@jonas Issue Resolved, sorry to post on all three but just in case anyone else was wondering
This fixed the issue with the long username!
Thanks again Jonas!

@jonas Thank you for the answer. I'll wait for the new version, as I think other Debian Bookworm users (yes, MX is based on Bookworm) will also have problems compiling the plugin. That's the only downside to Debian - it's stable, but some packages are older (cargo-c is version 0.29 on Ubuntu, 0.14 on Debian).

But I'm very happy that the plugin can otherwise simply be turned off (with Clementine it got stuck in the login when Spotify no longer supported the plugin). Strawberry is otherwise really great, I'll stick with it. Thanks!

Same problem here. This music player seems amazing but font size is quite small.

@jonas No, I don't think the album is marked as a compilation. I've never marked albums as compilation when ripping them (with Asunder or whatever I used previously). I'm not using the Album Artist tag either (never had to). When I group by Artist/Album (the other grouping I often use besides Album) I see the artists all with their own entry and then the (compilation) albums below them. Apart from 3 or 4 songs I don't have anything labelled as Various Artists.

There is an issue open for this here: https://github.com/flathub/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/issues/94

@timberry
it's a bug, thanks for reporting.
Fixed now https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/07c898581ccdab9d5900911083f84b9b03221a61

I think I might have fixed this issue now, if possible, could you try build the latest master (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry) and see if the issue is fixed.

@pross66japan Oh, I guess I should also say I'm working on Mac Studio running Sonoma.

Finally caught it while running with GST_DEBUG=5. This time, I had paused the track somewhat close to its end. Unfortunately, the logging is on the insane level, so I couldn't copy it all, and I don't even know if it has anything useful. Here is the last part of it, just in case:

@jonas I did the 3. option and everything is ok. Thank you very much.

@JMinE-K Das sieht nach einem Berechtigungs Problem aus bzw. zeige mal den vollen Dateinamen

@trincowski Yes I do (now 😊 )

@idontknow said in How to install latest version of Strawberry on Ubuntu 24.10:

Where did you get your package? From the Strawberry PPA? From the site?
https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/download/1.1.3/strawberry_1.1.3-oracular_amd64.deb

If that's what you are talking about, then it is a bug as it should install cleanly. If not, that's probably what you should be using.

Whoops, you're right. I hadn't noticed there was already a binary for 24.10 on the github release page. Next time I'll look there instead of relying on the website's links. Thanks for pointing that out.

Still not,
All NAS folders are mapped to local, but StrawBerry still can't "see" them (not offered in the "add folder" list)
I'm lost ...

Check that strawberry-tagreader is running with ps -xua | grep strawberry

SMP froze up on my doing a rescan of a large playlist of files, and I had to kill the task in task manager. When I restarted it, I lost my updated view settings. I'm not sure when I'd last rebooted, but it's very possible I'd not restarted SMP or my PC for a couple of weeks.

I was trying to figure out why the playlist view (columns) got reset to default, so I re-configured my view (adding a lot of columns that don't show by default like Disc#, Album Artist, Genre, Year, Grouping, Rating, Comment, Composer, Data Modified, etc., and hiding a number of files that seem rarely useful like bit depth and sample rate). After my view was set the way I wanted it I closed the SMP window, but noticed the process was still running in Task Manager...so I killed the process. That re-set all my setting back to default - wiping out all my tedious organizing and sizing of columns.

Reconfiguring the view and then using the SMP menu (Music --> Quit), all my settings were saved. Even after killing the process the view was fine.

What I learned: it seems SMP only saves playlist view settings when you exit it. If you change your settings and then SMP crashes or gets killed, any view changes will not be saved.

My main goal with this post is to share what I learned with others in case they run into a similar situation OR if they want to make sure their view settings get saved, to let them know to do a Music-->Quit and save by exiting the program that way.

@jonas, is the above explanation of SMP behavior correct? Did I miss anything in my troubleshooting? Also, would it be possible to save view changes more often? A few possible times when I could see it being convenient to save view changes:

Player Window Closes (e.g. via the X in the top right corner), when a Playlist gets Saved, when you change to viewing a different playlist

Another great feature would be to enable saving a configuration / view settings to be able to re-load them easily and/or switch between different view configurations for different tasks (e.g. just listening to music vs. library management vs. extensive tagging vs. removing/comparing duplicate files). That could also be handy for sharing a view setup with others, moving to a new PC or even for debugging in some cases.

I really appreciate this app and the community support.
