@jonas Hi, sorry for the delayed response, this is on Windows 7. I have tested by removing the # from the filename but not the tag, and the file now plays. So the issue is when the # appears in the filename, or the path to the file (for example, I can't play any files in a folder named "#1 Record").

Yes it should work. I used to use a IR remote to control MythTV many years ago.
The config I used: http://files.jkvinge.net/files/lirc/lircrc

@david-qpr
Are you running Big Sur? If so, make sure you have the latest macOS update, there were issues with the first versions.
Does it occur when playing streams, or just local files?
Do you have any devices under the device tab in Strawberry?

Hello everyone,

I have the same problem with Strawberry version 0.9.3 on Windows 10:

My Subsonic-Server is connected and a lot of music is synced. But since recently, when I hit the "refresh library"-Button (German: Bibliothek erneuern), it says it is receiving songs for 1681 albums and gets stuck at 99%. After canceling the process, the library is again not up-to-date.

Does anyone have an idea how I can figure out why this happens?

Best regards!

It depends on the OS.
Linux: ~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/strawberry.db
macOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Strawberry/Strawberry/strawberry.db
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Strawberry\Strawberry\strawberry.db

It's a workaround for the OAuth authentication, because firefox for a while wouldn't redirect to http://localhost, so I made it possible to redirect to https instead. It's not necessary to enable it unless it doesn't work without. Enabling it will make the browser show a certificate warning as the certificate automatically generated by Strawberry for localhost is self-signed.
It's safe to use http, and not https for localhost because the traffic always stays on your computer, it's basically your own web browser that connects to strawberry and sends a code used for authentication. The traffic that goes to last.fm is always https independent of this option of course.

Was playing around on a windows laptop, and i'm getting the exact same behaviour on the windows build.

You need to rip the CD with a program such as k3b first.
k3b is a good CD ripping and burning program.

@rayb
You can ssh with commandline options or MPRIS2/qdbus.

See: strawberry --help

and: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/wiki/Using-MPRIS2-to-get-information-and-control-playback

Update:
After some more digging, I fixed the issue. for anyone, who has similar issues, for me it got solved by switching from Streamurl to playbackinfopastpaywall, while then, getting the "GStreamer is missing plugins error, which can be fixed, by deleting the gstreamer regestry, and running

sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins

@jonas Thanks, I'll give it another try when I get home from work today.

@jonas said in upgrade 08.3?:

Check that you have ALSA and PulseAudio as options under Output.
Check that your soundcard is listed under device.
Try specifically selecting ALSA or PulseAudio and the device.

Working perfectly now, thank you enormously 🙂
