Common Issues

Hardware Issues

  • The ProFusion iH player does not have a power button. Unplug the power cable from the back of the ProFusion iH player to power the player off.
  • Leave the ProFusion iH player unplugged for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Plug the power cable back in. The player will take about 1 to 2 minutes to fully boot up. Once the right-most Playback LED turns green, this indicates that music is now playing.
  • Press for 1-2 seconds - Plays back IP address through the audio outputs.
  • Press for 5 seconds - Resets the Online Control Panel password to default (admin/23646).
  • Press for 25 seconds - Resets the Online Control Panel password and network settings (Ethernet and DHCP) to default.
  • Short double click - Enables a Mobile Device to connect with the ProFusion player and begin setup through the alternative IP address.
  • Verify the Power LED Light is green.
  • Verify the power cable is properly connected at the wall outlet, at the external power supply, and at the back of the player.
  • Verify the power cable is connected to a working electrical outlet. Have the client test the power outlet with another electrical device, if able.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • If the player still fails to power on or complete startup after performing the steps above, proceed to RMA the player.

If the player is damaged to the extent that it prevents playback or client control via the online control panel, proceed to RMA the player.

  • Have the client immediately power off the player.
  • Inform the client that, for their safety, they should not power the player on until a replacement player is received.
  • Proceed to RMA the player.
  • Have the client power off the player in order to confirm that the noise is being produced from the source player. Perform a full power cycle to confirm if the noise returns during or after startup.
  • If the noise persists while the source player is powered down, the noise may be coming from the sound system equipment.
  • If the noise persists from the source player after power cycling, it is usually caused by a defective hard drive. Proceed to RMA the player.
  • Verify the player is truly losing power and rebooting. Power cycle the player.
  • If it seems that the player is suddenly losing power completely, have the client try connecting the player's power supply to another outlet.
  • Have the client check the online control panel for messages regarding error codes, muted zones, or dayparting events.
  • Unless the player is always stopping playback during the same song, proceed to RMA the player.

Is the player stopping playback on the same song every time?

  • The playback issue may be occurring due to that particular song being corrupted on the internal storage.
  • Determine which program the affected song is playing from by reviewing the player's dayparting schedule.
  • Once the affected program is determined, proceed to re-send the entire program via disc through Unity.

If the wrong power supply is used it can cause the player to stop working properly or stop working altogether(e.g. only some ports on the player work; screen is lit, but nothing is displayed). Use THIS guide to make sure the customer is using the correct power supply.

If a replacement was sent out, make sure the customer is using the power supply that came in the box and not the one from the old player.

Software Issues

  • This message appears during the startup process if the player is unable to detect the micro SD card in the micro SD card slot.
  • Remove the micro SD card and re-insert it securely into the micro SD card slot.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • If the error persists after power cycling, proceed to RMA the player.

This error occurs when:

  • the data on the micro SD card is corrupted beyond the player's ability to recover.
  • the micro SD card fails to read.
  • the player's card reader hardware or other related components have failed.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • If the error persists after power cycling, proceed to RMA the player.
  • This error indicates that the player cannot locate the micro SD card, or that data on the micro SD card is corrupted.
  • Remove the micro SD card and re-insert it securely into the micro SD card slot.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • If the error persists after power cycling, proceed to RMA the player.

This message appears when:

  • A) The player has been inactivated in Unity for non-payment or cancellation. Review the client's Oracle invoices and comments in Unity BEFORE providing an activation code.
  • B) The player has not been updated in the last 5096 total days (247 days) and has not been updated during this timeframe. Review update history and verify the configuration number on the player to determine the reason for lack of update(s) AFTER providing an activation code.
  • If a client calls in and someone provides an unlock code, this unexpires the device for 90 days. If connectivity is not restored or the device does not receive an update within 90 days, it will expire on day 91.

  • A 8-digit lock code should appear on the online control panel. Use the Device Reactivation tool in Unity to generate a 4-digit unlock code (NOTE: reactivation codes are unique to each player in Unity).
  • Have the client enter the unlock code into the control panel and click Reactivate device.
  • When the correct unlock code is entered, the control panel should return to the Zone page and allow music playback.

Unlock codes retrieved from Unity will expire at midnight in the client's time zone. A new lock code will generate on the player if the unlock code is not entered prior to midnight.

If a reactivation code is provided to the client, the player should always be re-activated via Unity. If the device record in Unity remains inactive, the player will eventually revert to "Machine Expired".

Need to reverse an RMA in Unity? E-mail Client Satisfaction Managers with the Device ID and reason why we need to reverse the RMA.

If the user remains idle on the control panel for a long period of time, the web session will end and produce a "session expired" message. Simply refresh the browser and log into the control panel once more to restart the session (the web user interface expires after 480 minutes of non-use; the Mood Controller app expires after 1440 minutes of non-use).

If the client is logging into the control panel with a username other than admin, the administrator for the control panel may have limited access to certain features and abilities for other logins (including the remote control). The user can confirm this by performing the following steps in the control panel:

  • When logged into the control site, click Administration.
  • If the Users tab cannot be accessed, the user is currently logged into the control panel via the username operator or user.
  • If the Users tab can be accessed, the user is currently logged into the control panel as admin. Accessing this tab will allow the user to enable or disable other logins, as well as set permissions for each.

This error indicates that the player is unable to locate a song file for the selected playlist. When error 33 is encountered, music playback will stop.

