@justsomedude
It looks fine, you already have the PPA repository.

@jonas ah shoot that sucks thank you

I've found solution. After updating fedora 41 to 42, extension "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" stopped working because it has not been updated yet to support Fedora 42. This extensions is responsible adding the support for tray icons. After installing the newest version from another source and enabling it I'm able to run Strawberry in background.

@jonas "date" was a spell check error I didn't catch.

@jonas fabulous stuff, sorted, cheers mate

@strawt
I notice that the appindicator is installed in /home/tony/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, maybe the extension needs to be updated or reinstalled after upgrading to Fedora 42 and a new Gnome version?
I suggest to ask Fedora or Gnome, they probably know this better.

@Biod-x
You need to enable it under Tools / Settings / Notifications

Linux Distro: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.8

I was also running into this today. Have to set album art twice for every album, since the first never applies correctly.
I'm editing audio files with no metadata so I've been adding song name, artist, and album info before searching for and applying the album art, then saving.

Sometimes it appears to have stuck, and then I'll see the song again later and the album art has reverted back to what it was before I changed it, which seems to be an image randomly chosen from the album art directory.

@jonas you are a gem thank you so much!

@PeterB Sorry!! Strawberry Ver 1.2.7, Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.

@mrbluebudo
check the old version at github
curl -O -L https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/download/1.1.3/strawberry_1.1.3-jammy_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i strawberry_1.1.3-jammy_amd64.deb

sudo apt --broken install

@rikosi While this isn't exactly what you're looking for, enabling the moodbar feature and setting it to be displayed in the track progress bar does communicate what the track sounds like visually and lets you scrub through it. It does help signify changes to the track like the drop and quiet parts, although it's not quite as easy to interpret as a waveform.

I had lots of problems with the FlatPak version 1.0.23.

I'm still running Linux Mint 21.1 Vera (base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy).
When I realized how out of date the package was, I installed from repository.
https://linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-strawberry-on-ubuntu-linux/

Then I had to move my library and all data to the newer location.

In the old FlatPak version, the following were in ~/.var/app/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry
albumcovers/
collectionalbumcovers/
strawberry.db
strawberry.db.bak

I uninstalled the FlatPak version of strawberry then installed newer version (1.1.3), from repository, as above.
Then I moved those db files and folders to ~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/

And everything works for me.

Good luck!

I have had luck using touch to update the modified date of the artist folder. When I invoke "Update changed collection folders", it then seems to scan all albums and song within.

songs_fts

Newer versions do not use songs_fts, did you downgrade strawberry to an old release?

That did the trick! Downloaded the latest Ubuntu deb file (I'm running Linux Mint) and installed it and all is well now!

There must've been a package downgrade when I did the upgrade from Mint 21.3 to Mint 22.1. I believe it does sometimes downgrade packages t what is in the Mint Repos to help prevent issues so that must be what happened.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

@jonas I unmounted it, but the error still occured. I couldn't find anything else that seemed to be using it. Any other ideas?

@jonas
Sorry for the delay,
