Hi, I tried to use squeezelite as a replacement for MPD, but didn't get same sound quality. It is definitely bitperfect but plays with some unfocused soundstage - may be it has problems with timing on single core processor. If you still want to use it I suggest to study command line arguments and run it from MM startup script with any possible settings including player name. This gives you one more advantage -  you can use latest squeezelite version 1.8 while MM includes old one (1.5 or 1.6 - don't remember exactly).

I recently purchased a used BDP-3 and use squeezelite.  Would it be possible for you to share how you installed the latest version of squeezelite and how you set some of the parameters?

Thanks,
Chris

wow, having been gone for some time, I now revisit and see there's a 3 year gap in this thread...???



Yet, I am still using my BDP-1 and am on Manic Moose so, seems still the correct thread here.


And, even worse: on my iPhone, none of the buttons show, and the interface is really impossible to use, as if it doesnt load completely. Tried refreshing, restarting the web page, even restarted the iPhone (and yes also the BDP1)

 
could it be some issue with the latest iOS updates maybe?

cheers,
Marius




still experiencing all of the above, on latest firmware...


would love to get my player controls back on the iPhone, is here any hope we will ever see them?
Currently, its no use and since its the only true remote system....

Just a guess….did you try tapping the “Launch Media Player” button?

Just trying to help.

Sure, andd that is always appreciated.


Though as a long standing user of the Bryston devices, I am aware how to play my library using the non-app webbrowser interface.
It is not longer showing a useful frontend on iOS devices, and that is a real let down.


let me post a slightly bigger overview of that Media player interface:
 




I did have a look for on-phone set security measures that might prevent image downloads, but I didn't find any that I could link to the Bryston interface yet.
If anyone might have a lead on that?


Seems that turning on 'materiaalblokkeringen' in the safari settings (which is an 'all websites' setting) influences this, and turning it off does help.


Maybe we are better off using another browser for the BDP interface?


Fwiw, I did try to do so with a Chrome browser window, which in the App shows all images correctly. However, when trying to save that on the Home Screen as an icon, all images turn into the squared placeholders once again... arrggh
thx,
Marius

Will OS3 use upmpdcli as indicated in another thread?

Rigelian supports upmpdcli with Qobuz since version 3.0, and looking at the number of requests I get from Bryston users for support for streaming services it would make some people happy.

When the new operating system comes out to replace Manic Moose, can one opt to just keep Manic Moose? I personally have no interest in a new operating system as I only want to play music which I am doing now. I could care less about any fancy interface as I never look at the existing one except to load music.

Hi - yes as I understand it you will be able to use either.

Thank you. I am so Happy. I'm using it now. I just loaded music I've had for years but never listened to it. I was so happy the process was direct and simple. Once loaded, the interface didn't exist as I was listening to music.  :D 8)

You have my sincere empathy. With the kind of complaints I've heard about Manic Mosse, you'd have to pay me extra to accommodate.
