Strawberry stopped two times today, about 15 minutes apart.

I just upgraded to Version 1.2.12. I'm waiting to see what happens now.

@rlkeeney
Try setting low watermark to 0.10 and buffer duration to 8000

This did not work. It stopped twice in the last 24 hours.

@jonas Done.

I have it looping on a long play and running 24/7.

@jonas Strawberry stopped playing again with the buffering set to 0ms.

Is it local files or streams? If local files, do you play them from the local HD, or remotely? And what audio format is it?

It is local files. I never stream.

They are played from an internal SATA hard drive.

The audio format is MP3.

I play MP3s using smart playlists 99% of the time. The only time I don't use a playlist is when I am playing something new and unrated.

I have all three scrobblers enabled, along with the cover search, although I really don't need this, as I rarely look at a cover.

Pretty much everything else is disabled, including the analyzer and mood bar, which I see as useless.

@poilu You are obviously paying much closer attention to it than I am. 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.

I configured the Strawberry buffering to "0ms," which seems like it would turn buffering off.

@jonhd Nothing in the logs. It ran 49 minutes, then went into continuous buffering.

@jonhd I just started 'journalctl -f', hopefully this will catch something.

I have updated to the latest version of Strawberry, and I am still getting the buffering issue. It will play for hours and stop. At the bottom of the screen, on the status line, it says: Buffering 0%. The number never increases from zero. If I click stop and then play, it will take off and play for a few more hours and stop again.

@jonas Thanks, it never occurred to me that apt would be installing an old version. 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.

I have a large playlist that I play 24/7, and it is hung every morning and once or twice during the day. 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.

Hung again last night.

Update: Strawberry is still hanging for no apparent reason.

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

I have very eclectic taste in music. I like some of it all . Here are sm stats from last week.

@StrawberryAR There is an option in the settings to enable monitoring of the collection.

I'm still getting the buffering issue.

@Jellby I don't think it is related. The symptoms do not match.

Last night, it hard-locked. I could not click on anything, so I had to kill the process and restart. There was an error window, but instead of an error message, there was a chunk of a video that was playing in another window.
