@niko Please see this thread.

@shilmaz You are missing a gstreamer plugin called bs2b, part of gstreamer bad. Install that or uncheck "Improve headphone listening of stereo audio records" in the backend settings.

@jonas Perhaps you should consider including that information and also indicating which version each system is no longer supported on. Regards

@nakau Does gst-inspect-1.0 libav | grep ape show Monkey's Audio decoder? Does the file play using gst-launch-1.0? Did you try to clear the gstreamer plugin cache? Delete ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin

@jonas Thanks. That's what I figured. I never liked that anyway. I say "played" is actually played not sorta played.

@jonas No logs were created when closed.... and now it works just fine. I don't get it. For weeks this has had an issue, then you reply to my post and then it magically works. Thank you for your help.

Solved: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Config-JACK#calfjackhost-example With this the connection from strawberrymusic-player and calfeffects are stable.

@jonas Found this website that help me resolve my issue. https://www.vuepilot.com/support/article/fixing-raspberry-pi-audio-issues/ Simple fix. I hope this helps someone else who is having similar issues.

@ben2talk 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.

@Cooker_8872 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/

@lorenzolamasse 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.
