@zayyad
The song needs to be a local file in the collection, make sure there is a vinyl icon next to the Source column in the playlist, it indicates that it is in the collection.

@arterial
Make sure ALSA or PulseAudio is selected as output in Tools / Settings / Backend, with PipeWire it will use the ALSA, or PulseAudio emulation. Don't select pipwire as output, the PipeWire output doesn't work properly, it's unfinished/buggy.

@thats_a_movie
The new version 1.2.22 released now has an option for dark mode under the appearance settings, you can also configure each individual color on the interface.

@silver-sun
That will also cause you to lose playlists, and possible also play counts and ratings unless it's saved to tags.

The new version 1.2.22 released now has an option for dark mode under the appearance settings, you can also configure each individual color on the interface.

tak is already supported by gst-libav, but TagLib doesn't support it so Strawberry won't read the tags.

@dick
Thanks for sharing the solution, what was the fallback again setting set to?

@Hoshiet
Change some columns, then go to Music / Quit, re-open Strawberry, are they then saved?
if not, please do a backtrace so we can see if it crashes:
https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Backtrace
Or use coredumpctl list and check if it crashed previously.

@FromClementine
Strawberry isn't supported/expected to work under WSL.

@paul2berry
The played track history (clicking previous track button) will reset if you stop playback, or do you mean it's resetting while still playing?

@jonarmst_303
Have you tried adding a directory with audio files to the collection in Tools / Settings / Collection? Does anything show up?

Did you see https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_check ?
Check the database for errors first, if you can read it in DB browser it might be possible to recover it.
See https://sqlite.org/recovery.html

@Krax
You only need to build gst-rs-plugins from source if it's not already provided by your distro as a package, or you have a version older than 0.14. Most distros should ship the package containing the spotify plugin.
As for the build issue:
You are most likely missing the development package for GStreamer, the one containing gstreamer-1.0.pc and .h (development headers).
I don't know the package names for Solus so you might have to consult them.

I believe this is normal, seeking isn't supported with Spotify.
Strawberry mainly has one developer me, so it's not possible for me to reply to everything, there are too many issues to reply to.
