      I had Strawberry running on MacOs Catalina, but when I upgraded to Big Sur, the latest MacOs, it stopped working. It crashes at launch: "Application doesn't answer".
      Is there an update planned?

        I had the same issue with 0.8.1, downloading the 0.8.4 release sorted it though. ☺

          I have not tested on Big Sur, but the existing release should work.

          Try to install the latest version, replace your current.

              I am getting issues on Big Sur too. The app opens into a black window (full screen) and just hangs there. I have to force quit it.

              I ran it from the command line to collect logs. Attaching them here.

              I also found a Qt issue that's still open. Not sure if any of this is relevant.

              Maybe I need to uninstall and re-install?

              (I was about to open an issue on Github when I noticed there was a forum)

                According to https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.html, Big Sur is not listed as a supported platform. Seems strange since Big Sur has been out in Beta for a long time.

                I tried to upgrade my Virtualbox macOS cataline VM to Big Sur, but it does not have enough disk space, and I have problems expanding the partition. I can expand the virtual size of the vdi file fine. I can't seem to boot from a ISO to manage to resize the partition, and Disk Utility doesn't seem to expand it even when it says it's successful. If anyone can help me with that I might be able to look into it.

                You can try to compile yourself following the guide here:

                  Looks like similar problems were reported for other Qt applications https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/issues/1035 and the solution is to recompile.

                      Can someone confirm if the Big Sur builds work or not?
                      If they work I can publish a separate link for Big Sur on the homepage.

                          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!
