[IDEA] Play a sound at Moode startup

[Tim Curtis]

Agree. No need to fight.

Not my intention at all. You asked a question about using aplay for the startup sound and I'm simply providing useful info on what has to be considered if you want to use it in moode.

Peace.

This work fine it is just outside the moode worl.

Interesting... if that script also took care of the tracks supposed to be played automatically at moOde startup (save them, play the chimes, then restore and play), could have indeed been used with an interface to configure it...
If, OTOH, like me, you wake moOde to just chose an album and play it, then your solution is brilliant.

in a bash script - first check if Song-file-server is available

and then

mpc clear
mpc load NewModelArmy
mpc play
mpc next
mpc crop
mpc rm NewModelArmy
sleep 2
mpc volume 16
mpc listall | grep NAS | grep -E '(New Model Army|Justin)' | shuf -n 18 | mpc insert
mpc save NewModelArmy
mpc play

at the end you could start to play the playlist
Or you just start it like you would start the favorites



Nice would be - move this 18 Song to the USB Stick or the SD Card of Moode itself (fist delete the old file than move the new selected)
