@jonas I would not say that I completely gave up, but I just started a new position in a company so I lost that whole free time to mess with this particular thing

I went making https://github.com/guprobr/WakkaQt instead to learn a bit more Qt before resuming this task
The last ideas we discussed, I never tried... but the last post on projectM made me feel second toughts on the viability of the idea.... anyway, i want to resume this task someday I don't think we should give up but certainly something is missing in the backend inner parts of how Qt works with OpenGL and how projectM works with OpenGL, as it was discussed on the thread on github.

But the first thing i would do is trying with latest Qt LTS, before anything.
Second thing, to try with the same version on Windows!
We have to figure where the problem is. Obviously its a Qt issue, but what made me stop working on it was when SDL window version showed the same issues. That was very disappointing.

PS: sorry to take so long to answer, I just saw this today

It works very well and you can save Strawberry.conf for installation on another system

@jonas I upgraded Fedors from 39 to 40 and it seems to be fixed.

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

I actually notice a problem now with Strawberry and GStreamer 1.18 on Windows where it periodically makes a small "pop" sound (possible jump), not exactly sure what to call it, it occurs circa 4 seconds into the track, but sometimes elsewhere too, similar problem occurs when unpausing consistently each time.
I have only tested with FLAC files, but see that problem only occurs with the FLAC codec, playing the same file works fine using libav codec from within Strawberry. I can't reproduce the problem with gst-launch with either codec.
The problem is gone when downgrading GStreamer to version 1.16.2. So I tried to compile gstreamer using the latest code from git too see if the problem has already been fixed, and the problem appears to be fixed. I can definitely tell it by unpausing. So I'm going to use that until the next stable version of GStreamer is released.
So hopefully this will resolve also the issues reported to by @warbaque and @kaiser_sosai.
The buffering issues are most likely a different problem.

I can confirm that splitting the mbid's by slash and appending them individually to the Json array works. Fixed now (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/d9c4720a3ee776dde2701eac21fd0b51ae50a78a).

Hallelujah Hallelujah

@jonas Since windows version is already built with Qt6.6, cant this be used as a dark mode solution for windows version, at least?

@VSofter

I can reproduce the issue with wasapi exclusive mode playing low distorted audio, reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/issues/3339

I can periodically reproduce a issue with ASIO where the track is played at lower speed, have to look more into that.

@tibokan
I switched to Qt 6 now. 0.8.5.131 and newer are Qt 6 and should be working: https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/macos
(The ones from yesterday are broken because of a problem deploying plugins after I switched to Qt6)

@jonas You cry for no contributions but then you make a year/monthly suscription. WTF? Put a mandatory single payment, man!!

@mipper

The issue with Strawberry leaving open pipelines which leads to open files should be fixed in version 1.2.1. However the new version won't work on Ubuntu 22.04 as Strawberry now requires a newer Qt version than is available on that Ubuntu version, consider upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble).

The "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in" error could be a GStreamer bug, maybe a newer GStreamer version solves that.

@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 Sorry for the delayed response. Just downloaded the newest Catalina version and the covers are all showing up. Fun! Thanks a ton!!

@nonsequitur said in Tidal music catalog is not displayed. "Album .........not found (404) (2001)":

Finally, I have managed to update the collection thanks to the advice of "nonsequitur" to delete the albums that Tidal has been disabling from my mobile app and thus I could finally make all the music appear again in Strawberry.
Many thanks to the advisors and collaborators who have helped me find the solution!

@overcast451 said in Strawberry Crashing Since Last Update:

Updated Strawberry to strawberry-0.8.5-2.136.g87719119.fc32.x86_64.rpm on Fedora 32 (5.10.21-100.fc32.x86_64) - been running all day with no issues!

9 days with zero issues now using the above.

@jonas It appears the setting you mentioned which I have disabled only applies to the library. The problem is with Strawberry placing albums into a Various Artists folder to a synced device. The only album that should be here is the first one, the rest are placed incorrectly.

I would like if Strawberry could strictly follow the Naming Options on the sync settings page when syncing songs. Anything else should be ignored.
My sync Naming Options are;
%albumartist/%album/%track %title.%extension

@astrovark
If you have enabled to save album covers as embedded covers under the covers settings, this can happen, since the cover is saved at the same time the track is played if you have the "Automatically search for album cover" option on.

Again, thank you. I've changed my studio around a bit and basically taken this machine off line. I did learn somethings about using the command line and for that I am very appreciative. Don't worry, as the novice I am I'm sure I'll be back at some point.

Keep well and all the best!

@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 🙂
