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.

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

Mysticism! 🙂
Everything worked out today.

@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.

@erdbär great news! Thanks for the info

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.

@NiceTortoise77
In settings / Backend. Try setting output to WASAPI instead.

I can confirm that this issue is still ongoing; after a PC restart, strawberry started back up in Spanish.

debian trixie

Does that mean flatpak currently offers dark mode? I don't see that option in my app installed via .deb file.
