Not sure how you do this in Filezilla but make the session SCP and change your shell so SUDO SU as in the above post for WINSCP.
It has nothing to do with moode, that's a Linux issue which you can resolve by learning about your OS.
Moode doesn't do anything exotic to Jessie. If you are getting permission denied errors, it's because you aren't using the correct permissions.
If you are advanced enough to be using sftp, you should be able to resolve your permissions.
You can shutdown using the Moode UI - top-right-hand command menu > restart> shutdown
But, why bother turning it off? It uses so few mA of power when not processing. Mine are on 24/7.

Less than perfectly...
I can schedule airplay sessions, adjust volume, etc, but when complete, it resets my ALSA volume setting back to 100%, which isn't a deal-breaker, but is a PITA.
The Moode 'master' volume stays the same, so it's not like my volume has been maxed, but the volume scale with alsa set at 100% means that 30% volume is too high for comfortable listening, a volume level that would be around 60% on an IQAudio Amp+ with logarithmic volume control. So the easy solution is to set alsa to 90% and then the volume scale more approximates the 'throw' to level that I want, but after each airplay session, this is being reset.
Simple answer, bitch to hifiberry and use an IQ audio amp 🙂

Hi Mike,
Look at /var/www/command/spspost.sh
For audio devices that handle volume correctly with shairport-sync there is some logic that resets ALSA volume to correct value (100%) for MPD after Airplay session ends.

I just updated to Moode 3.1 and started using the advanced audio kernel, wow what a difference! Currently using a DIYINHK PCM5102A DAC via I2S and the sound quality increase from 2.7 to 3.1 using the advanced kernel was amazing. Thanks Tim for all the hard work you put into this. 🙂
I did have a suggestion for when you're searching songs in the library, would it be possible to make it so you can double click on the song and it plays rather than having to select the drop down menu and click play? Use the drop down for adding it to the queue or clearing the queue and playing the song, but for just playing a single song from a album track list it's much easier to double click on it. That's the only thing I miss coming from Volumio, everything else has been much better.

I using moode 3.1 advanced kernel and amanero usb. I disable dop but i can not play native dsd. I try different usb audio in moode customize, still cannot play dsd jg convert to pcm

Hi,
More info needed in order to troubleshoot.
- What do u mean by native DSD?
- Moode Adv kernel and MPD support DSF/DFF files in DSD64 or DSD128 format.
- Have u tried the USB (UAC2) fix setting on System config?
- Are u hearing no sound or distorted sound?
-Tim
Anyone have some advice on resampling???
Cheers Dave

- native dsd - amanero out indicator will be dsd, from audio info it convert from dsd to pcm.
- already tried usb uac2 fix
- sound normal.
- previous moode (2.6) run ok
- will try standar kernel
If you don't resample, Moode will play in the 'native' format of your audio file.
If you do, resampling to a higher rate is more than just stuffing more samples between existing samples. Good resampling methods (such as with Sox high quality) will attempt to predict the original sound between the inter-sample gap correctly and insert new samples based on the prediction.
A simple method to upsample from 44.1KHz to 88.2KHz can use simple averages of two consecutive samples. In each two consecutive sameples, it will insert average values of the two consecutive sample values. More advanced methods (such as Sox) uses complex regression functions to predict the original inter-sample values.
Depending on which Pi and DAC you have, it's almost a no-brainer. On a Pi3 with a 24-bit FLAC file at 44.1KHz and an I2S attached HAT DAC, resamplig to 32-bit/352.8KHz uses negligible resources, something of the order of a few percent. Given that you have good kit, whack it up to the highest setting and monitor it and see if you notice a difference. I don't think there's any hard-and-fast rules, if you notice an improvement, excellent. If you don't but it doesn't impact performance, nothing lost.
Resampling a 16-bit MP3 will use more resources, but still well inside the capability envelope of the Pi3. I've found that it stresses the Pi 1 too much, though, to the extent it drops audio. Other variables will include whether you use I2S or USB.
The most noticeable results will be with lower-quality source material, such as low-rate MP3s. You may not be able to tell at all with a lossless file. Or, it could all be in your head, in the same way expensive power cables and speaker wire improves things, if you believe it does. Me, I leave it turned on because it doesn't impact performance and should, in theory, improve audio quality, but my motorcycle-helmet-buggered ears can't really tell the difference, at least i don't think they can 🙂
The easiest way to see whether it works for you is to suck it and see, in Kiwi parlance.
SoX's project page has a lot of information.
SoX - Sound eXchange | Resampling
For low and mid frequency sound, resampling will generally produce improved sound. However, it has been said that resampling high frequency sound can result in distortion and dampening. If distortion in high frequency sound does not affect overall sound negatively, you get improved sound from resampling.
For me, I doubt my equipment or my ears can tell the difference, but then I haven't really had time to sit still long enough for back-to-back subjective testing. My use of Moode is not for the 'audiophile' experience so much as the features, such as wireless streaming, utilising a central music server, multi-room, internet radio, etc.
Your mileage may vary.

Thanks Zootalaws. That explains a lot, appreciated.
Ok then what do you use for your Audiophile listening?
Once again thanks.

Linn/B&W/Q-Acoustics speakers, but I've got fucktonnes of speakers, of various types and vintages. I make/upcycle speakers and other audio devices, such as vintage radios.
I don't really do 'audiophile' - my gear is connected using Tru-Rip for speakers and RCA's, I like what sounds good, to me. I've got friends with their $200,000 Naim systems and they can kiss my *** if they think they can tell when they put a $200 power cord on it or have their directional interconnects round the wrong way.

i have a pi3 and a kali/piano2.1 running the latest version of moode (3.1) and it sounds fantastic. Out of curiosity, I gave sox a go but oddly, up-sampling doesn't seem to engage at all according to the "audio info" window which indicates that up-sampling is turned off. Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong ? Btw, part of the vendeeglobe.org race fleet is near your region at present

@zootlaws
Excellent +1000.
Talking of expensive extras, the other day I saw an advert for a pair of gold plated terminal posts, to fit to your car lead acid battery wires to improve your car audio SQ !!!!
Mugs with more money than sense.
cheers

done - but it doesn't seem to have any effect (see screenshot) .. no big deal as SQ is already as good as it can get for me.
EDIT... it works when using the NAS as source (not Airplay)

Hi,
MPD settings affect only MPD playback. They have no effect on Airplay and Squeezelite renderers.
