[How To] CD playback

[fdealexa]

Hi,

i have done with winSCP unzip moOdeCDPlay-master in the directory
log in with putty
pi@moode:~ $ cd /home/pi/moOdeCDPlay-master
pi@moode:~/moOdeCDPlay-master $ /bin/bash install.sh

and reboot, but Moode does not see the CD Drive

use RPI 3B with mini kit of audiophonics
DVD-RW / DVD-Rom & CD-RW Optische Driver Reader Writer

what did i missed

Thanks

I just installed moOdeCDPlay on an RPi4B running moOde 7.0.1.
Seems to be working fine with my LG Slim Portable DVD Writer (mentioned in the GitHub repo) connected directly to a USB port on the RPi. The screen display is uglier than ever because of recent changes in moOde's WebUI, but that's a different issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Moode does not see the CD drive". Nothing is visible and nothing happens until you insert a CD into the drive.

If that's not working, then here's some things you can try-

My scripts can do nothing if Raspberry Pi OS doesn't detect the drive.
Here's what I see when I check my system using the lsusb and ls -l commands

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0e8d:1887 MediaTek Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
pi@moode:~ $ ls -l /dev/sr*
brw-r--r-- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jan  8 07:30 /dev/sr0

The first shows my drive is detected as USB device ID:0e8d:1887 (MediaTek wrote the firmware in its USB interface).
The second shows it is detected as a CD drive accessible through the pseudo-file /dev/sr0
If you don't see your drive appear when you run lsusb before and after connecting it, then perhaps you have insufficient power. Try using a powered USB hub.

If you don't see a /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1 when you run the ls -l command then my software won't work. This is standard Linux stuff that has worked on my moOde players with every drive I've tried. Maybe try a different drive?

PS - I don't know anything about Audiophonic kits. If they require modifications to the underlying Raspberry Pi OS there's an outside chance that some change has inteferred with the drive detection. This is pure speculation.

Kent,

place the USB player into the RPI
I have place an cd in the player but nothing happen

how can i see if the DVD drive seen by the RPI

Thanks

Hi Jempie,
As suggested by Kent, would you try the 3 commands (via putty)
The commands are:

Code:

lsusb (with the CD player not connected)
lsusb (with the CD player connected)
ls -l /dev/sr* (with the CD player connected)

The results should help to understand if any problem 
Regards,
Francesco
