@edward I figured out the issue with settings not being saved. For some reason the config file, strawberry.conf in .config, was owned by root so Strawberry was denied write permission.. I changed owner to Pi and issue was resolved.

@jonas
I can confirm that version: 0.8.5.158.g5256d795-Qt6-x64 is unaffected and the library scan works normally!

Thank you for your work and the quick fix!

@mataha
The code is there to workaround a gstreamer bug.
However directsound is deprecated and will be removed sooner or later so it's not a priority to fix it.
It will be resolved when we switch to wasapi2.

+1 for this request (but I wont build myself)
I made a similar feature request also here ... unfortunately without any feedback until now...

I hoped at least something like in the cover manager is already implemented 😕

Cheers, Robert

@readingsnail
The ones for yesterday were broken because of missing plugins.
Try the one from today, 0.8.5.131 or newer: https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/macos

Hello!!

I have the same problem when I switch between headphones and Mac speakers: system volume doesn't work and I can't use headphones again until I restart Strawberry.

Thank you!!

@beescopy It works for me, ask libre.fm why they reject your scrobbles.

High CPU usage on Mac is due to a macOS-specific QT5 problem with the Track/Playlist screen and scrolling/interacting with it when on a high resolution display (such as your Retina screen on your MacBook) - you should find that CPU usage will drop and performance will noticeably improve if you resize your Strawberry window to something very small.

I did have an issue ticket raised on this issue on the Strawberry GitHub page, which was closed as it was deemed to be unresolvable under QT5, and I'm trying to get it reopened/looked at again, now that QT6 has been released (which may have a fix for this CPU usage/performance issue).

@philevans
This is probably related to the same issue with high CPU as some others have experienced on macOS, while it works fine for others. Performance in in general is worse on macOS then on Linux and Windows.
Unfortunately there has not been much interest in contributing to Strawberry from the macOS community over the past 3 years Strawberry has been developed.

It's not possible on Linux, don't know about other OSes.

@lvsunz37
Your problem is unrelated to the above topic which is solved, so I suggest to open a new topic for your problem
All plugins in the Windows installer should be bundled, so if they suddenly disappear along with your music files, then I would suspect a hardware disk failure.

@johnsv
I'm getting a message the GStreamer plugin is missing but the link you used isn't working. Many of my music files were wiped out. I have them backed up but I don't know how to reload from backup. Can you help? Thank you.

@atomtm on Linux it might work if you mount the sftp through fstab.

@terrior In Tools / Settings / Behavior. "When double clicking a song will..", you can change "Never start playing" it to start playing.
It will then immediately play the song, although it will still be added to the playlist.

@yvanxx55 Not sure how this happened, but removing and re-adding the collection directories should fix it.
Otherwise you need to run SQL queries to remove the duplicates.

@arooni The equalizer settings will only be applied once you check the enabled checkbox before starting playback.
