Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs? I have my own multimedia+ repo!
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 It's based on Clementine which is based on the original Amarok which was superseded in KDE3.5 many years ago.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 It has recently (13 Aug 20) been replaced by a new version which has more features and config options but is more taxing on CPU/graphics.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.

Re: 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?stevepusser wrote: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.

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...

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

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

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

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs? I have my own multimedia+ repo!
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:
Is there any chance you can package the latest v3.02 from Audacity site? It's not in Sid yet.
Code: Select all
apt policy audacity
...

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

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs? I have my own multimedia+ repo!
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.stevepusser wrote: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.
