Hi,
moOde 8.0.0 is available for download at https://moodeaudio.org :-)
This release is based on RaspiOS Bullseye Lite (2022-01-28) and Linux kernel 5.15.y branch and includes important updates, improvements and bug fixes.
The release was generated using a new build system based on Debian package management that provides a simplified and more controlled process for installing and configuring moOde. Additionally a new pi-gen based image builder was used to generate the ISO image. Refer to the Developer documentation at https://github.com/moode-player/docs for guides on how to use the new builders.
Highlights
- Raspberry Pi OS Lite 11.2 (Bullseye)
- Linux kernel 5.15.23 #1525
- Bump to MPD 0.23.5
- Bump to Pi-Bluetooth 0.1.18
- Bump to alsa-cdsp 1.1.0
- Improved Scan for Samba shares
- Improved Scan for players/receivers
- Improved Multiroom Audio feature
- Improved Local UI feature
- Improved Audio Config
NOTE: This is an image-only release due to OS change to new RaspiOS Bullseye. Use the Backup/Restore option in System Config to transfer settings from existing systems to moOde 8.
NOTE: For those that are using Local UI there is still a memory consumption issue in chromium browser that causes all RAM to be eaten up after ~3 hours. As a workaround, Local UI is restarted every 2 hours in the maintenance task. The crew is investigating possible fixes including an alternative Browser for example luakit.
