@flameche Follow the instructions from @overdress188 but change everything to qt5ct instead. That worked for me

Hello Gustavo & Jonas,

Thank you for looking at this problem.
This is not a major bug preventing me from using Strawberry, but just annoying.
I know how to get round the problem but I am not sure my sister or some of my friends would.
This could deter them from using it.

@jonas No, I don't think the album is marked as a compilation. I've never marked albums as compilation when ripping them (with Asunder or whatever I used previously). I'm not using the Album Artist tag either (never had to). When I group by Artist/Album (the other grouping I often use besides Album) I see the artists all with their own entry and then the (compilation) albums below them. Apart from 3 or 4 songs I don't have anything labelled as Various Artists.

@8gJwRQ Same here! I do not have the skill to program a music player. But if I could I would built one with the flexibility of Foobar2000 and have Foobar add-on support to make it an extremely smooth switch over. I sorely miss an OpenLyrics panel in Strawberry 😞 For some reason, my Foobar2000 via Wine keeps breaking after a while, even if used via Lutris. Strawberry is one of the best alternatives, but the synced lyrics via OpenLyrics is missed deepy.

@Jellby I considered that, but the date would be false, and playing through the list would allow me to listen to some music I haven't listened to in a long time.

@Ivypreston said in Spotify - Switching to access token:

I managed to play music from spotify premium apk using strawberry in one of the first versions that supported spotify. However, now I can't play the song anymore.

help me!

It doesn't feel right to fill this thread with noise. Continuing in General Discussion: https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/topic/5717/gaps-between-tracks

@mini_bomba

I've disabled the OSD Pretty if running on wayland, if you still want to enable it, you can change this line here https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/blob/3fd29c6dcce235b5efcad28a14a9cb172311638a/src/osd/osdbase.cpp#L477 to return true;

@jonas Thank you

@jonas , exactly! thank you very much!
I installed

gst-plugins-adaptivedemux2

and I can play Tidal streams now with following log:

@jonas ,
Sure, how do you want me to send it? Attached to a post here or some other way?
Thanks.

@johnsv
I'm getting a message the GStreamer plugin is missing but the link you used isn't working. Many of my music files were wiped out. I have them backed up but I don't know how to reload from backup. Can you help? Thank you.

@jonas Thank you - yes, the files are OPUS encoded. For some reason my phone wants to see .ogg extension, my Mac will have different metadata recognition depending on which app I use to open the files and which filename extension I have. I made two batch scripts to rename the files back and forth but obviously that's not the handiest solution. I have what sound to me like good results using the opus encoder and so I'm trying to just stick with that for any lossy encodings I do. Sorry about the terminology mistake - opus is the encoding method.

https://github.com/ClaraCrazy/Tidal2Strawberry is a python script that creates a strawberry-formatted xspf file from a Tidal URL. Seems to work, allowing me to play My New Arrivals, for example.

@rlkeeney

Allows using calls from dbus to rate a currently playing song without having to open up the player and click the star rating.

This is useful for media playing from a second computer (laptop, media machine)

It also allows you to bind alt-f1-f10 to half a star to 5 stars

It also allows apps like kde connect to have a ratings ui function in multimedia control, so you can rate a currently playing song with your phone

@jonas Yes, adding a note about this in the warning dialog would be useful, thanks.
For me, it's no catastrophe, I'll just reconstitute my playlists little by little.

Hello,

I don't know if it's a related script branch but i imported my itunes metadata (playcount, lastplayed, .. first into clementine) and then used the https://musconv.com/itunes-to-clementine/ script which suited me fine!
I have ALL my data in strawberry ...

The manual integrity check lasts less than 1s and gives me a "OK".
All my music files are stored in exFat partition. I have like 400Gb music files mainly ogg.
Everything is fine on Mixxx application.
Regards,

@orbvs
Strawberry works with both Qt 5 and 6.

@philevans
This is probably related to the same issue with high CPU as some others have experienced on macOS, while it works fine for others. Performance in in general is worse on macOS then on Linux and Windows.
Unfortunately there has not been much interest in contributing to Strawberry from the macOS community over the past 3 years Strawberry has been developed.
