The stars are only shown if there are local collection songs in the playlist, if the playlist is empty they are not shown.
If this is not the issue then show a screenshot of what you mean.

When directories are scanned and metadata is read, it calculates a unique fingerprint for the song (a sort of hash) which is unique to a specific audio stream. This fingerprint is added to strawberry's database. If songs are renamed or moved on disk, the song is marked in the database as "unavailable", so if the song appears under a different path or filename, it can be matched to the database, this prevents losing things like songs in playlists (since collection songs in a playlist is linked to the entry in the collection database), playcounts and ratings for the song when it's stored in the database.
It takes a lot longer to scan the collection if this feature is on, so that's why it's not on by default.

@Miguel-Ruiz
You can't move songs from one collection directory to another, but you can move from any place within the same collection directory.
Also, make sure to check the "song fingerprinting and tracking" in the collection settings, and apply the setting before you add a collection directory, otherwise do a full re-scan to make sure fingerprints are calculated.

Start Strawberry from a terminal with: GST_DEBUG=4 strawberry

@przemhb

Make sure the equalizer, bs2b and replay gain is off in the backend settings, they cause resampling.
Other than that I think the limitation is the driver.
At least on the DACs I've tested you have to set a fixed sample rate and bit depth in the driver settings. For example here are settings for Mcintosh:

Test with VLC, does it output at the same rate?

I've tested exclusive mode, it crashes with some DACs but works with others. I think it's buggy in gstreamer.

I ran into an issue on my work computer where I use an external HDD mounted through udisks2, the watcher isn't working at all. If I manually mount the disk with mount it works fine. Maybe this is the same issue.
How did you mount the disk? Through udisks2 (removable disk), or through mount / fstabs?

@rajm
OK can you start strawberry with gdb and do a backtrace and paste it here if you manage to reproduce the crash again. (Unless it's an abort because of insistent database but then you usually see that on the terminal).

@rajm
The glibc in snap is not compatible with the glibc on the native system. So you probably won't get that to work at all.
So either install protobuf-compiler (via apt), or compile protobuf from source.

@jbayes
It's not hard-coded, just not specified anywhere so it uses the default storage on the phone. I think this was a restriction in the llibrary used in strawberry (libmtp), and not strawberry itself. But it might be possible in newer versions of libmtp. Unfortunately I have to many things to do so I'm not sure when this can be looked into again.

@mrbluebudo
I don't think there is such a thing as a "Love" tag. "Love" is a audio scrobbler / last.fm thing, the setting to turn on the button is under the scrobbler settings for that reason.
When you press the Love button a request is sent to Last.fm or any of the other scrobbler services depending on which is enabled to "Love" the track, the actual data is only saved on scrobbler service itself, not in strawberry's database.

@rajm
There is at least 4 places where you can change the cover.
Is this the cover manager, tag editor the playing popup / context?
If it was the playing popup or context, I think I found the bug and fixed it yesterday, try the latest from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/windows/ it should hopefully work.

@mrbluebudo
I'm aware of it, it's a known issue, MP4 does not get tagged by the transcoder.

@ggszmr
What version is this? Version 1.0.15 is always using strict ssl and no option to turn it off. Fixed in 1.0.16.
It could be related to the SSL certificate, do you have the option for "Use strict SSL mode" in the backend settings, turn it off.
It could also be that you are missing a gstreamer plugin for the stream, or the stream is unsupported.
You can use the gst-discoverer-1.0 utility to figure out what stream it is.
Usage.: gst-discoverer-1.0 <URL>
Then install the specific gstreamer plugin needed.

@logophile
Tested all 4 installers for version 1.0.17 here, all of them work. All files are installed.
ResampleDmo.DLL is a system DLL, part of Windows, should be in C:\Windows\System32.
libintl-8.dll gets installed here for the MinGW version.
If you have 3rdparty anti-virus software, check that it isn't blocking any of the files.
AVG and Avast typically detect the MinGW release as malware, but it is a false positive (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/de4a15d6f6ab1ae939b3ee2cf99003b3ddb1300ff35fe71137466cb0c9c5edf5). Almost impossible to keep them from doing that. I've reported it many times, and it gets cleared for a while. Those free antivirus programs are usually not very good.
The MSVC release should not be a problem.
Apart from that, check your HDD and do a memory check (like memtest86 or similar) on your computer.

I can confirm that splitting the mbid's by slash and appending them individually to the Json array works. Fixed now (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/d9c4720a3ee776dde2701eac21fd0b51ae50a78a).

@tybug
It is sent as an array, but It could be the entries with a slash needs to be spitted by the slash, and sent as two different entries. I can experiment with it.

I have to think about what to do in this case, because it's not possible to know what song / artist mbid is rejected based on the response from musicbrainz, and dropping the whole cache will drop all scrobbles currently in the cache.

Strawberry sends multiple scrobbles in batches, I'm guessing the problem is that one of the songs has an invalid artist mbid, so it's rejected, but never cleared from the cache, since the batch was rejected, so Strawberry will just re-send the same batch and it's rejected each time because one of the songs with incorrect artist mbid.

@tybug
Does the musicbrainz entries in ~/.cache/strawberry/strawberry/listenbrainzscrobbler.cache look correct?
Close strawberry and delete that file and see if it starts scrobbling again.

@tybug
I see no issues looking back at my own history (My listenbrainz profile: https://listenbrainz.org/user/jonaskvinge/), but I don't have musicbrainz tags.
If you are on Linux you should be able to see some debug output about scrobbles by starting Strawberry on the terminal.
