point "Start something playing on moode"
then everything is fine.
If there is nothing to hear ... the port 8000 is not active.

Yes, I have installed lsof package to detect if mpd has the port 8000 opens. The port 8000 is open ONLY when there is something to listen ;-)

# lsof -i -n |grep 8000
mpd 1557 mpd 17u IPv4 993926 0t0 TCP 192.168.6.112:8000->192.168.6.18:55092 (ESTABLISHED)
mpd 1557 mpd 26u IPv4 993604 0t0 TCP *:8000 (LISTEN)

Thank you M.T.Curtis and M.TheOldPresbyope
