Hello
I'm setting up Moode on a new PI. I already have the 32-bit version running on an older PI.
Issue:
Moode loads OK in the browser and seems OK. After I set the first config change (I2S card), the UI becomes unresponsive.
Setup:
- moOde 8.3.6 (64-bit)
- Stored on Sandisk 16GB Ultra
- Image prepared with Raspbery imager
- PI 3 B+
- IQ Audio DAC+
- Chrome browser on Mac
I've checked the web for solutions and I've re-imaged the card. I'm a bit stuck.
Damaged card?
Thanks

Reboot and post the startup log either via the command moodeutl -l or it can be downloaded from the Logs section of System Config.

Thanks. Something doesn't look right...

And it wouldn't let me download this until I set some options on the config/settings screen such as hostname and options.

Thanks Tim
I was following the guide ( https://github.com/moode-player/moode/bl.../setup.txt) and it froze after the first step

No issues on my end with 3B+.
Maybe someone can repro your issue.

OK - working now.
I suspect the most likely issue was that I did NOT enable SSH and setup an SSH user/password.
Thanks Tim

If it's useful, I've rewritten part of the setup guide to make the initial steps a bit clearer (for me at least).
See setup_v2.txt below - I cannot seem to attach it in the forum.

SETUP STEPS
1. INSTALL MOODE IMAGE ON AN SD CARD
====================================
1.1 DOWNLOAD MOODE IMAGE FOR YOUR PI
Download and save the ISO image to your computer from:
https://moodeaudio.org/#download
1.2 DOWNLOAD THE IMAGER
Download the official Raspberry Pi imager from:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio...ng-images/
Don't use other imagers.
1.3 INSTALL MOODE OS ONTO THE SD CARD WITH THE IMAGER
- Select the model of your Pi.
- Select the ISO image via the "Use custom" category.
- SSH and userid/password are REQUIRED for correct operation of moOde. If you
don't set these moode will not work correctly.
- Optionally set the host name. If a host name is not set in the Imager then the
default hostname "moode" is used.
- Optionally set your WiFi network SSID and password.
2. ACCESS YOUR MOODE PI
=======================
2.1 INSERT THE SD CARD
2.2 OPTIONALLY - CONNECT USB or I2S AUDIO DEVICE
2.3 OPTIONALLY - CONNECT ANY USB STORAGE DEVICES
2.4 IF USING WIRED NETWORK - INSERT ETHERNET CABLE
2.5 POWER ON
Wait a couple of minutes for moode to boot up.
2.6 ACCESS MOODE VIA A WEB BROWSER
- Access the moOde WebUI using a browser and one of the URL's below.
Square brackets means add your own correct value.
* http//[the host name you chose]
* http://moode
* http://moode.local
* http://[IP address of the pi]
If you did not setup the wifi access details on the SD card, use access point
details below and for more details look below these setup steps:
- IP address 172.24.1.1
- SSID Moode
- Password Refer to the SECURITY section
- Channel 6

################################################################################
ACCESS POINT (AP) MODE
AP mode starts automatically when any of the following are true.
- WiFi SSID is set to "None (activates AP mode)" in Network Config, Router
mode is Off and there is no active Ethernet connection.
- WiFi SSID is defined in Network Config but no IP address was assigned after
attempting to connect to the SSID and there is no active Ethernet connection.
- Router mode is On in Network Config and either WiFi SSID is defined but no IP
address was assigned or SSID is set to "None (activates AP mode)". An active
Ethernet connection is required for Router mode to function but it does not
need to be active at the time AP Router mode starts.
FILE SHARING
- SMB File Sharing can be turned on in System Config. SMB (Samba) shares named
NAS, Playlists, and SDCard are automatically created. Each USB disk will also
have a Samba share created that is named after its Disk Label.
- NFS File Sharing can be turned on in System Config. Access and options defaults
are provided but can be manually overridden. Each USB disk will have an NFS
export created whose path is /media/disk_label.
WIFI ADAPTERS THAT ARE REPORTED TO SUPPORT Access Point (AP) MODE
- Raspberry Pi integrated WiFi adapter
- Comfast CF-912AC dual-band WiFi adapter
