Just a suggestion if you want something relatively simple for radio streams. PLS playlist file:

Create following in text editor (i.e. Notepad), save with .pls extension (i.e. "Radio.pls).
[playlist]
numberofentries=2
File1=Stream URL
Title1=Whatever title you want
File2=Stream URL
Title2=Whatever title you want
and so on...

If you want them in some specific order and add new ones later you just increment numbers.

@jonas Tonight I have installed Version 1.0.0-11-gb1f70982 and I am happy to report that despite having volume control disabled, for my 96kbps / L24E flac file, the analyzer is analyzing away! 🙂

PS dig my crazy color scheme -- it clashes with everything else visually but I think it fits Strawberry motif to a T!

With Spotify or Deezer support I mean that the player could have a simple search bar for them without unnecessary graphics and other bloat. Youtube and Vimeo support might have an option for the video to watch. Soundcloud and Mixcloud, these also wouldn't need more than a search bar in my opinion. You would need to use your account in all these streaming sites.

@silver-sun Thank you so much, I thought there would probably be a way of doing it, just that I couldn't find it for some reason. Not sure why not, must have been half asleep at the time. Thanks again, much appreciated

+1. As it is right now, changing appearance doesn't do enough.

Yes, a mini player would be great!

@rolf great work! Moved to this Github gist. People could suggest changes there.
Now getting "Error: no such column: rating" (Clementine 1.4 rc1, Strawberry 0.9.3).

BTW, just to make it easier for others, default locations are

./clementine2strawberry.sh ~/.config/Clementine/clementine.db ~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/strawberry.db

It's possible to adjust the equalizer while playing as long as the enable checkbox is checked before you start playback.

@rlkeeney
There is a setting in the collection and playlist settings to enable if you have Qt version 5.15.0 or higher.

@damian101 I copy the stream of DCA and AC3 streams from a DVD, into mp4a and m4a files, as a last resort, to avoid transcoding. Strawberry can play both of these.

I also compress DSD streams losslessly using WavPack. Strawberry can't play them, compressed or not. But to be fair, its closest GTK alternative Quod Libet, also can't play them. I think the only reliable music library based player for these is MPD. It'll even convert it to DoP if you need it to.

But when the stream is PCM, I just transcode to FLAC. It's lossless anyway, so nothing changes.

If you're not willing to go through the trouble of finding a player that can play TrueHD audio, doesn't it make more sense to transcode to FLAC? Since it's lossless, technically it should be fine. There must be a way to get MPlayer to do this. (It can convert audio to WAV; however by default it downsamples to 2 channels @ 48kHz). FLAC can handle multiple channels, high bit depths, and high sample rates, so long as they're PCM.

It might seem possible to use ffmpeg to transcode the PCM audio, but apparently it only supports one channel configuration for surround, so channels are switched around. Just set the bit depth and sample rate on mplayer, and output to a WAV file.

Here's the command I used for Ola Gjeilo's Piano Improvisations:

mplayer br://[title] -bluray-device [disc mount path] -benchmark -vc null -vo null -aid [audio ID] -chapter [start chapter]-[end chapter] -ao pcm:fast:file=[output path]

You might need to switch things around. Replace the square brackets as needed.

It does the job one chapter and title at a time; if you don't set an end chapter, you'll end up with a file with all the chapters concatenated.

Also, bdinfo will print out the audio IDs on the disc. Some distros have bluray_info instead; I don't know if it does the job.

You'll have to figure out the title and chapter using VLC.

If your Blu-ray is encrypted, you'll have to use MakeMKV. It's not free though. Also, the output is an MKV file, so all commands to extract audio from the MKV file will be different; I haven't figured them out yet. MPlayer is very hard to use...
