The forum isn't dedicated to mac. But there have been more issues specific to macOS than Linux or Windows, primarily because I don't use mac and it's been harder for me to fix those issues.
I estimate that we have around 80% Linux users, than only 20% mac and windows users. I know this because of web statistics, e-mail I receive and issues reported on GitHub, etc. It's also mostly advertised through Linux distros and web sites reviewing linux software.
Strawberry uses standardized locations for dotfiles under .config and .share.

@jonas I'm new to MacOS and somehow managed to install the current version of Strawberry on my new Macbook Air with the M1 chip. I am having some trouble where I copy new folders (albums) of mp3's or flac's into the folder :"Strawberry Tracks" which Strawberry monitors, re-start Strawberry and sometimes the new tracks show up in the library. sometimes not. I'm new to MacOS snd haven't been able to figure out if my problems are due to Strawberry not liking the M1 chip, or what.

@fruity Changing to playbackinfopostpaywall worked for me on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) after I installed gstreamer-plugins-bad e.g. sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad

The easiest to do is to delete the collection directories, and then re-add the them, that will however loose playcounts, ratings and mess up the playlists (if you have any).
So if you need to keep ratings, playcounts and playlists, you can do it with SQL queries.
See:

This was a Qt bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-94839

@bobkugler
What OS, file system, audio format and ripper you used?
What version of Strawberry?
If you are on Linux or macOS you can run strawberry on the terminal and do a full rescan, then see if there are any errors shown on the terminal.

@jonas thanks for your answer.

glib-networking is installed, however, I tried with one of the streams and it wasn't working.
maybe I changed something about the root certificates as you told me because I removed the snap version from my pc and installed the deb package and now TIDAL is working again!

Many thanks!

There is currently no support for devices on Windows so the devices tab isn't there on Windows.

@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").

@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

@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!
