+1. As it is right now, changing appearance doesn't do enough.

My (rather crude) solution involves fetching currently playing song's data from Strawberry's window title.
The code is roughly equivalent to the following (inline cmd, Windows):

@chcp 65001 >nul 2>&1
for /f "tokens=2,* skip=9 usebackq" %i in (
    `tasklist /v /fo list /fi "imagename eq strawberry.exe" 2^>nul`
) do @echo %j

However, I can only extract the song's artist and title with this - not to mention it's not configurable.

There must be a better way...

Whenever TagReader is involved, logs become jumbled, which makes them a pain to read.

A few examples:

Strawberry version: 0.8.5-152-g69032db3-qt6-debug on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1379]

@twist said in Strawberry refuses to perform a collection scan:

I also tested 0.8.5.152.g69032db3-qt6-debug and ran it with gdb, weirdly enough this does not get stuck at 0% and does the collection scan.

Same here. It makes me wonder whether this has something to do with TagReader - it seems to behave somewhat differently between release and debug builds.

A variation of a similar issue; this time, upon turning off an audio output in a more graceful way, Strawberry logs the following (along with an error pop-up):

04:06:38.177 ERROR GstEnginePipeline:901            ErrorMessageReceived ID: 14 Domain: 3726 Code: 6 Error: "IDirectSoundBuffer_GetStatus Operacja uko˝czona pomyťlnie.\r\n, IDirectSoundBuffer_GetCurrentPosition: Operacja uko˝czona pomyťlnie.\r\n, dwStatus: 0"
04:06:38.189 ERROR GstEnginePipeline:902            ErrorMessageReceived ID: 14 Domain: 3726 Code: 6 Debug: "../gst-plugins-good-1.18.3/sys/directsound/gstdirectsoundsink.c(702): gst_directsound_sink_write (): /GstPlayBin:playbin-65/GstPlaySink:playsink/GstBin:abin/GstBin:audiobin/GstAutoAudioSink:autoaudiosink-66/GstDirectSoundSink:autoaudiosink-66-actual-sink-directsound"

Surprisingly, a path to handle these non-errors does exist in the code - however, it won't work when that message isn't in English (here - minus string encoding - 'Operacja ukończona pomyślnie' is Polish for 'Operation completed successfully') and an error will be emitted anyway.

Strawberry version: 0.8.5-152-g69032db3-qt6 on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1379]

Attempting to perform a collection scan, abort it, update changed folders or even rescan single songs causes Strawberry to block and refuse to commit any further collection updates:

Strawberry version: 0.8.5-152-g69032db3 on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1379]

I've tried to use a debug build to reproduce this; however, those do not have that problem.

Whenever I turn off my speakers while they're the only audio output and a track is playing, Strawberry throws an error and logs the following:

20:12:21.005 ERROR GstEnginePipeline:901            ErrorMessageReceived ID: 8 Domain: 3718 Code: 6 Error: "IDirectSoundBuffer_GetStatus (null), IDirectSoundBuffer_GetCurrentPosition: (null), dwStatus: 5"
20:12:21.013 ERROR GstEnginePipeline:902            ErrorMessageReceived ID: 8 Domain: 3718 Code: 6 Debug: "../gst-plugins-good-1.18.3/sys/directsound/gstdirectsoundsink.c(702): gst_directsound_sink_write (): /GstPlayBin:playbin-35/GstPlaySink:playsink/GstBin:abin/GstBin:audiobin/GstAutoAudioSink:autoaudiosink-36/GstDirectSoundSink:autoaudiosink-36-actual-sink-directsound"

I would expect that the track should either pause (gracefully - without an error), or it should keep playing (but without an audio output, obviously).