  • Verify that the player is not currently set to its Custom Audio Schedule from the online control panel. In the event that an update removes a program currently included in the custom schedule, it will yield error 33 when the player attempts to play the deleted program in that schedule.
  • Return the player to the Default Schedule via online control panel. If the default schedule does not contain the deleted/affected program, music playback should resume.
  • This error may indicate that content has not finished downloading for the newly added program(s) scheduled for playback. (EXAMPLE: The entire FM1 program has been added to the player in Unity and scheduled to play in the default daypart schedule. However, the player has not downloaded enough of the FM1 songs to satisfy the minimum requirements for playback. The new FM1 playlist on the player requests one of the new songs to be played, but the player cannot find the new song file.)
  • Review the Content History tab and Comments section under the receiver settings in Unity to determine which program on the player is encountering error 33.
  • When the affected program is determined, re-send the entire program via network in Unity. Error 33 will clear when the player receives all missing song/playlist files for the affected program.
  • Until the update is received, have the client play another program (if available) from the online control panel.

If the player downloads enough of the program to play, the online control panel may display "Update Ended, Download to resume at next connection"

This error indicates that the selected program on the player has not downloaded the minimum number of content files required before playback can start. (EXAMPLE: The entire FM1 program has been added to the player in Unity, and the minimum content requirement for playback has been set to 50%. The player downloads 45% of total content for the FM1 program. If the client were to select the FM1 program manually for playback, the player will encounter error 34).

  • Review the Content History tab and Comments section under the receiver settings in Unity to determine which program on the player is encountering error 34.
  • If the player is connecting to the network, have the client force a network update (Update Music & Config) from the online control panel.
  • Error 34 will clear when the minimum number of content files have been downloaded for the affected program.
  • Until the content is received, have the client play another program (if available) from the online control panel.

If the player downloads enough of the program to play, the screen may display "Update Ended, Download to resume at next connection"

This error indicates that an update was sent to remove all existing programs on the player. This usually occurs when all programs are swapped on a player, and the update that will load the new programs was incomplete or skipped entirely.

  • If the player is connecting to the network: The player will continue to download content during its network update window, but may take a very long time to download the entire style(s) over the network during its normal update window (depending on file size and network speed). To force an update outside of the player's normal update window:
    • Press the navigation buttons on the front panel in the following order: ▲ ▲ ▲ ▼ ▼ ▼ -- this will automatically navigate to the <Network Control> menu.
    • Press the ▼ button until <Update Music & Config> is selected; press the ✱ button to force-start an update.
  • If the player is not connecting: The missing content should be sent via physical media. Re-send the entire style(s) via disc in Unity.
  • If the player does not have a DVD-ROM drive: proceed to RMA the player. The replacement player will be fulfilled with the new style(s).

If a Pandora for Business player asks for an update CD, power cycle the player. If it keeps asking for a CD after that, RMA the player. Pandora for Business uses network-only players.

This error indicates that the player is currently in fulfillment mode. This occurs when the file system on the player is corrupted and reformatted automatically; this error cannot be cleared from the player. Proceed to RMA the player.

  • Power cycle the player.
  • Make sure the player is connecting. Troubleshoot connectivity if needed.
  • Make sure the correct Update Server is selected.
  • If the player is still displaying the same error, proceed to RMA. This occurs when the client's device reports a System Fault error due to a corrupt SD Card.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • Check the online control panel display for messages regarding error codes or network events. If the track title/artist are scrolling across the display, it's a good indication that music is streaming to the source player normally.
  • Verify that the player is properly associated to the correct user in the Mix admin control site (should be displayed as Device ID ######-1).
  • If the player is not associated in the Mix admin control site (or associated to the wrong user), contact the CS Tier 2 team to report the issue. Please include Oracle account number, POC name/e-mail, e-mail used to log into Mix, Device ID(s) and/or serial number(s) in your e-mail.

This error occurs when a device running the Mood Mix app has not has its software updated in a very long time. Android and Apple devices must have their software updated from time to time to ensure they have the most up-to-date security updates. Older software can potentially have security issues which will disallow certain apps from running properly. To correct this issue, instruct the customer to update the software on their device.

If the customer is using the Mood Mix app on the first generation Kindle, they must update to a newer Kindle as the version their using is no longer capable of reaching a security level that is acceptable.

Error Code Issue Solutions
422 Invalid email or password Power cycle the player. If the error persists, contact the CS Tier 2 team to access the account section of the Mix Admin page and reset the user password.
100 There is no default Mix selected for this User and Player Have the client create and select a Mix to play in the Mix control site.
407 Proxy Authentication Required Verify that a proxy user and password is entered under the player settings in Unity. If this is not present, have the client contact their IT/ISP for proxy network information.

