Strawberry taking long time while starting
-
Hello there,
Thanks again for this great application on linux. I am using for months now !
I updated my ubuntu 20.04 and installed the latest version of Strawberry 0.8.3 and created a playlist with all my collection in it as Strawberry does not have like a Collection view with all files listed.
The problem is that at each start, Strawberry is doing somehow a check of the whole playlist eventhough i unchecked the options in parameters like : ''Update collection/library at each start of strawberry'' and ''Monitor the modification of the collection/library''.
I have to wait like 10/15min at start and this is really annoying.
Is there a way to trust the database at start and do an integrity check (low processing usage) on the background times to times?Here are my logs when it hangs :

Try turning off the "Grey out unavailable songs in playlists on startup" option in the playlist settings.

Thanks for the tip,
I turned off all options i saw in link with database check at startup in collection options (Automatic collection updates...) and the options you talked me about.I still have 11min30s on my machine to display my playlist containing my full collection.

Thanks for your reply,

No but the integrity check and backup should not take long. If it takes long I would suspect something is wrong with the database, or the disk where the database is stored. I've seen cases where the integrity check integrated in Strawberry does not pick up a faulty db.
Try run a manual integrity check, see: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/wiki/Database-integrity-check -
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,
