If I understand correctly, I can configure Moode so that I don't need an additional app on my phone/tablet?

I'm not a Tidal subscriber so can't comment directly there except to say I believe you still definitely need the app, it is the Control Point.

What Moode will do is convert the Tidal stream to be rendered by the RPi via UPnP. So the phone/app remains as a remote controller or "Control Point" in UPnP parlance, while the RPi3 takes the role of Renderer or "End Point" if I'm not mistaken.

That makes sense. I'll have to give that a whirl soon, will be nice to be able to stream from Tidal, I sure do enjoy their service.

I'm using BubbleUPnP on my Android phone to make this work. The Tidal app itself doesn't seem to support a connection to another endpoint like Spotify Connect does. (unless I've missed something) Works well though.

I updated to Moode 5.0 on my bedroom streamer this afternoon. Unlike the living room unit I did last week, this bedroom unit is not running on the latest RPi3b+ board, in the bedroom I have the slightly older/lower spec'd RPi3b (non-plus) version.

Moode 5.0 is running just as smoothly on the older hardware, no discernible difference on either configuration or playback:

After 1,077 consecutive tracks played back via shuffle/random mode since last weekend, tonight I opened the System config screen and clicked "CHECK for software update", then clicked INSTALL to run the April 22nd update to Moode 5.1.

Upon completion of the 5.1 update, I resumed the same shuffle/random playlist right where it had left off, the JRiver server did not care that the Moode Renderer/endpoint had been both updated and rebooted, playback resumed as if it had just been paused.

I'm running into issues trying to get Moode 5.x set up to talk to my LMS instance. Any tips?

None really, being that I don't have a LMS so I can't test the Squeezelite renderer.

What exactly is the issue?

Have you enabled the Squeezelite Renderer via: Configure-> Audio-> Squeezelite-> ON -> Set ?

Yep. But LMS isn't picking up the Moode.
 
That should do it, though there is a separate Configuration pane for Squeeezelite.

But I don't think there are typically any parameters that need to be changed there under normal circumstances:

If it plays OK now then I'd say just leave that config alone, and rock on... :punk

Tim Curtis announced today that Moode 5.4 will be built on Raspbian 10 Buster, and thus fully support the new RPi 4B board. Beta testing should begin in just a couple of days.

As such, 5.4 will be a downloadable image, but no in-place updates from current 5.3 installs will be possible as those are based on Raspbian 9 Stretch.

Tim also said it may be possible to give those Stretch based 5.3 installs one last bump to 5.3.2, and if so many/most of the improvements found in 5.4 will be available to current users without having to install a whole new disk image.
