Upcoming moOde 8.2.0 release (Q3)

[Tim Curtis]

Hi,

Here are WIP release notes for upcoming moOde 8.2.0 release (Q3).  Some of the new feature candidates include the following:

1. NFS Server
In System Config turn ON/OFF and configure Samba server, NFS server or both.

2. Router mode
In Network Config under the Access Point (AP) section turn ON/OFF Router mode which allows WiFi and Ethernet connection to be bridged.

3. Custom Library views

Thank you for adding this!

Does 'Router Mode' mean I can have the files come in over wifi and out through ethernet?

[Tim Curtis]

Router mode specifically bridges AP mode WiFi to Ethernet.

Here's updated WIP release notes.

The new File sharing feature in System Config allows sharing files via NFS , SMB (Samba), both or neither. Generally in an all Pi/Linux network NFS is the best choice. USB storage devices auto-mount as usual and update both the SMB config in etc/samba/smb.conf and the NFS config in /etc/exports.

Hi , Tim

What are the differences between 64 bit and legacy version? Is there any difference in sound quality?

I'm using Pi 3 B+, which one do you think would be better?

[Tim Curtis]

I can't comment on SQ because thats such a personal experience but here is the official news regarding Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspber...os-64-bit/ and the wording used to label the Operating Systems on the official download page https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

Our project just follows the same wording: "64-bit" and "Legacy".

Here are WIP release notes for upcoming 8.2.0 release (Q3).

Another nice new feature is complete, AP Router mode  :-)

   

AP Router mode forwards packets between the WLAN and Ethernet interfaces allowing moOde to function as a simple WiFi Router.
