Good evening from hot Spain.

Hi.

Let me shortly introduce myself, I am by heart a programmer and have been since I wrote my first assembler program in 1977. I am on GitHub with the same user, where I help manage a couple of projects.

I changed from Volumio to moode audio a short while ago, because I could not make the changes I need in Volumio.

I like moode audio, but it lacks a couple of features (or more correctly I have not been able to find them), if they really are missing my intention is to provide them in a couple of pull requests.

The features I lack are as follows:
- Be able to play music via the web browser. When at home, I have my iPad with my earbuds, and want to be able to listen to my music with my playlists...seems like a fairly easy job.
- Be able to select my iPad or Mac mini and play to it from the moode audio server using airplay 2 (or 1).

It is actually 2 sides of the same story....but I am no stranger to php and js (even though I prefer C/C++ and python), so let's see if I can get a grip of the architecture used, sadly the development documentation is not a rich as I would like (what surprise).

Apart from that I am semi-retired and spent a lot of time helping FOSS projects. I live in Granada, Spain but I am a pure Viking.

Have a nice evening.
Jan I.

Ps. If anyone can give me ideas/pointers or anything else helpful to solve my problems I am grateful.

You can play on http. That is: you tell moOde to play something, and it will stream it on http, at mp3 or flac quality.
You have to enable the http renderer in the configuration, of course.

Implies 2 browser tabs, though:
one with the moOde UI to select the music to play. and one pointing at the http port to listen to the stream. I do this almost every night.
