Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm)

[wadada]

@nullstring there's a reasonably stable ~pre2 package in the repo if you want to try it out.

Code:

1. Boot a Bookworm Lite image
2. sudo apt update && apt list --upgradable
3. sudo apt -y upgrade
4. sudo reboot

5 Install links to Cloudsmith repo
curl -1sLf \
'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/moodeaudio/m8y/setup.deb.sh' \
| sudo -E distro=raspbian codename=bookworm bash

6. sudo apt -y install moode-player=9.0.0-1moode1~pre2
7. sudo reboot

After installing the package and rebooting, the system will auto-reboot again after importing the managed config.txt file.

Works great so far. First I could not enter the Configure/System Page (locale DE error in FF console). Then I figured that the WIFI Password I entered in the RPI Imager was used for the SMB library password...!? After I cleared that Password the Configure/System Page loads fine...

Some anlke-biter anomalies in the System Information report

Test rig: a Pi5 with  a clean install to a USB thumbdrive of Bookworm and the "updated ~pre2 package in the repo that include a fix to the Backup/Restore feature"

Booting from the USB thumbdrive and basic configuring proceeded without issue.

Rebooted and invoked  moodeutl -s

Most of the items in the report make sense but the following items not so much.

Code:

SDCard freq        =  MHz
USB boot        = not available

Well, OK, there is no SDCard present so I suppose "[blank] Mhz" isn't exactly wrong but USB boot is certainly available; I just executed it. Indeed, worker reports USB boot is enabled.

Code:

Pi integrated WiFi    = None
Pi integrated BT    = None

Well, no, the integrated WiFi and BT subsystems are present on the Pi5 and enabled.

Code:

Hostapd version        = ine

Oops.

Sorry I haven't been able to put in more time testing this release recently but life has been, er, "interesting".

Kent

Very odd. I'm not sure I'll be able to repro.

[Tim Curtis]

Just a HEADS UP about the ~pre packages.

Any ~preN package in our repo is strictly a work in progress and not stable code. You might experience breakage for example full volume, volume not working, audio output not working, features not working, etc.

ALWAYS have a down stream volume control and keep it at a low level!

Btw, please report the audio device you are using.

Maybe the reboot fixed it...
One more topic. My 9.0 Moode player does find all my 8.3.9 moode players in the network. But my 8.3.9 players can't find the 9.0 moode player. They only find the other 8.3.9 players. Not sure that is of any importance. Or maybe a feature ;-)

[Tim Curtis]

@wadada , your observation about player discovery (via >> Players) is correct.There would need to be a modification of 8.3.9 code to fix that but we don't have the manpower to maintain both the 839 and 900 code bases.

[Tim Curtis]

After some testing it looks like certain I2S drivers don't seem to work on Pi5 Bookworm for example i-sabre-q2m for the Audiophonics 9038 DAC. IIRC there are also some hifiberry drivers that don't work.

ETA: Here are the named I2S devices that were removed mostly because they are redundant to one of the Generic I2S selections or very likely not be in use anymore.

Hi Tim - I currently use 2 different Hat Dac/Amps on the r900 list - the Merus one and the Justboom one.  Both of these (when selected with the named drop down list) provide "Chip Options" - for example on the Merus one, they are power management profiles that can impact sound quality depending on the usage scenario, and also include profiles to select the type of loudspeaker in use.  The question is - how will I be able to access these in the new version of Moode if the named option has gone and just generic options remain?
Regards Adrian

[Tim Curtis]

@adrian311 both your devices are in the named list so you are all set.

Keep in mind that audio devices that use the Generic I2S drivers (i2s-dac or hifiberry-dac) don't expose chip options anyway.

The only devices on the "Removed" list that supported chip options are listed below:

Dion Audio LOCO
PlainAMP
PlainDAC
PlainDAC+
PlainDSP
