MPoD v1.3.1 available for download
MPoD version 1.3.1 is available in the AppStore. This version ensures that cover art will still work after August 15, and has some small improvements:
- finer grained volume controls;
- enabling/disabling of configured mpd outputs;
- displaying the filename when the title tag is missing;
- MPoD can detect when the mpd database has changed and reload its cache;
- bugfixes in connection settings screen.
Hi Berrie,
Can you please email me and we are interested in donate for ipod and also looking for some change as well.
Thanks,
Adrian
How can i easyly revert to the previous v1.3.0 (because of streaming problem)?
I don’t know how to do that, but it looks like Joey below is able to do it. Maybe he can post instructions?
Well I’ve had some problems before with other apps. So I started a simple method upgrade on the device and keep itunes apps unsynced untill you are sure it works. I do have the .ipa of the 3.0 version (I can send it to you) . maybe you can delete 3.1 and manually install into itunes lib. not sure if that is possible… though
@Berrie: could you please forward my email adress to Joey, so that he can send me the v1.3.
Many Thanks.
Hi,
There seems to be a problem when using the builtin streaming option
my mpd server gets “unexpected input from client”
this started happening since the last update
other client’s seem to work fine, so did anything change in the settings?
I didn’t touch the streaming area for this version, so I’d be very surprised if anything broke there (beyond what may not have been working well in the first place). The streaming has some quirks, and I’m thinking of moving to the built-in player that is available in SDK 3.0.
I think i’m behind the problem… i used to stream vorbis, but the new version seems to crash over it, switchin to lame makes a difference. But now it seems like the ipod takes over Mpod, and starts streaming in quicktime. the quality is very bad… when i stop it returns to Mpod with an empty playlist.
Oops, I made a mistake in the versioning process. As said, I did a bit of experimenting with the built-in quicktime player, but that wasn’t supposed to go into the release. I forgot to take it out in the release.
The only supported streaming format so far (in both 1.3 and 1.3.1) is mp3.
I can confirm this, reverting to previous version with untouched config fixed the problems
In what way is the quality with the quicktime player worse? When I just tried it is sounds at least as good as the original streaming.
And what kind of output do you stream to MPoD? I’m confused by your mentioning of vorbis, because that is not supposed to work (I don’t mind if it does, but I thought the code I used was mp3 only).
Was my mistake I reverted them just for testing earlier on
Current settings working on 1.3 failing on 1.3.1
encoder: lame
bitrate: 128
format: 44100:16:2
the quality is really ugly, with a lot of noise that should not be there, i’ve also tested with simultaneous outputs, my stereo plays without any quality problems
You rock!
That bounty is yours.
Hey,
could you please support large libraries in a future version? The MPD protocol also allows it to only search on a remote server without loading the whole library. This would be also an improvement if you’re using a mpd library that doesn’t support large libraries.
Kind regards,
John
My priority right now is with some other development, therefor support for large libraries will not be arriving anytime soon. On the bright side, I have developed a few ideas how to improve the handling of those large libraries.
