Moode Audio

This here:

"Enter these commands via SSH on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

1. Download the Image Builder

cd /home/pi sudo wget -q

1. Start the Image Builder

sudo ./mosbuild.sh"

...sounds pretty straightforward to me. It didn't work?

I have no idea. Things happened for a while. Were they the right things? Who knows? Then they stoppped happening, and there was absolutely no indication whatsoever what to do next. How to launch, configure, use it? A mystery.

the script does the following: (from the shellscript itself):

echo "****************************************************************" echo "**" echo "** Moode OS Image Builder $VER" echo "**" echo "** Welcome to the automated process for creating the wonderful" echo "** custom Linux OS that runs moOde audio player." echo "**" echo "** You will need a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian with SSH" echo "** enabled, at least 2.5GB free space on the boot SDCard and" echo "** a spare USB or USB-SDCard drive that the new OS will be" echo "** written to during the build process." echo "**" echo "** Be sure to backup the SDCard used to boot your Pi"

that is, you need 1) a pi with raspbian. 2)enough space on the boot sd.

after run the shellscript (it tests if the usb drive is there, loads a raspbian, configures the ethernet and asks for configuration and plugins) you have a usb drive from which you boot your new rpi.

the script says: echo "**" echo "** New base OS image created" echo "**" echo "** Remove the USB drive and use it to boot a Raspberry Pi" echo "** The build will automatically continue at STEP 2 after boot" **********************************************************************

I myself didnt do this, because my pi runs osmc. But I have looked inside the script and told you what it does. Hope I could make it clearer....

That says it's audiophool-quality, so not intended for normal people.

Yup, done that. Then I boot up a Pi with the newly built image... and what?

There's a login prompt. No readily findable username/password is advertised, though I eventually discovered it's pi/moodeaudio.

I'm assuming at this point that something has gone wrong, and that if it had all worked correctly, that there'd be a web server running at its IP address, or even a local GUI up and running.

Of course even well-written, carefully designed software sometimes fails, because the real world is a complex place. But software that comes without even the most basic indication of what you could expect to happen is throwing up some pretty high barriers to new users!
