Beginner questions

[Tim Curtis]

Hi,

After having played around with Moode for a few days I must say I‘m very impressed with its functionality and would love to make it my standard player (I’ve been using PiCorePlayer so far).

But during my experiments the following questions popped up and I haven‘t found the answers (might be that I‘m searching in the wrong places):

• Can I use the DSP functionality (e.g. CamillaDSP) with Squeezelite?
  
• Can I use REW filter configurations in CamillaDSP?
  
• I have a Topping E70. Can I somehow control its hardware volume through Moode Player?
  
• Is it possible to parse an iTunes-Playlist?
  
• When turning on the player I want it to play the local radio station. How can I configure that?
  
• Is it possible to store playlists on network volumes? Where can I find a description?
  
• Does Moode player have an API to control it? Where can I find the documentation?
  

Sorry for all the questions, and if it helps I can split them up in different threads…

Cheers, Joe

1. Can I use the DSP functionality (e.g. CamillaDSP) with Squeezelite?
Yes but you have to do it by editing Squeezelite settings and specify "camilladsp" as the output device in the Other options field. I don't recall what the device arg is but it would be listed in squeezelite --help

2. Can I use REW filter configurations in CamillaDSP?
Yes. I think there is info on how to do this in the diyAudio CamillaDSP thread or maybe even in our Forum.

3. I have a Topping E70. Can I somehow control its hardware volume through Moode Player?
Yes if  "Hardware" is listed in Audio Config, Volume type but this is the internal hardware volume controller of either the USB chipset or DAC chip. It's not the physical volume knob on the DAC.

4. Is it possible to parse an iTunes-Playlist?
No

5. When turning on the player I want it to play the local radio station. How can I configure that?
In Audio Config turn on Autoplay after start. The last played item will be played.

6. Is it possible to store playlists on network volumes? Where can I find a description?
Probably by hacking a symlink to the /var/lib/mpd/playlists

7. Does Moode player have an API to control it? Where can I find the documentation?
The Setup Guide contains information on the API.