Audio Issues

  • Check the front panel indicator lights to determine playback status.
  • Check the online control panel for messages regarding error codes, muted zones, or dayparting events.
  • Power cycle the player. Have the client confirm that the POWER indicator light is lit to ensure that the player is receiving power.
  • Verify that the selected zone is not muted in the online control panel. If the zone is muted, have the client adjust the zone volume by moving the volume slider or clicking the mute toggle button.
  • Verify the RCA audio cables and audio adapter are securely connected to the appropriate output ports on the source player.
  • Verify the other end of the RCA audio cables are securely connected to the appropriate input zones on the amplifier (varies based on model).
  • Verify the sound system components (amplifier, mixer/processor, etc.) are turned on and receiving power.
  • Verify the volume level on the sound system equipment (including wall volume controls, if present) is turned up to an appropriate level.
  • Have the client confirm status of indicator lights on the amplifier and sound system equipment (ex. PROTECT, PEAK, PWR). If PROTECT or PEAK light turns off when the RCA cables are removed from the back of the amplifier, the source player may be overloading the amplifier zone (try lowering the source player volume to resolve). If the PROTECT or PEAK light remains illuminated after removing the RCA cables from the back of the amplifier, the amplifier may be defective and need to be replaced.
  • If audio is not restored after performing the steps above (and the source player and sound system components show symptoms of normal playback), proceed to dispatch a technician.
  • Check the front panel indicator lights to determine playback status.
  • Confirm that the player is currently playing normally by having the client log in to the Online Control Panel.
  • Verify whether the sound system components (amplifier, mixer/processor, etc.) are set up on an internal or electrical timer. If a timer exists, its schedule may be off.
  • If playback continues to cut in and out unexpectedly after performing the steps above, proceed to dispatch a technician.
  • Verify the date and time settings are correct on the player from the online control panel (NOTE: time zone setting is configured via Unity).
  • Verify the player's default dayparting schedule within Unity. Search for time periods in the schedule during which no music is scheduled to play.
  • If music is currently playing, check the online control panel for messages regarding error codes, muted zones, or dayparting events.
  • Verify the player has the Default Schedule selected to play in the online control panel.
  • If the player has multiple zones, perform the steps above for both zones. The client may have their audio cables switched to play their schedules in the opposite zones by mistake.
  • Verify whether the sound system components (amplifier, mixer/processor, etc.) are set up on an internal or electrical timer. If a timer exists, its schedule may be off.
  • If playback continues to start/stop at incorrect times after performing the steps above, proceed to RMA the player.
  • The player may be rebooting. Have the client check the online control panel for messages regarding error codes, muted zones, or dayparting events.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • Unless the player is always stopping playback during the same song, proceed to RMA the player.

Is the player stopping playback on the same song every time?

  • The playback issue may be occurring due to that particular song being corrupted on the internal storage.
  • Determine which program the affected song is playing from by reviewing the player's dayparting schedule.
  • Once the affected program is determined, proceed to re-send the entire program via network through Unity.

This usually indicates that the audio output cables from the player are incorrectly connected to the audio input ports on the sound system equipment.

  • Have the client switch the RCA audio cables between the audio adapter's RCA outputs on the back of the source player's.
  • If messages are still heard on the incorrect zone, verify the player's messaging settings in Unity.

This usually indicates that the audio output cables from the player are both connected to the SAME audio input zone on the sound system equipment. If both audio streams are connected to the same input on the amplifier, this will cause two audio zones to be heard from one output zone on the sound system.

  • If the client is hearing an echo effect with the same song, have the client disconnect one of the RCA audio cables from the amplifier.
  • If the client is hearing two different songs playing on top of each other, have the client move one of the RCA audio cables to another audio input zone on the amplifier.
  • If audio overlap issues persist after confirming audio cabling connections, proceed to dispatch a technician.

These symptoms usually indicate there is an issue with the client's network (either bandwidth limitations or WiFi signal difficulties).

  • Power cycle the player.
  • Verify the client's network has enough bandwidth for the player to stream. If the player fails to download data fast enough, the player will not be able to consistently stream music.
  • Have the client visit www.speedtest.net from a computer on their network to test speed/bandwidth (NOTE: this online tool is not licensed by Mood Media and is only used to determine approximate bandwidth for a client's network).
  • Run a network diagnostic test on the player.
  • If the control panel often displays a small window with the word "Loading..." and a progress bar, this is often indicative of slow network traffic.
  • If the player is connected via WiFi, these symptoms may be caused by a signal reception issue.
  • Installing the player on a glass or metal surface can cause poor WiFi reception.
  • Walls and long distances between the player and WiFi router can also cause poor WiFi reception.

A firewall, such as a SonicWall, on the client's network can potentially cause songs to cut out intermittently. The client would have to work with their firewall provider to fix any network blockages that are affecting playback.

  • The player may be rebooting. Have the client check the Mix control site for messages regarding error codes, muted zones, or dayparting events.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • Unless the player is always stopping playback during the same song, proceed to RMA the player.
  • The player may be experiencing network bandwidth issues that are preventing the player from downloading content consistently. Proceed to troubleshoot connectivity.

Is the online control panel displaying "Playing from cache - check network connection"? This indicates that the player has entered hybrid mode. Proceed to troubleshoot connectivity.

  • This issue may occur when the player is playing a default playlist (if a Mix hasn't been created on the device). Have the user create a new mix and select it for playback.
  • If the user selects several elements or programs of a similar genre, the user may hear some of the same tracks in each element/program. If this is the case, have the user diversify the elements/programs included in their selected mix.
  • If the repetition still persists after performing the steps above, contact the CS Tier 2 team to report the issue. Please include Oracle account number, POC name/e-mail, e-mail used to log into Mix, Device ID(s) and/or serial number(s), and titles of repeating songs/elements in your e-mail.

This message appears when the Mix Pro player is in Hybrid Mode.

  • Perform network troubleshooting to ensure that the player re-connects to the Mix stream.
  • Once the player has reconnected to the Mix stream, send a config update in Unity and force an update on the ProFusion player..

Is the player playing holiday music from the cache? This occurs when a Mix Pro player loses connectivity when the player is playing a holiday mix. To correct this, restore connectivity to the player to allow it to revert to streaming mode, then e-mail david.budge@moodmedia.com with the Device ID of the player and ask him to purge the cache of the player to delete the saved holiday music; this will force the player to download new cache files.

This message usually indicates that music program has not been selected for playback, or that no music is scheduled to play at the current time according to the selected dayparting schedule.

  • Power cycle the player.
  • If the player is not set on a dayparting schedule, select a program to play in the online control panel.
  • If a custom schedule is selected in the control panel, have the client review the start and end times of each dayparting event in the custom schedule.

This message indicates that the player has been muted from the online control panel.

