Gapless playback is when there is no gap when transitioning to the next song, it does not strip the actual silent beginning or ending from a song, that's something else, not what's usually considered gapless playback. There is no option or plans to add any feature to strip off silent parts from a song.

@jonas Ah, I see. Probably a good idea. Maybe it's possible to change the tool-tip wording for the uninitiated?

@desputin but I can't for the life of me find out how to get Qobuz up and running on Strawberry!

@swagstaff said in Continue High Sierra os x 10.13 support?:

We have to patch some Qt6-specific code to build with Qt5. Edit the following files:
../3rdparty/macdeployqt/main.cpp
../3rdparty/macdeployqt/shared.cpp
And change ALL instances of
QLibraryInfo::path
to
QLibraryInfo::location
(A quick way to patch:)
$ sed -i '.bak' 's/QLibraryInfo::path/QLibraryInfo::location/g' ../3rdparty/macdeployqt/{main,shared}.cpp

These steps can be skipped with Strawberry 0.9.3 and up; the code was fixed to check for Qt5 and use the proper function.

I noticed that the page was updated. Thanks! 🙂

![@bwh1969 said in Can an ARM version for Raspberry (Buster) become an official resource soon?:

I use 2 Pi Zeros for music servers and the process as one can imagine is painfully slow even overclocked at 1.1 GHz, as in it has been going on 4 hours and it is at 57% built.

I have been running Strawberry MP on a couple of Rasberry Pi Zeros for about 18 months (with Pimoroni PHAT sound cards) and I love it. Since losing Clementine with the upgrade to Buster I hated VLC and didn't like Rythymbox much either, then SMP came to the rescue, with much appreciated help from Jonas when I got out of my depth with all the compiling stuff. [If it was swimming I would be in the learner pool with water-wings on].

Both my RPi Zeros are physically built into other hardware (e.g. a re-purposed TV sound bar) and are somewhat of a hassle to get at, so compiling on the PiZero is the easiest - and slowest approach - but if you have access to the PiZero's why not do your installing on a Pi4 (or better still a Pi400 which is a bit faster) and then just remove the SD card and shove it into the target PiZero? They are very backward<>forward compatible.

To test this I just reformated an old SD card, did a fresh install of Raspi OS (Buster), then updated it with the packages listed here: https://github.com/jonaski/strawberry-buildbot/blob/master/worker-debian-buster/Dockerfile [Thanks Jonas for pointing me towards that].

I then followed the recipe in README.md, on my Pi400 and it was all cooked in about 20 minutes (plus some time for me to correct a missed step or two). Transferring the SD card to a fresh PiZero it then played straight out of the box, (via HDMI as the bare Zero doesn't have sound out). Hopefully this approach might save you a few hours waiting for the Pi Zero to struggle through the process.

Bottom Line: Yes I agree a Debian package in the Raspberry Pi repos would be Great!. I did suggest that in a RPi 'sound and video' forum over a year ago, but no one took any notice. So can we rally some support to try again because I am sure there are lots of RPi users out there not knowing what they are missing. And I'm sure Jonas would be happy if someone else was to do the Pi stuff for him us! 🙂

@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'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.
