<![CDATA[Strawberry Hanging]]>I recently switched my OS to Linux Mint LMDE 22.1. Since then, Strawberry hangs. It is completely unresponsive, and I have to kill it. Once it is restarted, it behaves normally until it hangs again. It seems to be random. I have started Strawberry from the command line, hoping to receive an error message. No joy. It just stops.

Strawberry Version 1.0.23

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.

This often happens to me after pausing to search for information in Firefox or to play a video there: it is impossible to restart the music, and I have to exit Strawberry.
It happened with previous Strawberry & Firefox too. It happens systematically when returning from Firefox and nothing else.

Edit: it came after a pause and my screensaver is also involved.

Strawberry 1.2.12
Firefox 141.0.3 64bits
Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1

I installed the latest version from Flatpak, and so far it seems to be working.

I had to go through everything, reset my configuration settings, and reimport all of my collection. Storing playcounts and ratings in the tag has just paid for itself.

Version 1.0.23 is very old, I suggest to use the 1.2.11 release from the web site, or from the PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~jonaski/+archive/ubuntu/strawberry

If that does not help.
Start strawberry from the terminal with:

GST_DEBUG=*:4 strawberry

No messages, nothing. It just becomes unresponsive. I kill it and restart it, and it plays where it left off, but then hangs again later in a different place.
