Hah! Who needs PPAs? I have my own multimedia+ repo!

I added Strawberry 0.8.3 to the repo, but again it's only building for Buster. I'll try and fix it. It says the new version fixes a gstreamer memory leak.

Edit: should be fixed, apparently needs libgnutls28-dev listed as a build-depend for upstream, where it gets pulled in automatically by some other B-D on Buster.

Krita updated to 4.4.1, ClipGrab to 3.8.15, Pithos to 1.5.1.

Would that be the memory leak for which I opened an issue on Github and the dev closed it saying it wasn't their problem?

Damfino! I was just quoting the changelog.

Re: rats...did you see that news story about the guy waiting for a bus in NYC a week before Halloween when the sidewalk collapsed beneath him and he fell 15 feet into a horror movie? (aka an abandoned cellar swarming with huge rats, aka just another day in New York?) There's even a security video of it happening, with him clinging desperately to the side of the hole for a second before disappearing.

My theory is that the rats were testing their people trap...

Updating Strawberry to 0.8.4. I still don't know if the memory leak is fixed, but this versions adds the ability to choose the Qt 5 style in settings, as well as choose to have the tray icon show track progress. Tip: if you have qt5-style-kvantum installed, you can choose that, then either use the default kvantum style set in Kvantum Manager, or use any kvantum style on a per-app basis as set in the Manager.

... and what is the Mr valgrind's statement regarding this issue?

I just reinstalled Strawberry on siduction, having purged it a while back because of the memory leak. Seems it's fixed. Only reports ~5% usage on this system with 4GB whereas the old version would progressively increase to about 33% (only loaded a few hundred songs in the library though, will test a few K later). Good times! Thanks, Stevo.
It did fail to create a menu entry though, Plasma 5.19.5.
I'd say that old 0.6.13x version in your repo is redundant now.

Code: Select all

Well, I'll have to try and fix the missing menu entry. I wonder if it has some entry like "don't show in KDE" in the desktop file, or if it could be a newer KDE issue.

Clementine doesn't seem to be getting many updates for the past few years, which makes me wonder if it's still working with the online services it supports, or if Strawberry would be a better default music app for MX than Clementine.

The current org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry.desktop contains:

Which seems to work nicely with xfce 4.14 and KDE in Buster(MX 19), though KDE shows the GenericName. Could your KDE be showing the Comment "Plays Music" or something like that?

Oops, false alarm on the menu entry. It is there but appeared at the top of Multimedia list, above Audacious. I forgot it does that sometimes.

SMPlayer updated to 21.1.0 for Debian 9 through Sid. Debian doesn't seem to have a maintainer for this package since 18.3.