  • Power cycle the player.
  • Verify that the volume slider is not set to zero (to the far left) in the online control panel.
  • Have the client try adjusting the volume slider to unmute the zone.
  • Have the client try clicking on the speaker symbol to unmute the zone.
  • Power cycle the player.
  • Verify that the volume slider is set to maximum (to the far right) in the online control panel.
  • Have the client verify that the RCA audio cable is securely inserted into the source player and the amplifier.
  • Have the client try adjusting the volume for their audio output zone on their amplifier or sound system equipment.
  • Verify the sound system components (amplifier, mixer/processor, etc.) are not losing power.
  • Have the client confirm status of indicator lights on the amplifier and sound system equipment (ex. PROTECT, PEAK, PWR). If PROTECT or PEAK light turns off when the RCA cables are removed from the back of the amplifier, the source player may be overloading the amplifier zone (try lowering the source player volume to resolve). If the PROTECT or PEAK light remains illuminated after removing the RCA cables from the back of the amplifier, the amplifier may be defective and need to be replaced.
  • If audio is not restored after performing the steps above (and the source player and sound system components show symptoms of normal playback), proceed to dispatch a technician.

The control site will yield "unexpected error" when selecting a style that includes enhanced emoticons/emojis in its name. These emoticons/emojis will not appear on the control site, even if they are present. To resolve the issue, access the account via Pandora.com, edit the style name and remove any emoticons/emojis.

This error will appear in the form of a popup message when the error is caused by an emoticon/emoji in the name of one of the stations. If the Unexpected Error Occurred message is shown as a standard error message and not a popup, proceed to troubleshoot network connectivity instead.

  • Verify that the Profusion iH is up to date in Unity by cross-checking the Configuration Number.

  • HTTPS Protocol - Requires DNS + Ports 443, 80
  • FTP Protocol - Port 21 must be allowed for FTP, and temporally open ports 1025-65535) to allow data transmission. Currently, ProFusion devices only support passive FTP and will not connect via active FTP configurations.
  • SFTP Protocol - Port 22 must be allowed for SFTP connections.
  • Mood US Heartbeat Server - IP: 184.73.209.217 / Port: 80.

*Does the client wish to connect the player via HTTPS? If the player is NOT connecting, the client cannot simply change the protocol to HTTPS from the player menu. The client must manually enter the host name (fm-wdav-01.moodmedia.com) into the IP address field of the <Update Server> menu. If the player IS connecting, we should be able to set the protocol to HTTPS in Unity and send a configuration update via the network.

** For the purpose of availability and reliability, Pandora utilizes multiple server locations for streaming audio. In order to support these streaming services, ports 80 and 443 should be allowed unimpeded external access.

BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENT: A consistent bandwidth of no less than 150 Kbps is required for Pandora for business streaming services. Higher bandwidth connections will provide more consistent service especially when network traffics loads are greater. Dial up services are not supported.

Clients can be provided the Pandora Network Requirements sheet for use in troubleshooting with their IT department or internet service provider.

The following ports should be open for inbound and outbound traffic to/from the ProFusion Update Server (CLT): 199.204.61.120

Required for Mood:Mix music streaming: Port: 443 (HTTPS - TCP) Server: 199.204.61.120
Required for Mood:Mix music streaming: Port: 80 (HTTP - TCP) Server: 199.204.61.120
If the Mix Pro player's update protocol is set to FTP: Port: 21 (FTP - TCP/UDP) Server: 199.204.61.120
If the Mix Pro player's update protocol is set to SFTP: Port: 22 (SFTP - TCP/UDP) Server: 199.204.61.120

The following URLs may need to be white-listed on a client's network website/content filter in order for the player to properly stream music:

  • https://mix.moodmedia.com (Port 443)
  • http://onlinedj.s3.amazonaws.com (Port 80)
  • https://d2mxawcko1ots5.cloudfront.net (Port 443)
  • https://pubnub.ably.io (Port 443)
  • *.dfw50.r.cloudfront.net (Port 443)

The client's network must be capable of continuous audio streaming (at least 150 Kbps). Network speed can be tested by the client's Internet service provider.

Clients can be provided the ProFusion Networking Guide for use in troubleshooting with their IT department or internet service provider.
Instructions on how to view and change network settings on the player can be found in the User Guide starting at page 9.

This test result indicates that the player has detected an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection, but cannot reach the ProFusion update server to retrieve updates.

  • Run a diagnostic test on the player.
  • Verify the IP settings and update protocol in the online control panel. Compare these settings to the IP settings listed under the receiver record in Unity.
  • If the IP type and address on the player does not match what we have in Unity, we will need to make them match. Ask the for the IP information they see and make sure to write that down. After that, have the customer put in the information we see in Unity. If the connectivity issue is not resolved, have the customer put in the information they originally had back on the player and change what we have in Unity to that.
  • Verify the required network ports are open for inbound/outbound traffic.
  • If the player successfully heartbeating but failing to connect for updates, try switching the player's update protocol (FTP ◄► SFTP) in the online control panel and test the connection again.
  • If the IP settings on the player are confirmed to be correct and the player still yields this test result, advise the client to consult their IT department or ISP to confirm network and port settings. If the client has already confirmed all physical and virtual settings with IT/ISP, pull/send the logs and contact ProFusion Support for further troubleshooting.

While sounding similar, a control panel is different to a control site. They are not to be mixed or used interchangeably. They do different things.

