Maybe it builds from the git .tar.xz asset not truly directly from git which, if so, you can ignore me.

I had a poke around in the PKGBUILD of the official Arch package, and the source is

source=(git+https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry#tag=$pkgver https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/download/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.xz)

So it does build from the .tar.xz asset (which may be a recent change after the credential thing). The more you know 🤔

Oh i did notice I got rate limited before when trying to search up artists, so that's a nice change! I switched back to non-custom API credentials and can confirm there is no more rate limiting reported in the CLI 🙂

My Spotify tracks still don't play though (getting that same error of resource not found).

I guess some part of my install is just borked... I did try deleting the Strawberry folder in .cache, but no change.

email your android account/gmail to nwremote@zudiewiener.com and I'll add you as a tester with further info

@jonas thanks for the response, my follow-up questions are not judging but trying to understand the needs.

What is the purpose of leaving them off the git repository? Is there a potential for the secrets to be used/abused higher than being obfuscated in the .tar.xz until they are found there?

@jonas Thanks for getting back to me!
I got Strawberry from the Arch Linux extra repo. Coincidentally, the package was updated a few minutes ago to add the missing API credentials part haha, so the part you mention about rebuilding the package (since it's done directly from git I assume) has been done.

This has been resolved 😄

One more thing... It might be a good idea to test with a small batch of files first, rather than the whole collection. Then, check things out in Strawberry and your file manager, to see if everything is organized as you desired.

Hi @johns_scrobbler,

I'm on CachyOS and experiencing the exact same issue.

Scrobbling from Strawberry up to Last.fm works fine for me as well. However, whenever I listen to music on my phone or other devices and want to pull those play counts back into Strawberry, I can't do it because the sync button is no longer available.

It seems two-way fetching/importing is currently unavailable or missing in the newer versions. Hopefully, the developers can bring this feature back soon!

I sometimes find duplicate songs in my list . The only I have found to fix it is to modify the database manually.

I have now completed the Network Remote functionality, and while I wait for the maintainer to review this, I'd appreciate any feedback on this enhancement.

Network Remote allows you to control the Strawberry Player over your local (home) network, and provides the following features:

Basic Player Control: Play, Pause, Next, Previous

Playlist Control: The client shows the same open playlists as the Strawberry Player. You can add/remove songs from a playlist and create new playlists, and these changes propagate back to the Strawberry Player.

Playlist add/remove/create actions can be restricted via a token. If this is enabled, the client will ask for the token when connecting; it's optional to provide it, but if you don't, playlists become immutable from that client — playback control (Play/Pause/Next/Previous) is unaffected either way.

There's a new settings screen (see attached) for

Enabliing/Disabling remote clients Assigning the port clients connect on Enabling/Disabling the token feature Setting the playlist size — how many upcoming songs in the current playlist are sent to a connected client

There are currently two clients available:

A Linux client, intended primarily for testing An Android client, available via the Google Play Store. Note: you'll need to be registered as a tester to see the app.

Strawberry Player (Debian package) and release notes: Click here
Remote Client (Debian package) and release notes: Click here

Thank you to anyone willing to test this pre-release and share feedback — it's much appreciated.

I have now added a token that protects unwanted changes to a playlist via a client.

Nevermind, I was missing the context menu to switch modes:

Everything is alright 😉

Alas, Strawberry, at its very essence, is a playlist player. I assume you would like to play tracks from the Collection list directly, as you could in MusicBee.. I don't think that is possible.

I also miss the ability to play directly from the collection, as I was able to do when I used iTunes, and later, MusicBee. But Strawberry has so much else going for it, I just adapt.

What I do is create a playlist called "Play from Collection", that I keep at the left end of the playlist tabs. The songs/albums pop into that playlist when I double click them in the collection list, and I just wipe them out with the "Clear Playlist" button when I'm done. A little cumbersome, but it gets the job done.

It's sort of like when moving from one operating system to another, e.g., Mac to Linux. You can achieve much the same results, but the workflow might have to change.

I'm not sure if necrobumping is allowed, but are there any updates regarding this? Would really love to see milkdrop-like visualisations. When I was on Windows I loved watching them with the foobar2k plugin I had for it. 😃
