Should be fixed now.

@Darry @AnnieYazbeck That has nothing to do with Spotify integration in Strawberry.

Again, thank you. I've changed my studio around a bit and basically taken this machine off line. I did learn somethings about using the command line and for that I am very appreciative. Don't worry, as the novice I am I'm sure I'll be back at some point.

Keep well and all the best!

Figured it out, it's in "gstreamer1.0-libav", not in one of the "gstreamer1.0-plugins".

Thanks, going into strawberry.conf and manually changing last_save_playlist did the trick.

I see that the track duration bug was fixed in version 0.7.1, so if you have an older version than that, you're affected by the bug.

I actually notice a problem now with Strawberry and GStreamer 1.18 on Windows where it periodically makes a small "pop" sound (possible jump), not exactly sure what to call it, it occurs circa 4 seconds into the track, but sometimes elsewhere too, similar problem occurs when unpausing consistently each time.
I have only tested with FLAC files, but see that problem only occurs with the FLAC codec, playing the same file works fine using libav codec from within Strawberry. I can't reproduce the problem with gst-launch with either codec.
The problem is gone when downgrading GStreamer to version 1.16.2. So I tried to compile gstreamer using the latest code from git too see if the problem has already been fixed, and the problem appears to be fixed. I can definitely tell it by unpausing. So I'm going to use that until the next stable version of GStreamer is released.
So hopefully this will resolve also the issues reported to by @warbaque and @kaiser_sosai.
The buffering issues are most likely a different problem.

You may have to navigate from the root of the filesystem to the folder your hard drive is mounted in when you try to add the folders to the library. Usually it's mounted under /mnt/<uuid>, but it could be different as I have never used multi-drive setup. You may also have to mount the hard drive

Some resources you might want to read:

Check the path of mounted drive

Sorry @jonas, missed the notification that there's activity here.

Just tested https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/macos/bigsur/strawberry-0.8.4.28.gfcd4e5ac-bigsur.dmg and it seems to work. Thanks!

It was presumptuous of me to speak for the community at large - my apologies! What I meant was why hadn't I heard about it sooner, based on my linux audiophile quest

Thanks again,

Ian

Thanks @jonas, all I see is that it uses QUrl and fails.. here's am example where I replace some strings with ???

15:40:34.649 DEBUG DiscogsCoverProvider:185 Discogs: Sending request QUrl("https://api.discogs.com/database/search?key=???&secret=???&format=album&artist=???&release_title=???&type=master") 15:40:34.650 ERROR DiscogsCoverProvider:477 Discogs: "Host api.discogs.com not found (3)"

I guess I'll have to update eventually..

@Hompacko Thanks

You can attach them here or send them to me on e-mail. I think my e-mail is listed on the profile (and in the about of Strawberry).
