Doesn't surprise me about Strawberry. It's based on Clementine which is based on the original Amarok which was superseded in KDE3.5 many years ago. Your DeadBeef build is still working fine so I'm not worried.
A heads-up about DeadBeef's Musical Spectrum plugin which I love. It has recently (13 Aug 20) been replaced by a new version which has more features and config options but is more taxing on CPU/graphics. On my old Core2Duo 8500 system with Nvidia GTX560 and nouveau it's almost unusable so I reverted to the old 2016 version, but the new one is fine on my newer i5 6500 system with GTX970 and nvidia drivers although I think it uses a bit more CPU than the old version.

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.

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! 8) 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

apt policy strawberry
strawberry:
  Installed: 0.8.4-0.1~obs
  Candidate: 0.8.4-0.1~obs
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.4-0.1~obs 500
        500 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevepassert/Debian_Unstable  Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.6.13-0.1~obs 500

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:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Strawberry
GenericName=Strawberry Music Player
Comment=Plays music
Exec=strawberry %U
TryExec=strawberry
Icon=strawberry
Terminal=false
Categories=AudioVideo;Player;Qt;Audio;
StartupNotify=false
MimeType=x-content/audio-player;application/ogg;application/x-ogg;application/x-ogm-audio;audio/flac;audio/ogg;audio/vorbis;audio/aac;audio/mp4;audio/mpeg;audio/mpegurl;audio/vnd.rn-realaudio;audio/x-flac;audio/x-oggflac;audio/x-vorbis;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;audio/x-speex;audio/x-wav;audio/x-wavpack;audio/x-ape;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-mpeg;audio/x-mpegurl;audio/x-ms-wma;audio/x-musepack;audio/x-pn-realaudio;audio/x-scpls;video/x-ms-asf;x-scheme-handler/tidal;
StartupWMClass=strawberry
Actions=Play;Pause;Stop;StopAfterCurrent;Previous;Next;

[Desktop Action Play]
Name=Play
Exec=strawberry --play

[Desktop Action Pause]
Name=Pause
Exec=strawberry --pause

[Desktop Action Stop]
Name=Stop
Exec=strawberry --stop

[Desktop Action StopAfterCurrent]
Name=Stop after this track
Exec=strawberry --stop-after-current

[Desktop Action Previous]
Name=Previous
Exec=strawberry --previous

[Desktop Action Next]
Name=Next
Exec=strawberry --next
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. :(

I noticed Bullseye version of Audacity has leapfrogged yours:

Code: Select all

apt policy audacity
...
  Version table:
 *** 2.4.2~dfsg0-4 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
     2.4.2~dfsg0-3~obs 500
        500 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevepassert/Debian_Testing  Packages
Is there any chance you can package the latest v3.02 from Audacity site? It's not in Sid yet. :?: :wink:

I think 3.0.2's in a PPA someplace that I can copy the source file from...no--if it was ever there, it's gone. The Audacity site says it needs to build against wxwidgets >= 3.1.3, and Sid has only 3.0.5, to make it worse.

Yeah I looked at compiling it myself but abandoned the idea when I saw I had to compile WxWidgets first. No great loss, current version does what I occasionally use it for. Can wait for v3 till it's ready.
