  @jonas Those are excellent news! MarvinTM1 was really charitable by buying you a whole Mac computer just to continue with the Strawberry builds. Have fun! And be patient, I know from experience macOS can be tricky...

  I just wanted to add that I have this on my machine too, using strawberry 1.0.18 compiled from gentoo repository. I believe the reason why this happens is because my music files are on a mergerfs mountpoint and this behaves in some ways similar to your nfs/smb mounts. not sure what exactly is different for those "non block devices", for the moment I do full database rebuilds from time to time when I add new music

  It would , at least for my usage of strawberry, to have an option to display track numbers in the collection.
  Example scenario:
  You have this huge (284 track) album https://www.naxos.com/CatalogueDetail/?id=VOX-ED-5996
  Use smart playlist and it selects amongst others (say) track 252 - a prelude for which there's a matching fugue. I try to add the fugue so that I listen to both, that involves using 'Show in Collection' and then hunting through that display to find track 253, the scrolling down would be a lot easier with the option of having track numbers. Maybe a workaround (at the moment) is to instead use 'Show in file browser' and then - assuming the track is part of the filename - drag the track into the collection.

  Hi,

  I'm a maintainer of the projectM visualizer library. We've been working on making projectM better in many ways over the past two years or so, and finally released a new major version (4.0) back in April '23. This new version fixed a few bugs and improved the rendering quality, but was mainly focused on rewriting the build system (now only using CMake) and creating a proper API. libprojectM now supports building as a shared library on all platforms, and has a stable and clean C API instead of requiring direct access to the internal C++ code, which was a big issue for devs in all previous releases.

  Clementine used a forked copy of a very old projectM version, which was never updated and had numerous bugs and performance issues, so removing it from Strawberry was surely a good thing. Yet I think many users would like to have a visualizer again, and with the upcoming 4.1 release projectM will be (mostly) compatible with the latest Milkdrop release, support previously unimplemented preset features like loops and megabuf.

  The API won't change between 4.0 and 4.1, so if anyone has time to integrate it into Strawberry, you may start right away. If there are any questions, head over to our Discord or post in our GitHub discussion board, I'll be notified there. I try to check this forum from time to time, but expect longer delays here.

  @cookie A bit of a threadcromancy but I also ran into some issues there and made the account to suggest fixes

  Double vs single quotes got me but also after importing, loads of my playlists were empty. This is because not all of my stuff is within the Library DB. So on the statement where you're adding to the playlist_items table, there are two considerations:

  As OP made a case, the filename column in Clementine is NULL for Library type entries, and you need to insert '' instead.

  ADDITIONALLY, you DO want to insert also where type = 'File'.

  I'm bad with SQL so i just ran the thing twice instead of looking up how to inline OR, but yeah, this needs to get fixed in the wiki too

  @PeterB said in Translators needed:

  @jonas
  I suggest an update to the wiki with an extra step.
  https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/How_to_translate
  Maybe should read

  Sign up .... Join relevant language team(s) Start translating .....

  Thanks, the wiki is updated.
  Since I was the one that registered the project I didn't have to join a language team.

  @AntEater and @timlance I came across this topic searching for how to output audio to AirPlay (or even anything but the internal speakers on my MacBookAir) and I finally figured it out and am posting my findings here for anyone else who might search and find this topic:

  Preferences/
  Backend/
  Under "Audio Output":
  Output: "Output to a sound card on MacOS"
  Device: "Automatically select"

  Of course, you can select any of the available devices under the "Device:" menu, but the "Automatically select" option appears to follow what output option (including AirPlay speakers) I have currently selected under my "Sound" menu options on the menu bar.

  Note - any changes in preferences didn't go into effect until I stopped and started whatever I was listening to.

  Great job developers!!
