Using Moode/RPI4 when on vacation

[Tim Curtis]

Yes, you can output to an external device via Bluetooth. No, you can't output via AirPlay.

Once you've turned on the Bluetooth controller (on the Renderers page) click on "Open Bluetooth control". On the page which opens up, first go through the scan/pair/connect process to get connected with your external device. Then, on the same page under "Audio output", change from "Local audio" to "Bluetooth speaker".

I'm listening to moOde via a JBL BT speaker as I write this.

Thanks to both of you for your help. I am trying the bluetooth now. At the moment I can pair my Arcam miniBlink but the Sonos Roam fails. However I connect to the Arcam, change the ourtput to bluetooth speaker but I get no sound. I have a Hifiberry Digi+ Pro as the output device under Audio. Do I need to change these setting too? I tried making I2S device none but that did not work. Thanks!

Just to add if I am playing a radio via the Hifiberry HAT audio output and setup a Arcam mBlink to my bluetooth speaker as soon as a hit connect to Arcam the sound ends. If I disconnect from the bluetooth the radio sound returns. I cannot find a setting that fixes this.

What version of moOde are you using?

1. Try increasing the volume on the speaker itself.
2. In Audio Config there is a "Resume MPD" setting that controls whether MPD resumes playback after Bluetooth disconnects.
3. Post a screen shot of the Bluetooth Control screen after connecting to the Sonos speaker.