Control Panel: Accessed via the methods mentioned in How to access the Online Control Panel

  • Allows for immediate changes to the Settings of a player
  • Allows for immediate changes of the program the player is on
  • Used for checking connectivity and player configuration
  • Not something the Harmony player has
  • Not something needed by a player that has a screen

Control Site - Accessed via the https://control.mymood.com/ site

  • Allows the user to Daypart, schedule messages, block songs, and view connectivity of their unit(s)
  • All changes made on the control site are either pushed to the unit overnight during their update window or sent as a CD (for Disc updated units)

METHOD #1: Using an alternate IP address

Similar to using the URL, this IP address doesn't change and can be used to access any Onboard Control Panel, despite the player's IP address.

How to open the Onboard Control Panel using the alternate IP Address
  • Put the Profusion iH into hotspot/discovery mode by holding the blue button down on the IR remote until the Network light starts to flicker. If the customer doesn't have the remote, they can put the player in hotspot mode by doing a quick double-tap of the reset button on the back of the player using a paperclip.
  • Ask the client to go to the device they're using to set up the iH and go into the device's WiFi settings and join the Profusion's hotspot. (SSID will be PROFUSION-XXXXXX where the X's are the Device ID.)
  • Have the client open their internet browser and go to https://10.219.4.193 (this works on every device)
  • If the customer sees the CS MOOD HUB page when accessing the IP, have them turn off their Mobile data and redo the process.
  • If successful, the client will see the "certificate expired" screen. Have the client bypass this screen by clicking Advanced, then Proceed Anyway. On the login page, type the default user credentials. admin / 23646

Is the IP address of the ProFusion iH player constantly changing? DHCP addresses have a "release-and-renew" rule that is usually set by the user's network or Internet service provider. For example: if 5 days is the release-and-renew rule time, the IP address will change after 5 days. The client may need to have their Internet service provider extend the release-and-renew rule as far as they are able (i.e. 30 days, 60 days, 1 year, etc.) OR assign a static IP address to the player to prevent reassignment OR simply use the URL solution instead.

How can I confirm if the ProFusion iH is on the same network as the computer? In order for the user's computer and player to be on the same network, the first three octets of their IP addresses must match. As an example, let's assume that the ProFusion iH's IP address is 192.168.14.32. If the computer's IP address is 192.168.14.45, then the computer and player are on the same network. However, if the computer's IP address is 192.168.47.105, the computer is not on the same network as the player; this is known because the third octet of each IP address does not match.

Is the IP address redirecting to a Google or Bing search in the web browser? Try entering the IP address in the URL field using the following format: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Player unable to find desired Wi-Fi network? Verify that the player is within range of the desired Wi-Fi network (no more than 100 unobstructed meters). Verify that the wireless router is powered on and functioning normally. Verify that the network is broadcasting at 2.4GHz and NOT 5GHz (the ProFusion iH cannot connect to a 5GHz network).

METHOD #2: MOOD Controller app

The MOOD Controller app allows clients to set up the ProFusion iH on a wired connection (or directly on a WiFi network) without the use of a computer. The app also allows users to input static IP information during initial setup, allowing for easier installation on static-only networks. Clients can download the MOOD Controller app through the Google Play Store on their Android mobile device, or through the App Store on their Apple mobile device.

App is unable to locate ProFusion iH player
  • The MOOD Controller app requires use of the new 802.11n 300Mbps USB WiFi adapter. The USB WiFi adapters provided with new players prior to February 2016 are not compatible for use with the MOOD Controller app. Replace with the new wireless adapter if necessary.
  • The MOOD Controller app also requires that the ProFusion iH player have firmware version 2.18.1 or later installed. Contact Product Support with the player's Device ID if the latest firmware needs to be downloaded to the player.
  • Verify the player is in discovery mode (the LINK light should be alternating red and green) when attempting to discover the player. If the player is not in discovery mode, have the client press and hold the blue button (just under the "like" button) on the remote control until the LINK light begins to alternate red and green. Alternatively, have customers press the reset button 2 times to enter discovery mode.
  • If the app is still unable to locate the player when in discovery mode, have the client use the Email Log tool to send feedback to the developers and attempt to discover the player by another method. If all other discovery methods have failed, proceed to RMA the player.
App fails to proceed to next step or crashes
  • If the app freezes when it attempts to connect to the player or network, have the client force-quit the app and restart their mobile device.
  • If the app continues to freeze or crash on the same step during setup, have the client use the Email Log tool to send feedback to the developers and attempt to discover the player by another method. If all other discovery methods have failed, proceed to RMA the player.

METHOD #3: Player speaks IP address with a two-second reset

There is a pin-size RESET button on the back of the ProFusion iO player. In addition to other functions, this RESET button can be pressed and held for two (2) seconds to command the player to speak the assigned IP address via its RCA audio outputs. The player will speak the IP address one digit at a time, and will pronounce "dot" to designate the end of each octet.

Player fails to speak IP address after the two-second reset
  • Confirm the RCA cables are securely connected to the audio output ports on the ProFusion iH player and to the appropriate input port(s) on the client's sound system equipment.
  • Confirm the volume levels on the client's sound system equipment for the connected input zone are turned up to an appropriate level.
  • Have the client connect the RCA cables to an alternate input zone, if present.
  • If the player fails to speak the IP address after performing the steps above, attempt to discover the IP address by another method. If all other discovery methods have failed, proceed to RMA the player.
Player speaks IP address as 0.0.0.0
  • This usually indicates that the player is unable to establish a valid connection to the Internet.
  • Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the back of the player and to an available port on the client's network router or switch.
  • Verify the USB WiFi adapter is not connected to the back of the player. This sometimes confuses the player when attempting to connect via a wired connection.
  • The network ports necessary for internal and/or external network traffic may be closed. The client can contact their Internet service provider (ISP) to confirm network port status.
  • The client's network may only be configured for static IP addresses. The ProFusion iH requires a dynamically assigned (DHCP) IP address for initial setup. If the client's network is configured for static IP addresses only, the client will need to setup their player using the MOOD Controller app or connect the player to a DHCP-allowed network for initial setup.
  • If the player continues to speak the IP address as 0.0.0.0 after performing the steps above, attempt to discover the IP address by another available method. If all other discovery methods have failed, proceed to RMA the player.

