I think it should be possible to enable D-Bus on macOS.
Some instructions here: https://github.com/zbentley/dbus-osx-examples/blob/master/installation/README.md

The macOS versions of Strawberry is compiled with MPRIS2 D-Bus support.
I have never tested it though, so I can't say if it works or not.

@jonas ah. okee doke. Thanks!!

@jonas Sorry for the delayed response. Just downloaded the newest Catalina version and the covers are all showing up. Fun! Thanks a ton!!

@overcast451 said in Strawberry Crashing Since Last Update:

Updated Strawberry to strawberry-0.8.5-2.136.g87719119.fc32.x86_64.rpm on Fedora 32 (5.10.21-100.fc32.x86_64) - been running all day with no issues!

9 days with zero issues now using the above.

@tibokan
I think maybe it gets stuck if you run make dmg more than once without deleting strawberry.app first.
So to build a second time, remove strawberry.app directory, and run make install and make dmg again.

@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).
