Hmmm, after several restarts, the sorting in my previous comment changed to be correct with all 4 being under H, and others fixed as well.

So ignore that.

But I like this, having them in Sort Order, as that's how I also keep my file collection folder names.

Strawberry stopped three times in the last 24.

Could there be something connected with the playlist list causing this? It is a very large playlist.

@trincowski I'll correct it. This seems like a bug with strawberry since it is considering things it should not be. I would really like if it only obeyed the sync options used.

@jonas , indeed. I built recent gst-plugins-rs with librespot 0.7 and the issue has gone.
Thank you.

Mysticism! 🙂
Everything worked out today.

@Sharky-PI adding info to this thread: searching the collection by
genre:microhouse
does find the example track, as does searching by
genre:clownpenis
So manual search works for semicolon-separated-subgenres, just not the GUI dropdown system.

@jonas Many thanks. That is it.

The modification time of the files was being changed. However, the that of the directory under which they sat was not being updated. A "touch" of that directory, and then "Update Changed Collection Folders" works perfectly.

Thanks again.

Hello
No solution?
Should we request that a feature be added?

It is working now. I had changed some settings on the scrobblers and misunderstood the settings I was changing.

I thought a local file would scribble anything on my hard drive. Apparently, it only scrobbles files I play that are not in my collection. I never do this with Strawberry, and it was the only one selected. I turned on Collection and turned off Local Files.

@olem Could you explain it better, please? I don't get what you're trying to do.

@frostypaw
Not as far as I know - But I would also love tat feature!

@normanb
The cause of this issue is that Strawberry does not find hidden album art in the album folder but amarok and clementine do.

I have taken the Clementine patch issued in 2012 and modified it for the current gentoo release of Strawberry and raised it as an issue on the strawberry github. https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1809

Switched the style to Fusion, looks great now.

See? If you just don't respond they'll solve their own problems.

Okay, well, I think I've made some config tweaks that have helped the SMB performance. The full collection rescan still takes forever, but it always did and that's expected. The update changed, however, is now as fast as it was on linux. That was the important one.

@erdbär great news! Thanks for the info

@NiceTortoise77 its still basically free except you have to continue to keep spending money to update it and the website says its totally free on the front page despite literally not being free. If you have never used the product before you need to pay, and if you want new features and bug fixes you also have to pay. Sounds free to me for suuure

I made an account just now to say the patreon is very offputting. Dont advertise on the front page of the website that this is free and available on github when the new releases are behind a paywall. If you had a one time fee for lifetime membership, or even if it was free and donation based, I would be so much more inclined to support you. But youre genuinely just lying about your business model and hoping people stay subbed. Im genuinely going to tell people if they find this product not to use it

@v1993

+2 on this question. I can't see any behavior difference but playing the first N seconds or a random preview of tracks would be a great feature. That seems like what this was meant to be.