METHOD #4: Router settings & arp table

If all other IP discovery methods have been unsuccessful, the client may have the ability to log into their network router settings and view the IP addresses for all connecting devices (usually listed by MAC address). This procedure varies based on router manufacturer and model; advise the client to contact the router manufacturer's customer support for assistance. Alternatively, the client can attempt to run an arp table from a computer on the same network as their ProFusion iH player.

How to run an arp table
  • WINDOWS: Start menu ► type in "Command Prompt" ► press the ENTER key.
  • MAC: Finder ► Applications ► Utilities ► open the Terminal application.
  • A small black window should appear. Type in "arp -a" and press the ENTER key.
How to read arp table results

The Physical Address column displays a list of MAC addresses for connected devices. The client can retrieve the MAC address from the bottom of the ProFusion iH player. If the player's MAC address is not listed in the arp table, the player is not connected to the network. If the player's MAC address is listed in the arp table, the player's assigned IP address will be listed in the Internet Address column.

METHOD #5: Using the Device URL

Using the Device URL can be easier since the client doesn't have to figure out the IP address of the player.

How to open the Onboard Control Panel using the URL
  • Ensure that the Profusion iH is on the same network as the client's computer/mobile device.
  • Instruct the customer to type in https://profusion-XXXXXX.local/admin.shtml into a web browser. (Instead of X's, have the client type the device's DEVICE ID there instead - EX. https://profusion-398994.local/admin.shtml)
  • If successful, the client will see the "certificate expired" screen. Have the client bypass this screen by clicking Advanced, then Proceed Anyway. On the login page, type the default user credentials. admin / 23646

Clients often have difficulty with the initial setup of their ProFusion iH player. Several common setup configurations that clients attempt are illustrated below:

This setup is NOT valid. Clients may attempt to connect their ProFusion player directly via an Ethernet cable to a nearby computer, believing this will establish an Internet connection. This setup can be accomplished through the use of advanced Ethernet port-forwarding, but generally clients try this setup by mistake. If the client does wish to use port-forwarding through a computer, have them consult their IT/ISP contact.
This setup is valid. However, most clients will have a network router between the cable modem and network-ready devices (see next setup).
This setup is valid. Most clients will use this setup for wired (Ethernet) connectivity.
This setup is NOT valid. In this setup, the computer and ProFusion player are connected to separate routers, and will likely be assigned IP addresses on different networks.
This setup is valid. Most clients will use this setup for WiFi connectivity. Once the ProFusion player is connected via WiFi, a computer can be used to access the online control panel via the same network.

Before a client can access their online control panel, it is necessary to discover the IP address assigned to the ProFusion player. This IP address is used to access the online control panel via a web browser.

This test result indicates that the player is configured to connect to a proxy server, but a network setting may be incorrect on the player or on the client's proxy network.

  • Run a diagnostic test on the player.
  • Verify the IP settings on the player are correct in the online control panel. Compare these settings to the IP settings listed under the receiver record in Unity.
  • Verify the required network ports are open for inbound/outbound traffic.
  • If the IP settings on the player are confirmed to be correct and the player still yields this test result, advise the client to consult their IT department or ISP to confirm network and port settings. If the client has already confirmed all physical and virtual settings with IT/ISP, pull/send the logs and contact ProFusion Support for further troubleshooting.

This test result indicates that the Device Update Server has been changed in the player settings. Perform a diagnostic test on the player.

  • This error can be cleared by either adjusting the update server address (should be 199.204.61.120) or re-sending the latest config via network update in Unity, then performing a test connection after the update queues in Unity.

Clients often have difficulty with the initial setup of their ProFusion iH Pandora player. Several common setup configurations that clients attempt are illustrated below:

Before a client can access their online control panel, it is necessary to discover the IP address assigned to the ProFusion iH player. This IP address is used to access the online control panel via a web browser. There are four ways to discover the IP address for a ProFusion iH player:

METHOD #1: Mood Controller app

The Mood Controller app allows clients to set up the ProFusion iH on a wired connection (or directly on a WiFi network) without the use of a computer. The app also allows users to input static IP information during initial setup, allowing for easier installation on static-only networks. Clients can download the Mood Controller app through the Google Play Store on their Android mobile device, or through the App Store on their Apple mobile device.

If the player is not in discovery mode, have the client press and hold the blue button (just under the "like" button) on the remote control until the network light begins to alternate orange and green.
  • If the app is still unable to locate the player when in discovery mode, have the client use the Email Log tool to send feedback to the developers and attempt to discover the player by another method. If all other discovery methods have failed, proceed to RMA the player.
App fails to proceed to next step or crashes
  • If the app freezes when it attempts to connect to the player or network, have the client force-quit the app and restart their mobile device.
  • If the app continues to freeze or crash on the same step during setup, have the client use the Email Log tool to send feedback to the developers and attempt to discover the player by another method. If all other discovery methods have failed, proceed to RMA the player.

METHOD #2: Java discovery tool

The Java discovery tool is a Java applet that allows clients to discover a player's IP address on their network. When the player is discovered and selected in the applet, the client will be re-directed to the player's online control panel within the web browser. The Java applet can be downloaded here -- use of the applet requires Java.

