[PROBLEM] Autostart Radiostation empty

[traillight]

Hi,
i am new to Moode but i love it.

Sadly i have a problem that i cant fix, i turn on and off the Raspi where moode is running with a wireless powerplug.
I activated the Autostart after Boot but moode lost the radiostation which was played last time and so it cant autostart playing.

Is there a way i can fix that, maybe set a fixed station which ist played every time the Pi boots?
So its not necessary for mpd to remember the last station or something...

thx

Post the Moode log after powering up and experiencing the issue and I'll have a look.

Code:

moodeutl -l

Hi Tim,

The log entry below suggests MPD state file did not get written to disk by MPD before power was cut. You prolly need to use one of the smart power off boards that would let you do a software shutdown first b4 cutting the mains.

Code:

20200505 133812 worker: Auto-playing id ()

moOde uses the MPD status element 'songid' which represents the last played item in the Playlist.

Try the commands below to see whether songid exists in MPD state.

Code:

telnet localhost 6600
status

[traillight]

Thats what status is telling me:

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ mpc status
volume: 30%   repeat: off   random: off   single: off   consume: off
pi@moode:~ $ mpc status
Roots Legacy Radio Dub UK & Reggae: Marion - Strings Of Zion
[playing] #1/1   0:06/0:00 (0%)
volume: 30%   repeat: off   random: off   single: off   consume: off
pi@moode:~ $

First status was after Boot, second after i choose a Radiostation over Webinterface.

You dont have an idea how i can manage that without use soft shutdown?

Pi is in cellar an i Controll it over a ESP8266 on Terrasse, i have programmed a button witch switch the status of a wireless plug so that pi and AMP in cellar is powerd off.

@traillight

So the ESP8266 is a WiFi+microcontroller chip with a full TCP/IP stack, right? To a first approximation, so is the RPi.

Couldn't you rethink your system in the following way?

 - Let the moOde player command the plug to turn off as the final step in moOde's "Shutdown" function.
 - use the ESP8266 to command the plug to turn on.

Just a thought.

Hi OldPresbyope,
at first, yes it is.

To your suggestion:
I think its not possible to let the RPI control de plug because itself is powered by the plug?
Or is there a way to tell the PRI the last action to make is to power of the plug, only thing which is important is to power off the plug after mpd has finish his shutdown.

That would be the great

otherwise i have to recode the Sketch on the ESP so it first send the shutdown cmd in first step to the RPI an constantly Ping it , if there is no response send CMD to the Wireless Plug to power off in second step.
Thats a lot more work so i would prefer your option
