    • Version 1.0.0 released

      I'm proud to release version 1.0.0 of Strawberry Music Player.

      It has been 6 months since the last release (0.9.3). This is the longest delay between a release since the initial release of Strawberry in April 2018. Strawberry has been in development for over 4 years and has grown to a mature state. Most of the players features are finished. To mark this, it is time for version 1.0.

      OS support

      Linux AppImage:

      AppImages are currently no longer available. This might change in the feature. AppImage of version 0.9.3 is still available. But it is recommended to switch to a regular package.

      Windows:

      Windows 10 is now required, this is not an active decision by Strawberry, it's because Qt 6 have dropped support for older Windows versions. We still provide both x86 and x86_64 releases.
      The Windows release includes the newest versions of all libraries including Qt 6.2.0 and GStreamer 1.18.5.

      macOS:

      macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer is required. This is because Catalina is the oldest macOS release available on GitHub Actions. We only provide a release for x86_64, but it should work on ARM64 through Rosetta.

      Qt 6

      Strawberry has been ready for Qt 6 since August 2020, and have proven to be stable.
      This release fixes and improves code related to changes in Qt 6.2 LTS.
      Qt 6 is now available on most Linux distros, it is recommended that Strawberry is compiled with Qt 6 instead of Qt 5.
      Strawberry can still be compiled with Qt 5.8 or higher, but Qt 5 has not had an open-source release since version 5.15.2 in November 2020. Strawberry is directly affected by semaphore bugs in Qt 5.15.2.
      Releases for Windows and macOS now includes Qt 6.2.0, Qt 5 releases are now dropped.

      Summary of the most important changes:

      ALSA PCM devices:

      You can now list and select ALSA PCM devices in the device settings. Using PCM devices instead of hw/plughw enables you to re-sample to the audio to 48 khz to simultaneously play music in Strawberry using ALSA without blocking other applications from using the same sound-card. It also allows you to use the fading options with ALSA.

      Song fingerprinting and file tracking:

      Strawberry now provides the ability to create a unique fingerprint for all the songs in your collection, this fingerprint is stored in the database along with all the song metadata. The fingerprint is used to track audio files on disk. If you move your music collection, or your music collection becomes temporary unavailable, it is now possible to track where the songs have been moved once they reappear. It is recommended to turn on "Song fingerprinting and track" feature in the collection settings, it will however significantly increase the time it takes to scan your music collection.

      Subsonic:

      You can now enable MD5 authentication, this is more secure than the old hex method. It is recommended to always enable MD5 unless your server does not support it. MD5 is currently the most secure authentication method available in the Subsonic API.

      Changelog:

      Bugfixes:

      • Fix updating temporary metadata when reloading songs outside of the collection.
      • Don't strip off "Live" from song title when sending scrobbles.

    • RE: Qobuz playback - Invalid Request Signature parameter

      @joysofjoyc4
      Qobuz does not accept the signature parameter. It has something to do with the app secret. Either the app secret could be wrong, or revoked, or it could be that QObuz requires that specific app secret to be used in the specific way. I know that there was a app secret that had to be Xor'ed in a special way.
      It is not as easy to pick up an app secret for QObuz as they use MD5.

    • RE: Issues with Genius Lyrics

      @cherrystraw
      Genius was fixed in version 1.0.1. Windows 7 is end of life so it's a good idea to upgrade or switch to another OS.

    • Forum stability issues lately

      There have been some downtime and stability issues the past few days.
      This occurred because I have been working on upgrading the database (mongodb) from version 3.6 to version 5.0 which involved 4 upgrade steps from 3.6 -> 4.0 -> 4.2 -> 4.4 -> 5.0.
      Since mongodb is not available on openSUSE I had to compile each version from source which caused the server to run out of memory.
      I have one major upgrade left, from version 5.0 to 6.0, but I will use a different machine for compiling so it does not take the server down again.
      Sorry for the inconvenience.

    • RE: Import ratings from other players esp Clementine

      Nice job.
      I made a guide now to import most data from Clementine:

      https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/wiki/Import-collection-library-and-playlists-data-from-Clementine

      This is useful for users who want to import all their playlists from Clementine, since playlists are based on ROWID's from the collection library, it is necessary to import the collection too.

      It would be great if you want to make a script.

      Do a consistency check of the database:
      https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_check

      Try re-creating the songs_fts data, with the following commands:

      Remove all songs_fts data:

      delete from songs_fts;
      

      Re-create songs_fts data from songs:

      INSERT INTO songs_fts (ROWID, ftstitle, ftsalbum, ftsartist, ftsalbumartist, ftscomposer, ftsperformer, ftsgrouping, ftsgenre, ftscomment) SELECT ROWID, title, album, artist, albumartist, composer, performer, grouping, genre, comment FROM songs;

    • RE: Problems with the format and content of playlists files

      @Miguel-Ruiz
      Clementine is not URL encoding / decoding the file paths according to the specifications. Clementine is doing it wrong, and is probably unable to load the playlists saved by strawberry for this reason, since Strawberry URL encodes some characters.

      Another difference is that Clementine is saving metadata. For Strawberry, there is a setting for enabling saving playlists with metadata, in the settings, under playlist. If you enable that setting it will save metadata like Clementine does.

    • RE: Collection scan not working

      @drbldrbl
      You need to give more information about the problem if you want help here.
      What audio files and tags, does the taglib utility read the files?
      Try dragging a file to the playlist and see what error you get there.
