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 ...

@MarieSophieSG
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.

Debian now has Qt 6.7.2 and the problem is solved. Thanks.

There is a bug in the most recent versions, it should be fixed now, but I need to make a new release.
If you are on linux you can try the ones at https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

@npa
Yes, that will work as long as the collection directory is the same, or at least a symblic link, you can find the database location here: https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_checkhttps://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_check

@msrex I checked this now. I see that there is a bug, not updating the song when disc is changed, but I see it's correctly updating when title and track is changed.
But I don't know if that bug could explain what you saw happening, it could happen if the song was ripped while strawberry was running, and disc was updated after the song was initially read from disc.
If you manually tagged the disc later, or the ripping program tagged it later.
If you see way to still reproduce the bug without updating the disc, I'd like to know so I can fix it.

@jonas said in Incomplete library:

find ~ -type f ( -iname 'strawberry.db' -or -iname '*strawberry.plist' ) 2>/dev/null

Thank you very much! It worked.

@Psimon
I suggest to report the issue here: https://github.com/flathub/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/issues

@koko this seems to no longer work, as sign ins get blocked.

I ran Fiddler again, and this time got a thing called x-tidal-token that I figured must be the right thing. However, I entered it along with my uname and password, and it spits out failure to authenticate. I can only assume I'm doing something wrong... ?
