[SOLVED] Add UPnP Music Source

[Onionhead]

Since moOde 5.0 been unsuccessful determining the root cause let alone solution for the frequent but inconsistent mpdignore error when adding an NFS music source ( Synology NAS DSM v 6.2). Just wondering with moOde 6.0 there is a possibility to overcome the above problem using UPnP? Has anyone used the UPnP feature in 6.0?  On the NAS there are a few available packages Plex, Media Server, and MinimServer would any of one of the these likely work with moOde 6.0?

Solved using code see posts #32 and  #33. Thank TC

Hi,

I was more or less wondering the same. 
For my main system I am still using a moode 4.4 with djmount to mount upnp sources.
This works well.
I saw as well taht upnp is supported in version 6.
I downloaded a copy of moodeaudio 6.1 and installed it on a test machine.

However when choosing upnp as source, I can not type in the box to give the name/location, and the scan button doesn't seem to give any results (the list stays empty).

How is this supposed to work please?

Too fast (or maybe: the scan is too slow  ).
Pressing the "scan button" indeed finds the upnp available in the network. Just select the unpn source, save and you are done. This seems to be the easiest way to add a source.

Will now test the sound quality.

thank you,

Right, I had this working once.
The scan actually found my upnp source, and it played well.
However, on a reinstall, I can not get moode to find any upnp sources on scan.
How odes this work/how can I get it to find any source?
I saw that when it worked, moode used djmount. When i could not get any source, it seemed like the system also never made a call to djmount?

Verify the UPnP Media Browser is turned on. The setting in the UPnP/FLNA section of Audio Config.

Thank you Tim, that indeed made a difference.
However: after doing that, adding my upnp source, and updating the library, I rebooted.
Now, moode is not there anymore.
On ssh I can get in, ngnix seems to be running and so does php, but moode (as website and locally on a local screen), s no longer available.
This seems reproducable; it happened to me the first time as well (hence the reinstall).
Is there any way to recover the moode site/frontend?

[one hour later]
It is now about an hour later, and I was actually out for an ice cream, leaving the raspberry on.
now everything is working again? I rebooted as a test, and it boots up immediately including the web service.
Could it be that setting upnp makes something fall into a time-out somewhere which causes this?

If it fails again try ssh and then post the moode log

Code:

moodeutl -l

@ Hendrik-Jan

Ok I will be a little more patient. Hope this works as I have been unable to move from v 4.4 due to the NAS .mpdignore errors.

@Onionhead :

Everything seems to work fine now.
I updated a system that was on moode 4.4 with added scripts for upnp sources, local touch screen and soft-on/off button (and various other updates and small mods)
The transition to moode 6.1 was fairly smooth. Besides install and config, I only needed to add some radio stations, add the soft on/off scripts. I omited the onscreen keyboard chrome extension, as moode now allows you to jump through the music list .

All seems very smooth and sounds good.

as far as I can see, if you are using UPNP sources, you can use this release.

cheers,

Hendrik-Jan

@Tim,

I found why it took so long before the GUI was available:
I had switched the Pi to WiFi and had the setting wait for IP on ETH0 in moode set to "on", this caused moode to delay the start of the web service.

thank you for your support!
