Looks like this is caused by the global shortcuts, specifically SPMediaKeyTap. I'll temporary remove SPMediaKeyTap until a better solution is found, this will cause Apple Music to open when using the Play keyboard button, but at least it's better than crashing.

@jonas Apologies. I didn't get any notification that you'd asked other questions so didn't see this until now. Looking at your conversation in #1582 it sounds promising that you may have tracked it down with brilliant help from jirislaby (Kudos, jirislaby. This has been driving me nuts! 🐵 )

If I see any further issues after upgrading to a release with the fix in I'll let you know.

Many thanks to you both.

Thanks @jonas !

@jonas
Sorry for the late reply,

The output is:

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-kglobalaccel.service; static) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead)

Not sure what the dead inactive status means in this case.

Currently, you can only decrease the cover size by moving the splitter so the context window size gets smaller, this should be saved on exit, if it's not saved, please start strawberry on the terminal under gdb to see if it crashes when you exit the application (https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Backtrace).

@jonas I'm on 1.2.1-rc1 now. If I click "reset columns to default" and then customise columns the way they were before resetting, the problem is gone, ie no need to try with a fresh .conf. Thank you!

@jonas Issue Resolved, sorry to post on all three but just in case anyone else was wondering
This fixed the issue with the long username!
Thanks again Jonas!

@jonas Thank you for the answer. I'll wait for the new version, as I think other Debian Bookworm users (yes, MX is based on Bookworm) will also have problems compiling the plugin. That's the only downside to Debian - it's stable, but some packages are older (cargo-c is version 0.29 on Ubuntu, 0.14 on Debian).

But I'm very happy that the plugin can otherwise simply be turned off (with Clementine it got stuck in the login when Spotify no longer supported the plugin). Strawberry is otherwise really great, I'll stick with it. Thanks!

Same problem here. This music player seems amazing but font size is quite small.

@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.

@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.

There is an issue open for this here: https://github.com/flathub/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/issues/94

@timberry
it's a bug, thanks for reporting.
Fixed now https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/07c898581ccdab9d5900911083f84b9b03221a61

I think I might have fixed this issue now, if possible, could you try build the latest master (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry) and see if the issue is fixed.

@jonas It appears the setting you mentioned which I have disabled only applies to the library. The problem is with Strawberry placing albums into a Various Artists folder to a synced device. The only album that should be here is the first one, the rest are placed incorrectly.

I would like if Strawberry could strictly follow the Naming Options on the sync settings page when syncing songs. Anything else should be ignored.
My sync Naming Options are;
%albumartist/%album/%track %title.%extension

Resolved, Windows build instructions for developers is updated in strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry-msvc.

@pross66japan Oh, I guess I should also say I'm working on Mac Studio running Sonoma.

Finally caught it while running with GST_DEBUG=5. This time, I had paused the track somewhat close to its end. Unfortunately, the logging is on the insane level, so I couldn't copy it all, and I don't even know if it has anything useful. Here is the last part of it, just in case:
