I've upgraded to media-sound/strawberry-v1.0.18 a while back and encountered broken player controls / seekbar. I've downgraded back to v1.0.17 and everything was back to normal. Today, I've upgraded to v1.0.20-r1 only to encounter same issue as in v1.0.18, but now v1.0.17 is not in the tree anymore. I've submitted upstream report (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1283). According to response (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1283#issuecomment-1742060280), issue might be with "... some change in Qt that broke binary compatibility, or some patch applied to Qt that broke it." Not sure on how to proceed or if it's related to media-sound/strawberry, dev-qt/qtcore or something else. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install media-sound/strawberry-1.0.20-r1 2. Open player 3. Start playing track Actual Results: Player controls are broken Expected Results: Player controls should not be broken When trying to rebuild media-sound/strawberry-v1.0.17 (https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/plain/media-sound/strawberry/strawberry-1.0.17.ebuild?id=a43f6105c927ba1a6b622f8702df475ab17e450b) with dev-libs/protobuf-23.3-r2, build fails at ..

what's the current status?
I'm still running media-sound/strawberry-v1.0.17, since I wasn't able to make v1.0.18+ work without "player control issues" as mentioned above. I can see that v1.0.21 and v1.0.22 are already in tree (have it masked, didn't notice upgrades). Will find some time later this week and try upgrading to v1.0.22, then report back.
Upgraded to media-sound/strawberry-1.0.23, issue is still present. Related log lines, from verbose strawberry output, according to upstream: 22:51:52.451 WARN unknown QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'State' 22:51:52.451 WARN unknown (Make sure 'State' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)
Created attachment 893156 [details, diff] Patch to fix player controls This patch appears to fix the problem for me with media-sound/strawberry-1.0.23, VLC backend, dev-qt/*-5.15.13. With it applied, the player controls and the progress bar appear to operate correctly - except that the "Pause" button does not change back to "Play" after a "Stop", this may be a separate bug. The error messages as described in comment #3 and the upstream bug do not appear.
Could you try and submit your patch upstream, please?
Submitted upstream as https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1450
I've added patch mentioned in comment #4 and upgraded to media-sound/strawberry-1.0.23-r1. Everything works as expected now. Patch was already commited upstream - https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/d7cc52bc99e38f85f37431ab70895308042e21df This can be closed.
