Official moOde 8 support thread

[Tim Curtis]

The challenge for the Linux maintainers is that the OS/Kernel is used in a variety of scenarios including on unsecured networks, public networks etc and so they have to try and make it reasonably secure out of the box.

The challenge for the Linux maintainers is that the OS/Kernel is used in a variety of scenarios including on unsecured networks, public networks etc and so they have to try and make it reasonably secure out of the box.

this is quite right,
but it would be fair to keep these less secure options disabled,
so more experienced users with particular needs can enable them, assuming responsibility for the choice

Cant update...:

A new image-only release of moOde is available. Visit moodeaudio.org for more information.

A new image-only release of moOde is available. Visit moodeaudio.org for more information.

As explained in the release announcement the underlying Raspbian version has changed and this necessitates a new install.
There is not an in-place update.

You will need to download the new release, flash to your uSD card and insert to then restart your Pi.

Remember that there is a backup-restore facility within MoOde if you wish to save your settings and migrate them.

I remember that odd "only one channel" behavior with the Piano and I think if you bump the volume a couple of times either in moOde or alsamixer both channels start outputting and it stays that way. Something like that.

Just a post to inform you that Im still not able to make moOde 8.0.0 working on my system (Rpi 3b+, kali, piano 2.1).
With a fresh burned image I did a moodeutl -l after each step setting up the system.
FYI the steps with the logs.

The result was only sound from the Left speaker.
After changing severaltime the different settings only white noise was emitting from the speakers.
Trying to reset the driver to "none" did not resolve the problem and resulted only in more white noise.
Sorry for the lenghty post.

[Tim Curtis]

Try opening alsamixer and bumping the Master volume a couple of times.

The white noise issue is because the Kali reclocker does not support 24 bit format. The fix IIRC was to set SoX resampling to 32-bit

Correct... and change mode from plughw to Direct and check that both Piano dip-switches (RPI compatibility and HAT) are set to OFF.
This is what works for my Piano 2.1 & Kali with 8.

It appears that support for sec=ntlm was removed in kernel 5.15.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215375

Dmesg reports
[12896.209510] bad security option: ntlm
[12896.209526] CIFS: VFS: bad security option: ntlm

Well spotted. I gave up on using disk drives plugged into routers because of the manufacturers' refusal/inability to move beyond SMBv1. 

Phil

yes, that's the problem.
I went back to direct disk connection via usb, it is not worth it to implement a NAS just for the audio files to be played on the raspberry: cables, space occupied, greater complexity, configuration, management, energy consumption, times for switching on and off ...
much simpler and more effective a simple disk attached to the router.

I am disappointed that they have brutally removed support for ntlm;
okay that it is not safe, but what security problems can there be for a disk in a private LAN
mounted in read-only mode and without personal data stored
but only with audio files of which I still have an offline copy?

Moode should share your usb connected audio directory as an smb share which you may accomplishes something similar to your old setup. The Pi has to be online of course though.

@Tim Curtis and @DRONE7
thanks for your help, I managed to get it working finally. The issue is/was the proper way of configuring.
1. 1st boot
2. select the piano 2.1 dac --> reboot
3. select stereo (in my case) --> reboot
4. MPD settings: Sox enabled to Yes and 32 bit selected --> MPD will restart
5. glb-mclk Enabled --> reboot
6. SSH into moOde and indeed juggle the master volume. Now I had sound on the left and the  right channel
7. Volume type select NULL --> MPD will restart
8. all other settings.

The first time this procedure did not work, but in one of the logs I noticed a remark about mixer:HDMI.
For no logical reason I  made a new image of moOde 8.0.0 and edited the /boot/config.txt. In fact I removed the section [Rpi4], as I'm using a Rpi 3b+ that section has no use.
After this adjustment the above procedure worked. Coincidence or not?
I'm a happy camper now
BTW I did not change from 'plughw' to 'direct' because I want to use the graphfic equalizer to pump up the high tones. In that case "direct" will be circumvented. as per the note in moOde: "NOTE: Crossfeed, Parametric EQ and Graphic EQ output using plughw regardless of this setting"

thanks again

Hello , I think I have a bug to report . I have two Raspberry zero w with Moode . Version 7.6.1 was previously running on both of them. Have now written the one with the latest version. The Zero w also starts in AP mode , but can not longer find my router during the scan. However, routers in my neighborhood are found. The SSID of my Router is "TP-LINK_2B91 " .
My location is germany .

I have a Zero W. 
I'll test later this morning to see what the scan reports in AP mode and whether it finds my Router.

No problem on Zero W listing my 2GHz SSID after a scan. 

On a 3B+ the scan lists both my 2GHz SSID and 5GHz SSID.

Problem solved ! It was actually my router. Since here in Germany the wifi networks are jostling in the lower channels, I switched to channel 12 and had it to myself. This setting worked fine in previous versions of Moode as well. I am currently using channel 8 and my router is found by Moode 8.0.0. I assume that it is due to the new operating system substructure (→ Raspberry Pi OS Lite 11.2).

I don't know what's changed in between releases, but here's what I think is happening. 

There is a regulatory-domain code stored in the kernel. Out of the box, a moOde 8 player here says the value is

Code:

pi@m8zero2w:~ $ iw reg get
global
country US: DFS-FCC
    (2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
    (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), AUTO-BW
    (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
    (5470 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS
    (5730 - 5850 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
    (57240 - 71000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)

phy#0
country 99: DFS-UNSET
    (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (6, 20), (N/A)
    (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), (N/A)
    (5140 - 5360 @ 160), (6, 20), (N/A)
    (5460 - 5860 @ 160), (6, 20), (N/A)

In s quick test, this value  doesn't seem to be affected by changing the country (code) in moOde's WiFi settings to, say, Germany (DE). This latter is the value which will be used by the wpa_supplicant code which connects to an existing access point.

Continuing with the Germany setting as an example, my finding suggests to me we could have the situation where moOde is able to connect to access points in the channel range permitted in Germany (1-14*) but will scan for APs only in the channel range permitted in the US. 

*As hinted by Lukesan, the RPi doesn't appear to support channel 14.

@Tim Curtis

Assuming I haven't missed something here, it would seem moOde should use the country set in WiFi Configuration to update the internal regulatory domain code. Quoting from the iw man page

Code:

    reg get
        Print out the kernel's current regulatory domain information.

    reg set <ISO/IEC 3166-1 alpha2>
        Notify the kernel about the current regulatory domain.

By the by, supposedly the file /etc/default/crda contains  a setting REGDOMAIN for iw to use as the initial regulatory domain but in both Raspberry Pi OS and my Linux Mint laptop the value of REGDOMAIN is blank. The kernel must be getting it from somewhere.?.?.

Kent
