PeppyMeter and moOde

[raspiter]

Reading better,

is moOde able to play the very same files IF you play them WITHOUT PeppyMeters? Or are you just mean ("that kind of files") that moOde can usually play .m4a files?
According to what Francesco is saying, the stream is kind of doubled: one copy is for MPD to play, and the other is for PeppyMeters to read and display.
Apart from timing conflicts, the only thing that comes to mind is some sort of DRM on the files, which Alsa observes, and limits MPD in its playback...

It could also be interesting to examine at byte-level the original file and the converted one... just for curiosity.

Hi again,
yes Moode - without PeppyMeters - is able to play the very same file that gives an error when played on Moode WITH PeppyMeters. And this happens with ALL iTunes purchased files. So it could ba a sort of DRM limitation but only observed by Alsa and not by Moode itself….
