moOde 5.0 Release Candidate RC1

[Tim Curtis]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the report :-) It provides more evidence that MPD 0.21.y series should probably be considered "test" and optional at this point within the context of moOde.

Auto-shuffle works fine for me with 30k tracks and MPD 0.21.6.
Edit: Oops, that's actually with RC0. Haven't tested with RC1 yet.

I would expect u would get same result since ashuffle and mpd binary is same for RC0 and RC1.

I'm still planning on including 0.21.y as an option in the production release of moOde 5 :-)

I also switched back to 0.20.20 because of an very short interruption at the beginning of some songs.
When using the 0.21 series I had a break in the music for less than half a second in some songs, not all of them, and it was with both MP3's as FLAC's. And it was always after about 4-5 seconds of playing a new song, that the interruption happened. But I could not lay my finger on it, I couldn't reproduce the problem. It was really at random.
Switched back to 0.20.20....problem gone....

Hi,

Thanks for reporting that :-) It appears to be a bug in MPD 0.21 series.
https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/469

Stick with 0.20.20 for the time being until MPD maintainer fixes the bug. If the bug is not fixed before moOde 5 production release then I may revert to 0.20.20 as the default version of MPD for moOde 5 and leave 0.21.y as an option.

Tim, thanks for the prompt response, great work!

Been there, done that, didn't help. Only going back to 0.20.20 fixed it...
But thanks for trying to help

I'll try that too! I figured it might be a power or network issue, hadn't considered it might be the new version of MPD.

After installing RC1 how can I change back to mpd 0.20.20?
