Hiya. Total noob here. How do I use this to extract the necessary info for Oauth on Strawberry?

@chrisc
Only audio files will be filtered.
You need to mount the NAS to a mountpoint.

@yelpspoon
Run strawberry from the terminal to see any output. Open a terminal and type:

/Applications/strawberry.app/Contents/MacOS/strawberry

Check that strawberry is enabled/allowed in the accessibility system settings.

@yahyah24
Could be unsupported audio filetypes.
It will also skip any directory that is hidden (.dot), or has files named ".nomedia" or ".nomusic".

@robyn

Make sure the desktop file is installed, normally it should be:

/usr/share/applications/strawberry.desktop

Make sure that strawberry is installed in PATH, and that it isn't a different version from the one you launch.

sudo find /usr -type f -name 'strawberry'

Make sure the "tidal" URL scheme is correctly registered to strawberry, run the following command in a terminal while strawberry is open:

xdg-open tidal://test

This should add "tidal://test" to the active playlist. If that works, then it means authentication with TIdal should be possible.

If it still doesn't work, then try close firefox and reopen, or set a different web browser as default.

@jonas said in bluetooth failled:

Why is it impossible to use? Do the device appear in Tools / Settings / Backend / Device list?

Hello Jonas,

Thank you for your quick retour.

Everything is ok,but I have to modify the bluetooth device in the parameters each time I start the software and it is not possible to control the volume via the MAC.

A solution?

Thanks and happy New Year

There was a bug when organizing songs and moving between different collection directories, it was duplicating the songs in the database. It is fixed now.

@jonas

according to https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/tag/0.8.5

it says "Add command line option to play a playlist based on name."

i assume this doesn't work with tidal correct?

any timeline for that feature? i'm lazy so i love the curated playlist features on tidal.

many thanks for the amazing software!!!

EDIT: tried
strawberry -l https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/65670802-cc24-4eee-879a-ce034e318d61

and got "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."

nice to see i can fail as well as the OP did

@bbroughton
Musixmatch is the only provider we don't use their API directly for searching, because their API requires payment.
So we have to guess the URL for the lyric for a specific song, ie.:
https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Strawbs/Autumn
We probably have to do some sort of conversion for non-latin characters.
If you can find out how to convert the artist and song title to a URL then I can change it in code.

@cwkiii
Are you sure it's the tag, and not the filename?
However I can play songs with both # in filename and tag fine here.
What OS?

@adityasubathu

The transfer rate from the NAS to the computer is 11 mb/sec
The (Dell) laptop has an SSD, is an i5 and has 16Gb RAM
Since Friday its been "Updating collection"
Running from a terminal window, it gets to 84850 and then stops. JRiver shows there are 86998 tracks
I can play a track if I click on the file name, but cannot create any Smart Playlists

Don't want to keep bothering you with what seems minor problems

@jonas Yes, indeed. Thanks, all compiled just fine and playing nicely now as I write this. So appreciated, thank you again!.

I notice dsun above saying 'I'm running Manjaro ARM on it and Strawberry is in the software repository.' How do we get Raspberry Pi OS to include it too? - Strawberry is so much better than VLC for music. Nicer UI, album covers, remembers playlists etc etc. It would be a real 'plus' for the RPi community.

@rik said in File panel occasionally disappears.:

Kubuntu

I'm not familiar with Kubuntu, what Qt style do they use?
It does not look like standard Fusion style, so maybe they use a buggy custom Qt style.
Try setting the style in appearance settings to fusion.
