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.

@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.

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

@jonaski said in Resume Playback On Start:

The resume playback on start should work if you close Strawberry while a song is playing, then reopen Strawberry.
I'm not sure if it would work on system startup.

I know this thread is old but i have this same issue. In my mind turning off the computer is closing the app while a song is playing so why when its in the startup and reopens it doesn't play .. its weird logic .. oddly enough i got it working in clementine but only in mint cinnamon , in xfce it did nothing. also weird tho is it will work when you log out and log back in which again in my mind is the same as turning the PC off and on .. i dunno , i would love to use this app but i need the music to start when i turn on my PC so its janky clementine or quad libet for me.

odd this issues doesn't come up more or hasn't been addressed ever.

@erdbär great news! Thanks for the info

BPM field has been implemented in 1.2.12.

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.

@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.

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

@jonas Thanks!

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.
