CD Player

[Zafacs]

Hi Eric, hi everybody,
I am very happy to know that the Kent's project is having a new life: like you I tried several time to ask for the CD Player functionality on moOde, but with no result.
Anyway I am trying to install your package but I am having problems with the point:

Code:

"sudo pip3 install -U pycdio"

Of course I tried also with a fresh 7.2.1 installation but with no results.
Could you please be so kind to try to help me?
If yes: what details do you need ?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Francesco

Dear Francesco,

I discovered after my last moode audio update that the installation of  pycdio is broken. 
Hopefully it was installed on my box, so it continues to work. I have to find exactly why it is now broken.

Cheers

Eric

Hi Eric,
the problem is , probably on the version: try with:
sudo pip3 install pycdio==2.1.0
Best regards and thanks,
Francesco

Thank you very much for all this work! If somebody is looking for the FAQ section, I think it's there: https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=1670

I installed the CD player package on a RPi 4 B with Hitachi-LG GP57EB40.
The music frequently (plm 15-20 secs) stops playing (about 5 secs) when the CD drive is making relocation sounds. Is this drive too slow? Can I change some memory setting?

Hello,
Try with the command "eject -x 2"

Even eject -x 24 does not produce the desired result.

The problem looks like this one https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/149

Sound is blocked until some other task is completed, then continues.

I have no idea how to find out which task is the culprit, or how to fix it.

The task surely is busy reading from the CD.

It seems like the problem can be solved within MPD the configuration, as in this thread (continuation from the one mentioned by you):

https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/1529

Basically, this must go in mpd.cong

Code:

input {
    plugin "cdio_paranoia"
    speed "8"
    mode "disable"
    skip "yes"
}

You can give it a try, as if your issue is constantly reproducible, this fix will show either immediate results or not at all.

Still pieces of silence.
But this is the mpd configuration.
Would CD player use these settings?

I'll post an issue on github

For what I can understand, MPD is who plays the cd, hence its configuration plays a role.
