@blofeld You need to report this to flatpak https://github.com/flathub/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry

@hehemrin Fixed now

@biffster I have had the same experience.

@rlkeeney I'm talking about a forward slash (/) not a backslash (\), like in Lionel Hampton's "Golden Vibes / Silver Vibes". It's probably the same issue with artist names with slashes in them, like AC/DC (which I don't play). The problem is that I don't try to create the file, Strawberry does when it downloads a cover and tries to save it in the music folder. I have set Strawberry to "Save album covers in album directory" with the default pattern %albumartist-%album -- which doesn't work when there's a slash in the album name. Then it just throws up an error message saying something to the effect that the image can't be stored. This is clearly a bug, and it should be easy to remedy by replacing the slash with another character, like an underscore, before saving.

@rlkeeney I restored from a backup done on 31 December 2021. It looks good so far. I only lost around 150 ratings. One thing I never liked about storing data in the files was how long it took to run a backup every file I listened to was changed and got backed up. So I'm going to do the fingerprinting run a backup and see how that goes.

@twist I second your words! I am brand-new to Strawberry, a reformed Clementine survivor, and Strawberry was already audio app #1 in my book these past several days. Now it is officially version #1 too, hurrah!

Hi, there is a dep package at opensuse https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:stevepassert or and select "Grab Binary packages directly https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=strawberry&project=home%3Astevepassert https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevepassert/Debian_10/armhf/strawberry_0.9.3-0.1~obs_armhf.deb I use it on my Pi4 with lite Desktop and it works without any issues so far

@dcot 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?

@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!

@jonas @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

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.
