Then someone needs to volunteer for it, as this is a community project.
I have enough work with just supporting the 3 most recent macOS releases.
High Sierra is no longer supported by Apple, Homebrew has also discontinued it. Need to build all dependencies manually.

@jonas said in remove duplicates - overzealous:

You can attach them here or send them to me on e-mail. I think my e-mail is listed on the profile (and in the about of Strawberry).

Thanks Jonas.
I can't upload them here - not enough rights apparently.
As workaround I looked up your address via your Github site and sent a private message from my gmail account (subject "strawberry").

@seejay
Which flavour of Linux are you using?

I tried Ubuntu Studio, but it seems not to be that compatible with Strawberry

I've found that Linux OS is always faster than Windows or Mac. However, running Strawberry makes operations slow down

For instance the Update when the program is started takes 30-40 mins

It was presumptuous of me to speak for the community at large - my apologies! What I meant was why hadn't I heard about it sooner, based on my linux audiophile quest 😊

Thanks again,

Ian

It's for debugging, you can query the database directly.
Example you can do:

Ahh, I'll bet this is related to Issue #511 on GitHub, "Songs added to playlist are not sorted as they should".

I guess you can't please everyone, but I actually found the lack of sorting new playlist items useful, as I built playlists. Often I would add items and then decide I didn't want them in the playlist. By having them all at the end of the playlist, in the order that I added them, I could easily keep track of things.

I hope you will reconsider and put the sort arrows back.

Removing them did nothing to change the behavior, and I think showing them actually provides something useful. My opinion.

The only thing we have so far is the Wiki on GitHub: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/wiki
If someone wants to help with this it would be appreciated.
I was thinking of a MediaWiki site (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) and perhaps a YouTube channel that can also help spread the word and get more active contributors and funding.
I can create the Wiki and the channel if someone volunteers to help with it.
If someone is interested in helping with it, contact me and we can discuss it.
Strawberry is a community based project with limited funding. You can become a GitHub sponsor to help fund the project.

The last release we have for Xenial is 0.5.5 still available on https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases
It's not possible to use a newer version without upgrading Qt and sqlite3 to newer versions.
To use a newer version you need to compile from source and upgrade Qt and sqlite3, maybe those are available through PPA's.
