I think you need to enable the background playback option. Alternatively, you can reinstall the application.

Have reinstalled a number of times. At times it advances to the next song. Most times it doesn't

Will try the background playback option. I have it disabled

This sounds like the pipeline does not correctly enroll the next song in advance for gapless playback. What are your audio related settings? The background option shouldn't interfere with this. If everything works correctly, you should see the uri of the next song ~5s before the song starts in the command line logs.

I encountered the same issue.

System:

OS: Arch Linux
Package: High Tide git
Version: 1.1.0.r2.gd1cb12e-1
Preferred Audio Sink: Pipewire

Does it happen with pulse sink as well? The pipewire sink still uses the non gapless implementation from before. Perhaps I broke it with the last few patches. If this is the case maybe it's better to disable the pipewire sink.

Yes. You are right. When switching to the Pulse sink, the queued song was automatically advanced.

I have tried everything in here (pulse vs automatic, run in background, not lossless) - when it finishes it jumps to the beginning, pressing next jumps to the beginning.

@marcogrecopriolo Make sure your internet is stable and has a very good bandwidth, as these are quite large files.

err... 600mps good enough for you?

Also, to clarify, if I click on the next song in the playlist, it plays it straight away, if not all it does is to play the current song on repeat - is if it was a playlist of one

@marcogrecopriolo This sounds like you have repeat mode turned on. Can you check if pressing the button next to skip forward does anything? Yours is probably unrelated to the original bug. I was only able to reproduce that by adding massive network delay (~1s)

nope not on repeat, but I reinstalled and it went away

I'm having a similar issue. When a song ends, the player doesn't automatically start the next one, even though it's in the queue. The title under the album cover changes to the next song, and when I hit play, the correct song plays — but I have to press play manually each time, which is annoying.

I've tried 1.1.0 and git master versions. I don't have "Run in background" turned on and my preferred audio sink is Pipewire (issue is not limited to this sink).