Java discovery tool yields result "No players found on your network"
  • This message indicates that the player is unable to connect to the client's internal network for one or more of the following reasons:
    • The network ports necessary for internal and/or external network traffic may be closed. The client can contact their Internet service provider (ISP) to confirm network port status.
    • The client's network may only be configured for static IP addresses. The ProFusion iH requires a dynamically assigned (DHCP) IP address for initial setup. If the client's network is configured for static IP addresses only, the client will need to setup their player using the Mood Controller app or connect the player to a DHCP-allowed network for initial setup.
    • If the client's computer is not connected to the same network as the player, the Java applet will be unable to locate the player. Confirm the client has established a compatible setup for the player (see above).

METHOD #3: Player speaks IP address with one-second reset

There is a pin-size RESET button on the back of the ProFusion iH player. In addition to other functions, this RESET button can be pressed and held for one (1) second to command the player to speak the assigned IP address via its RCA audio outputs. The player will speak the IP address one digit at a time, and will pronounce "dot" to designate the end of each octet.

Player fails to speak IP address after one-second reset
  • Confirm the RCA cables are securely connected to the audio output ports on the ProFusion iH player and to the appropriate input port(s) on the client's sound system equipment.
  • Confirm the volume levels on the client's sound system equipment for the connected input zone are turned up to an appropriate level.
  • Have the client connect the RCA cables to an alternate input zone, if present.
  • If the player fails to speak the IP address after performing the steps above, attempt to discover the IP address by another method. If all other discovery methods have failed, proceed to RMA the player.
Player speaks IP address as 0.0.0.0
  • This usually indicates that the player is unable to establish a valid connection to the Internet.
  • Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the back of the player and to an available port on the client's network router or switch.
  • Verify the USB WiFi adapter is not connected to the back of the player. This sometimes confuses the player when attempting to connect via a wired connection.

  • If successful, the client will see the "certificate expired" screen. Have the client bypass this screen by clicking Advanced, then Proceed Anyway. On the login page, type the default user credentials. admin / 23646

METHOD #6: Using an alternate IP address

Similar to using the URL, this IP address doesn't change and can be used to access any Onboard Control Panel, despite the player's IP address.

How to open the Onboard Control Panel using the alternate IP Address
  • Put the ProFusion iH into hotspot/discovery mode by holding the blue button down on the IR remote until the Network light starts to flicker.
  • Ask the client to go to the device they're using to set up the iO and go into the device's WiFi settings and join the Profusion's hotspot. (SSID will be PROFUSION-XXXXXX where the X's are the Device ID.)
  • Have the client open their internet browser and go to https://10.219.4.193 (this works on every device)
  • If successful, the client will see the "certificate expired" screen. Have the client bypass this screen by clicking Advanced, then Proceed Anyway. On the login page, type the default user credentials. admin / 23646

Is the IP address of the ProFusion iH player constantly changing? DHCP addresses have a "release-and-renew" rule that is usually set by the user's network or Internet service provider. For example: if 5 days is the release-and-renew rule time, the IP address will change after 5 days. The client may need to have their Internet service provider extend the release-and-renew rule as far as they are able (i.e. 30 days, 60 days, 1 year, etc.) OR assign a static IP address to the player to prevent reassignment OR simply use the URL solution instead.

How can I confirm if the ProFusion iH is on the same network as the computer? In order for the user's computer and player to be on the same network, the first three octets of their IP addresses must match. As an example, let's assume that the ProFusion iH's IP address is 192.168.14.32. If the computer's IP address is 192.168.14.45, then the computer and player are on the same network. However, if the computer's IP address is 192.168.47.105, the computer is not on the same network as the player; this is known because the third octet of each IP address does not match.

Is the IP address redirecting to a Google or Bing search in the web browser? Try entering the IP address in the URL field using the following format: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Player unable to find desired Wi-Fi network? Verify that the player is within range of the desired Wi-Fi network (no more than 100 unobstructed meters). Verify that the wireless router is powered on and functioning normally. Verify that the network is broadcasting at 2.4GHz and NOT 5GHz (the ProFusion iH cannot connect to a 5GHz network).

This error is known as an NIF lock. It occurs when a client has manually changed network settings through the online control panel.

  • If the player is connecting to the network: Unity should update the device form with the network settings changes and send an NIF unlock command automatically. (NOTE: There are a couple of exceptions where Unity will not automatically unlock a connecting device that has reported the NIF lock. These devices will be updated manually in Unity by ProFusion Support with the reported network settings found in the Advanced tab or in device logs.)
  • If error code 28 is received after a CD update: Proceed to send an NIF unlock command via Unity.

Do NOT send an NIF unlock command if you see network settings in the Advanced tab. Contact ProFusion Support via e-mail to assist with the NIF unlock if network settings are shown.

If a ProFusion is fulfilled with an IP or gateway that has .0 for the last octet, it causes an error in the device that makes it reject any changes to the ethernet settings. Contact ProFusion Support for more information.

  • This error occurs when the Mix Pro device has a timeout issue.
  • Have the client run a network diagnostic check on their device to see if it can resolve the hostname.
  • If it is not resolved, have the client check if the following URLs are whitelisted on their network.

This tool can be used to test valid connections to the player's control panel on the LAN or to Pandora's servers on the WAN:

  • WINDOWS: Start menu ► type in "Command Prompt" ► press the ENTER key.
  • MAC: Finder ► Applications ► Utilities ► open the Terminal application.
  • A small black window should appear. Type in "ping " (with a space) and the IP address you wish to ping and press the ENTER key.
  • The command prompt will attempt to ping the IP address provided; when finished, the command prompt will display packages sent, received, and lost.

