Simple, elegant and sufficient

I was looking for an attractive and intuitive control point for OpenHome streaming and was glad to find this app met my needs. Thanks to recent bug fixes, Rigelian now meets my needs and wants as a daily driver for music enjoyment. I like its UI design and that it is actively developed and improves over time. The only feature that I currently miss is Tidal integration, which I understand is no trivial task.

Good for Bryston streamers

Great app but some bugs need fixing. Repeat function does not work on tracks when selected from playlist. Pressing back button skips to previous track instead of restarting the current track. Internet radio track info does not refresh if player was minimized.

ios18 Widget

ios 18 has stopped supporting old widget,you need create new Widget

Fantastic app. One question about http streaming

I’m having trouble playing audio locally on my device. I’m only able to specify the http host and port, while I was able to get this working in another app using only the host and port, I am unable to figure out how to get mpd to play within this app using only those two fields. I believe I may need to include the filetype (possibly the specified mount point) within the url; e.g., http://192.168.1.247:8000/mpd.ogg (or .mp3).

If I do not, could you point me in the right direction to figure this out?

I tried enabling ‘connect to IP’ in the settings, also didn’t work. I have configured both mp3 and ogg encodings to try and debug this, but cannot.

Thank you

Response from developer

Rigelian only supports streaming mp3 format encoded by mpd via lame. Here are settings from /etc/mpd.conf that are working: audio_output { type "httpd" name "My HTTP Stream" encoder "lame" # optional, vorbis or lame port "8000" bind_to_address "0.0.0.0" # optional, IPv4 or IPv6 ## quality "5.0" # do not define if bitrate is defined bitrate "192" # do not define if quality is defined format "44100:16:1" max_clients "0" # optional 0=no limit }

Openhome

A great app. I thank the author for the quick response to the appeals.

Openhome

In the latest version, openhome stopped connecting to me. Before that, everything worked stably.

Amazing UI for MPD

This app has great MPD support. I use it to connect to my self-hosted MPD server and it’s great that it also supports outputting my MPD http stream audio directly to my iPhone. The UI is very nice and feels as polished as a consumer app like Spotify. Keep up the great work!!

3.0.0 is crashing upon opening on my iPhone.

Thank god it is working on my iPad.

Update! It is not working with my iPad either…

Update #2: Removed the app completely and reinstalled, back working!

Fantastic potential

Love the potential of the app! Hope there can be implemented some extras like Qobuz, Tidal, etc… integration via UPnP. I’m having some issues with the experimental UPnP features(but that’s understandable for now), for instance, if I modify the volume it’s working fine, but the Moode web interface won’t recognise the change, even after restart. I’ve changed the mode from UPnP A/V to OpenHome protocol, otherwise won’t work at all. Keep up the good work!

Perfect client for a headless MPD server.

Solid app with a clean, native UI, that’s well laid out / nicely designed. Does everything you’d expect and works flawlessly with my headless MPD sever.

Happy to pay a few quid a year if it keeps this app going.
