I've enjoyed using moOde for two years plus. Even more after I started listening to high definition tracks. A big thank you to Tim and the team for this awesome software!
With moOde, I use an IOS remote control app for MPD called Soundirok, that I have understood requires three things:
1) That Music Player Daemon plays the music. This is a breeze as moOde uses MPD to play music.
2) That the MPD server has a fixed IP address. Trivial, since moOde allows me to configure "static ip_address" in /etc/dhcpcd.conf.
3) That Soundirok can access cover art through a link to the root of the music library. Unfortunately, this broke a while ago.
I had followed advice from this thread. In particular inserting a line in the file /var/www/command/worker.php
under the comment "// Ensure certain files exist". The line creates a symbolic link to the music library that can be picked up by Soundirok.
It seems to work fine, but after a while the link is removed. Presumably by a maintenance routine in moOde. After that point Soundirok can't read and display the beautiful album art that I meticulously put into folders.
I hope someone with more knowledge than me will please offer advice.
