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.

In the new release we made use of sort tags for sorting, but the plan is to make an option for it.

@poilu You are obviously paying much closer attention to it than I am. Strawberry is almost always playing in the background, unless I am doing something like watching a video. When I'm deeply immersed in a project, I can lose track of time, and it won't register with me that it has stopped playing for a long time. So, I usually do not know when it stops.

It always stops on a track change and may be connected with the buffering issue, which I mentioned in another post. The continuous buffering also happens on a track change.

@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.

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

@jonas Thanks!

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.

I think it's the same bug as described here: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1798
There is a workaround adding an entry to the hosts file, but I think it's fixed in the latest librespot release.

@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.

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

It is still basically free.

You can create a repo on Github and then use Github Actions to create the binaries. From what I can tell its exactly what SMP is doing except they are sending the mac and windows binaries to a private server instead of publicly releasing them. Which is fine, everyone has to get their nut.

Not sure if its appropriate to give more detail then that.

@Bubba_John We have something similar with the Replay Gain function, in mode Album (ideal loudness for all tracks).

@MovingSounds said in Getting really fed up of the Patreon aspect.:

A total rip off.

I thought the idea of throwing $5 in the pot was to support the developer; who is not employed to do this.

@frake

I haven't tested building on Tahoe yet, but the error should be easy to fix by manually setting the library path.

Something like this:

export LIBRARY_PATH="/System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework"

Delete CMakeCache.txt and the run cmake command again.
