I'm not so sure 7th gen iPods will work, I think it might be because Apple changed their database to use encryption to prevent other software from using it.

@jonas Many thanks for your reply and the pointer to the other issue. I have GStreamer 1.22.10. It does appear to be related to issue 1376. That gave me an idea. If I un-tick "Fade out on pause / fade in on resume", the problem does not occur. Excellent!

Thanks again.
Regards Stephen

You need to enable the rating column, right click on the playlist columns (track, title, album, artists, etc), and check rating, it's in the bottom of the list.

@jpirie
That looks like a different issue than @rlkeeney had.
What version of GStreamer do you have?

@VSofter

I can reproduce the issue with wasapi exclusive mode playing low distorted audio, reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/issues/3339

I can periodically reproduce a issue with ASIO where the track is played at lower speed, have to look more into that.

@jonas udisksctl dump as user works fine

@animatedjay: Which is the playback state when you restart Strawberry or the whole machine, Playing, Paused, Stopped?

I'm running a Mini PC with Manjaro Linux as my "stereo" with a playlist containing the whole music collection in random order, Strawberry in autostart, and have "Resume playback on start" activated as well.
In Paused mode, restarting the program or rebooting the computer makes Strawberry starting playback immediately, in Stopped mode it also starts in Stopped mode again, so for me that option works as expected.

@jonas Thanks; I'll try to redo the tags with EasyTag

Just realised that it was my own stupid fault. Adjusted the opacity and there it is!

@jonas Not on the list. I disabled pulse so not sure if that's a problem.

@vikingo90
The error message is not in English, so it's hard for me to understand, but it looks to me like it does not negotiate the format and sample rate to a format supported by your DAC. If you are using the ALSA hw option, try using the pcm option instead, this will resample to 48khz

I don't have much experience with NTFS on linux, and I haven't tested Strawberry with NTFS on Linux, I'm not sure if the file watcher will work. I suggest to start strawberry from a terminal and look for any debug output. Does it freeze on playback or just after starting it?

@jonas

Thanks! I had a bunch of tracks with unintentional silence, or others with minutes of trailing silence that needed fixing, and the moodbar wasn't fixed after the file was.

I'll try the moodbar directory purge trick later this evening.

I agree with the rsgain recommendation. In my search for a ReplayGain utility, I had tried MusicBrainz Picard (flatpak), which uses rsgain as its backend for ReplayGain. I found Picard to be somewhat cumbersome, though. I just wanted a simple utility.

Unfortunately, Linux Mint 21.3 (my distro) does not meet the dependencies for the current version of rsgain's deb package. I would need to compile it from source.

Being relatively new to Linux, and not trained in computing, I had hoped for a GUI application (rsgain is command line only), but I've been dipping my toe into the command line more and more, so I waded in a little further -- and with rsgain's excellent instructions, I was able to successfully compile and install the program!

It's a steeper learning curve, to be sure, but once I figured out how to tweak the configuration, I was able to achieve scan results identical to what I had generated using MusicBee or foobar2000.

I think rsgain will be my go-to for volume normalization. Thanks for the recommendation!

@jonas said in v 1.0.23 application launch fault "ucrtbase.dll" on Windows 11 64-bit:

The other alternative is to install version 1.0.4 (https://files.strawberrymusicplayer.org/StrawberrySetup-1.0.4-msvc-x64.exe) first, start strawberry once and exit, this will upgrade the database schema to a supported version, then install the latest version (1.0.23) again.

I choose this path to maintain the db contents going forward. Everything went flawlessly, and v1.0.23 now up and running! Cheers 🙂
