@auran64 MusicBee is a great application. That was my choice when I was fooling around with Windows. Wish it was available for other platforms. It's very powerful and full-featured. I'm not surprised it had the features you describe.

But Strawberry is pretty darned good, and in some ways I enjoy its more stripped down interface, now that I've gotten used to it.

I started with iTunes on a Mac, which, in spite of all the complaints about it, I liked very much. Strawberry is focused on playlists. MusicBee and iTunes seemed to be more focused on the library.

Not exactly apples and oranges, but Strawberry, and Clementine, from which it is forked, take a different approach, and it's probably unfair to make direct comparisons.

Cheers.

I resolved my problem in Linux Mint by editing preferences in Nemo.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Behavior and in Media Handling uncheck "Automatically mount removeable media when inserted and on startup"

Strawberry now can access files on my phone.

My apologies if I caused any confusion.

@jonas said in Qobuz playback - Invalid Request Signature parameter:

@joysofjoyc4
Qobuz does not accept the signature parameter. It has something to do with the app secret. Either the app secret could be wrong, or revoked, or it could be that QObuz requires that specific app secret to be used in the specific way. I know that there was a app secret that had to be Xor'ed in a special way.
It is not as easy to pick up an app secret for QObuz as they use MD5.

Many thanks for your reply and continuous support, Jonas!

Since the app secret is hashed, is picking it up even doable?

error dissapeared for me after switching Stream URL method from streamurl to playbackinfopostpaywall in the tidal settings tab

@jonas Hi, sorry for the delayed response, this is on Windows 7. I have tested by removing the # from the filename but not the tag, and the file now plays. So the issue is when the # appears in the filename, or the path to the file (for example, I can't play any files in a folder named "#1 Record").

I got a similar problem these days. I didn't link to Tidal directly. My Tidal songs are local FLAC files that are downloaded by AudKit Tidal converter. Basically, they are just common FLAC files. The EQ seems not working with them. Any solution?

Have you made it successfully? I just download some Spotify music with Tunelf Spotibeat Music Converter. Can I transfer them to strawberry directly? or just need some other tools to help me?

@buffalo
Yes it should work. I used to use a IR remote to control MythTV many years ago.
The config I used: http://files.jkvinge.net/files/lirc/lircrc

@auran64
In ~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/strawberry.db

@david-qpr
Are you running Big Sur? If so, make sure you have the latest macOS update, there were issues with the first versions.
Does it occur when playing streams, or just local files?
Do you have any devices under the device tab in Strawberry?

Hello everyone,

I have the same problem with Strawberry version 0.9.3 on Windows 10:

My Subsonic-Server is connected and a lot of music is synced. But since recently, when I hit the "refresh library"-Button (German: Bibliothek erneuern), it says it is receiving songs for 1681 albums and gets stuck at 99%. After canceling the process, the library is again not up-to-date.

Does anyone have an idea how I can figure out why this happens?

Best regards!

@jonas Hello, I would like to disable the alternating colors in the playlist too. Is there an estimated release date for the stable version containing this new feature?

@lvsunz37
It depends on the OS.
Linux: ~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/strawberry.db
macOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Strawberry/Strawberry/strawberry.db
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Strawberry\Strawberry\strawberry.db

@jonas I think the HLS decoder is not included in the installer. I would appreciate if you check and include it in the next Windows build. Thank you very much for your time~! 🙂
