Does gst-inspect-1.0 libav | grep ape show Monkey's Audio decoder?
Does the file play using gst-launch-1.0?
Did you try to clear the gstreamer plugin cache? Delete ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin

@jonas Thanks. That's what I figured. I never liked that anyway. I say "played" is actually played not sorta played. 🙂

No logs were created when closed.... and now it works just fine.
I don't get it. For weeks this has had an issue, then you reply to my post and then it magically works.

Thank you for your help.

Solved:

With this the connection from strawberrymusic-player and calfeffects are stable.

@jonas Found this website that help me resolve my issue.

Simple fix. I hope this helps someone else who is having similar issues.

@ben2talk
The pre-loading starts 5 seconds before the end of the track, if you seek after that, it's not enough time to buffer the next track to make it gap-less.

@Cooker_8872
The settings were removed in 1.0.12. So you would have to downgrade to 1.0.11.

But maybe the workaround using qt6ct works for you too.

@jonas thank you! A fantastic reply. I went for adding the backports and, as you thought, strawberry is available as a result.
All installed and ready to go. Thanks again.

@jonas Yes i tested the last buid on another computer where i don't deleted the db and it is working also

If this is the same issue as https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1140, it should be fixed now. Test with the latest from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

You can run cmake with extra -D parameters to specify the location of taglib.
Configure using TAGLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS, TAGLIB_LIBRARY_DIRS and TAGLIB_LIBRARIES.

To find the include directory, look for the directory containing tag.h and use the parent directory of the "taglib" directory.
To find the library directory, look for libtag.dylib.

Something like this:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt6/lib/cmake" -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON -DUSE_BUNDLE=ON -DICU_ROOT="/usr/local/opt/icu4c" -DTAGLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/include" -DTAGLIB_LIBRARY_DIRS="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/lib" -DTAGLIB_LIBRARIES="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/lib/libtag.dylib"

I didn't test this, modify the dirs if they are wrong.

@jonas Hello! I also have a similar problem, though with a different set up.

Ubuntu 20.04 & 22.04 (Just upgraded- same problem on both distros)
JDS Labs Element II DAC/Amp
Brave & Firefox browsers

Strawberry Backend Settings:
Output to a sound card via ALSA
Device JDS Labs Element II USB Audio

hw:1,0

ALSA plugin: hw selected, out of the following options

hw plughw pcm

I'm trying to play high resolution FLAC files (192khz/24bit), so I'd prefer to avoid downsampling to 48khz if possible.

Thank you for your time, and thanks for the work you and the other developers put into strawberry- I wouldn't want to use anything else. 🙂
