The pre-loading starts 5 seconds before the end of the track, if you seek after that, it's not enough time to buffer the next track to make it gap-less.

The settings were removed in 1.0.12. So you would have to downgrade to 1.0.11.

But maybe the workaround using qt6ct works for you too.

@jonas thank you! A fantastic reply. I went for adding the backports and, as you thought, strawberry is available as a result.
All installed and ready to go. Thanks again.

@jonas Yes i tested the last buid on another computer where i don't deleted the db and it is working also

If this is the same issue as https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1140, it should be fixed now. Test with the latest from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

You can run cmake with extra -D parameters to specify the location of taglib.
Configure using TAGLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS, TAGLIB_LIBRARY_DIRS and TAGLIB_LIBRARIES.

To find the include directory, look for the directory containing tag.h and use the parent directory of the "taglib" directory.
To find the library directory, look for libtag.dylib.

Something like this:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt6/lib/cmake" -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON -DUSE_BUNDLE=ON -DICU_ROOT="/usr/local/opt/icu4c" -DTAGLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/include" -DTAGLIB_LIBRARY_DIRS="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/lib" -DTAGLIB_LIBRARIES="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/lib/libtag.dylib"

I didn't test this, modify the dirs if they are wrong.

@jonas Hello! I also have a similar problem, though with a different set up.

Ubuntu 20.04 & 22.04 (Just upgraded- same problem on both distros)
JDS Labs Element II DAC/Amp
Brave & Firefox browsers

Strawberry Backend Settings:
Output to a sound card via ALSA
Device JDS Labs Element II USB Audio

hw:1,0

ALSA plugin: hw selected, out of the following options

hw plughw pcm

I'm trying to play high resolution FLAC files (192khz/24bit), so I'd prefer to avoid downsampling to 48khz if possible.

Thank you for your time, and thanks for the work you and the other developers put into strawberry- I wouldn't want to use anything else. 🙂

@Miguel-Ruiz Fluthub appears to be experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment. It has been reported via Matrix and IRC.

Note that the stable version of Strawberry is several releases behind the 1.0.14 release.

On Ubuntu you might want to add Jonas Kvinge's PPA for an up-to-date version.

@jonas Guess I'll have to stick to Clementine.

@drichard58
This is probably related to gvfs, I suggest to mount the SMB in fstab.

@drbldrbl
You need to give more information about the problem if you want help here.
What audio files and tags, does the taglib utility read the files?
Try dragging a file to the playlist and see what error you get there.

@Starmanager
I don't understand what you mean here. I don't plan to make a new release any time soon unless one or more critical issues are found.
