Rigelian

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.

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

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

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!!

Pulling the cover art from the metadata is probably the only issue I’ve found so far. UX is clear and simple. It just works! This app should be the defacto recommendation for all Chord Mojo/Poly users!

Really well done app for a great price. The author is very responsive to problems and suggestions. All apps should be this good!

Rigelian is an intuitive, well-supported macOS app (and companion iOS app) that I've been using to control my mpd-based music library and stream internet radio stations. Thanks to Rigelian I will be cancelling my Roon subscription, which is overkill for my needs, less user-friendly, and now costs $120/year. Rigelian costs less than $6/year and has provided trouble-free performance and great sound quality. Highly recommended!

The Chord Poly+Mojo sounds best to me when playing off the internal SD card, but the user experience has never been great because I’ve found the other UPnP/MPD apps I’ve tried to be finicky, buggy, ugly, or clunky. Very pleased to have found Rigelian, for me it’s much, much closer to the ideal experience. The only main drawback so far is the inability to pull my own album art off the SD card in the Poly, but from what I gather this is partly a limitation with the early version of MPD still used by Chord, rather than a problem per se with Rigelian. Let’s hope Chord can update this, and in the meantime I’m using Rigelian with enthusiasm, and a decent amount of album art is already coming in more or less okay for me via the online matching options. I would highly recommended this over other options for lovers of the SD card in Poly/Mojo (and presumably now the Chord 2go + Hugo 2 combo).

I’ve tried several MPD clients before and they couldn’t cope with a large library - this is pretty much perfect.