Command prompt displays "Destination Host Unreachable"? This message indicates one of two problems: either the local system has no route to the desired destination, or a remote router reports that it has no route to the destination. If the message is simply "Destination Host Unreachable," then there is no route from the local system, and the packets to be sent were never put on the wire. If the message is "Reply From [IP address]: Destination Host Unreachable," then the routing problem occurred at a remote router, whose address is indicated by the [IP address] field.

Command prompt displays "Request Timed Out"? This message indicates that no Echo Reply messages were received within the default time of 1 second. This can be due to many different causes; the most common include network congestion, the host did not receive a response (i.e. Pandora is down), or network ports allowing communication are closed.

Miscellaneous Issues

Pandora for Business is not a product accessible to customers outside of continental USA. Examples of territories that cannot purchase Pandora:

  • Alaska
  • Hawaii
  • Puerto Rico
  • Guam
  • United States Virgin Islands

The ProFusion iH player pulls its music stream directly from Pandora's servers and requires the use of a standard Pandora account for music playback. As such, there are several Pandora playback rules and specifications that apply to the ProFusion iO:

Skipping Tracks - When a user skips a track, that track will not play on the selected station for 4 hours. Users can skip up to six tracks per hour, per station. If the user attempts to skip or thumbs-down more than six tracks, they will receive the message: "Unfortunately, our music licenses force us to limit the amount of tracks you can skip in an hour." This track will continue to play, but will not play again on that station for 4 hours.

Stations - A user can create up to 100 stations on one Pandora account. If the 100 station maximum is reached, stations must be removed before additional stations are created. Any stations created directly on the user's Pandora account (via www.pandora.com) will automatically appear in the user's ProFusion iH control panel.

If a user adds variety to a station via www.pandora.com, these customizations also apply to the stations in the ProFusion iO control panel.

Track History & Customization - The ProFusion iH control panel displays the last 20 tracks played (including the track currently playing). Users are able to like, dislike, sleep, and create stations from tracks in their history. Any like and dislike commands sent in the ProFusion iH control panel apply to station preferences for the account on www.pandora.com, and vice versa.

QuickMix - To use the QuickMix option on Pandora devices, the modifications need to be done on the www.pandora.com website.

Stations that are created via the ProFusion iO control panel will not be included in the QuickMix or My Shuffle automatically.

Clients can customzie their My Shuffle options on the www.pandora.com website the following ways

  1. Hovering over the Shuffle On icon which will appear on the Now Playing screen which will reveal a pencil icon.
  2. Clicking the pencil icon will bring you to the My Collection page
  3. Check or uncheck each station to modify your shuffle experience, either in the bottom right corner of each stations' album art, or (if you're using A-Z sorting) to the right of the station name.

The Mood Controller app allows clients to set up the ProFusion iH on a wired connection (or directly on a WiFi network) without the use of a computer. The app also allows users to input static IP information during initial setup, allowing for easier installation on static-only networks. When the ProFusion iH player is successfully installed, the Mood Controller app can be used to access and make changes to the player. Clients can download the Mood Controller app through the Google Play Store on their Android mobile device, or through the App Store on their Apple mobile device.

Mood Media will not send the customer a phisical USB but a file to their email address which can be downloaded to whatever empty USB the customer has
  1. Insert a USB thumb drive into your computer's USB port. If there are any files already on the drive, then delete them.
  2. We advise using a USB thumb drive that is 32 GB or smaller. If you wish to use a larger drive, it needs to be formatted as FAT32.

  3. Click the "HERE" link above for the update you wish to burn - a zip file will be downloaded to your computer.
  4. Go to your computer's downloads directory and open the zip file.
  5. Within the zip file, there is a directory called "update" and a file called "pficon". Copy both of these to your USB drive.
  6. Once the copy Is complete, the USB thumb drive can be inserted into the USB port on the ProFusion device.
  7. The device will automatically start the process of copying the files from the USB stick onto its local storage.
  8. If you are logged into the ProFusion device using the web user interface, you will see a popup message that displays "Updating. Please wait…". The popup will go away when it has completed the process

Social Mix 1-Pager
Social Mix Demo - Austin SXSW

Social Mix (previously known as Mood:HEAR) is a jukebox-like experience that allows customers and staff to access a website on mobile phones and computers that shows the current mix for the given business location (www.socialmix.fm). The user can then choose what song(s) they would like to hear played next in the mix. Social Mix is an add-on service only available to Mix Pro clients; it is not available for web-only Mix accounts.

  • Songs cannot be down-voted, only up-voted.
  • The song with the most votes will be moved to the ON DECK section and schedule to play.
  • Clients can customize the image and colors on their Social Mix page(s) by e-mailing support@socialmix.fm.
  • Clients can receive analytics for their Social Mix page(s) by e-mailing support@socialmix.fm.
  • Header images, colors, and device URLs can be edited via the Social Mix section of the Mood:Mix admin page.

If a Mood:Mix client inquires about upgrading to have Mix Pro and/or Social Mix, contact Local Account Management.

For any advanced issues with the Social Mix service, contact Interactive Support.

As of January 2017 (ProFusion iS software version 2.22.0), all new Mix Pro players will come equipped with Hybrid Mode. While the Mix Pro player is streaming, music data is continually downloading to the SD card in real time. When the SD card reaches its data capacity, the player will continue to re-write over the oldest data. This process is known as "caching."

When the Mix Pro player is not connecting to the mix servers, the player will automatically begin playing the music that is stored on the SD card. When connectivity is re-established, the music stream will begin to download and play. This is essentially rain-fade mode for the Mix Pro.

While the Mix Pro player is in hybrid mode, the online control panel will display: Audio: Playing from cache - check network connection - [Track] by [Artist] on [Album]

For Mix Pro players installed before January 2017, you will need to enable hybrid mode (page 28).
