Hi good people… just looking for some feedback …
I have a couple of Raspberry Pi 3 with audio amp outputs (one has a touchscreen as well).
They’re currently running Volumio (v2) which we can control remotely with our phones, but that software is old, insecure, and could really do with an update…
Volumio (v4) doesn’t inspire me much, plus, it’s good to check out the alternatives.
So, I’m looking at replacing the local-audio playback with perhaps Moode … or maybe piCorePlayer and perhaps adding Navidrome for remote access??
I’d need to be able to play radio streams too, with a sleep timer / wakeup function, so not sure if that’s a deal breaker (it’s hard to find these features on their websites)
Any alternatives that others can suggest (rAudio?) or other feedback?
Or am I ahead of the curve and I have found the Best Solution™️?
TIA
I recently did a rpi media player project and tried volumio, picoreplayer, moode, and others. I ultimately settled on installing android from konstakang.com. It was so much easier to set up imo for my use case, which was a focus on local music playback and keeping the files sync’d via my LAN. It even supported my hat DAC and my remote control.
Playing around with it today, I’ve found Moode works fine…except for the 3.5" touchscreen… it literally turns off the power to the screen (which is showing a CLI login prompt) when I enable the WebUI.
Notneven heard of konstakang, so I’ll check it out.
