## Screenshots

## Getting Started

### Desktop (recommended)

Download the [latest desktop client](https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin/releases). The desktop client is the recommended way to use Feishin. It supports both the MPV and web player backends, as well as includes built-in fetching for lyrics.

#### MacOS Notes

If you're using a device running macOS 12 (Monterey) or higher, [check here](https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin/issues/104#issuecomment-1553914730) for instructions on how to remove the app from quarantine.

For media keys to work, you will be prompted to allow Feishin to be a Trusted Accessibility Client. After allowing, you will need to restart Feishin for the privacy settings to take effect.

### Web and Docker

Visit [https://feishin.vercel.app](https://feishin.vercel.app) to use the hosted web version of Feishin. The web client only supports the web player backend.

Feishin is also available as a Docker image. The images are hosted via `ghcr.io` and are available to view [here](https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin/pkgs/container/feishin). You can run the container using the following commands:

```bash
# Run the latest version
docker run --name feishin -p 9180:9180 ghcr.io/jeffvli/feishin:latest

# Build the image locally
docker build -t feishin .
docker run --name feishin -p 9180:9180 feishin
```

#### Docker Compose

To install via Docker Compose use the following snippit. This also works on Portainer.

```
version: '3'
services:
feishin:
container_name: feishin
image: 'ghcr.io/jeffvli/feishin:latest'
environment:
- SERVER_NAME=jellyfin # pre defined server name
- SERVER_LOCK=true # When true AND name/type/url are set, only username/password can be toggled
- SERVER_TYPE=jellyfin # navidrome also works
- SERVER_URL= # http://address:port
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- UMASK=002
- TZ=America/Los_Angeles
ports:
- 9180:9180
restart: unless-stopped
```

### Configuration

1. Upon startup you will be greeted with a prompt to select the path to your MPV binary. If you do not have MPV installed, you can download it [here](https://mpv.io/installation/) or install it using any package manager supported by your OS. After inputting the path, restart the app.

2. After restarting the app, you will be prompted to select a server. Click the `Open menu` button and select `Manage servers`. Click the `Add server` button in the popup and fill out all applicable details. You will need to enter the full URL to your server, including the protocol and port if applicable (e.g. `https://navidrome.my-server.com` or `http://192.168.0.1:4533`).

- **Navidrome** - For the best experience, select "Save password" when creating the server and configure the `SessionTimeout` setting in your Navidrome config to a larger value (e.g. 72h).
- **Linux users** - The default password store uses `libsecret`. `kwallet4/5/6` are also supported, but must be explicitly set in Settings > Window > Passwords/secret score.

3. _Optional_ - If you want to host Feishin on a subpath (not `/`), then pass in the following environment variable: `PUBLIC_PATH=PATH`. For example, to host on `/feishin`, pass in `PUBLIC_PATH=/feishin`.

4. _Optional_ - To hard code the server url, pass the following environment variables: `SERVER_NAME`, `SERVER_TYPE` (one of `jellyfin` or `navidrome`), `SERVER_URL`. To prevent users from changing these settings, pass `SERVER_LOCK=true`. This can only be set if all three of the previous values are set.

## FAQ

### MPV is either not working or is rapidly switching between pause/play states

First thing to do is check that your MPV binary path is correct. Navigate to the settings page and re-set the path and restart the app. If your issue still isn't resolved, try reinstalling MPV. Known working versions include `v0.35.x` and `v0.36.x`. `v0.34.x` is a known broken version.

### What music servers does Feishin support?

Feishin supports any music server that implements a [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org/) or [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/) API. **Subsonic API is not currently supported**. This will likely be added in [later when the new Subsonic API is decided on](https://support.symfonium.app/t/subsonic-servers-participation/1233).

- [Navidrome](https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome)
- [Jellyfin](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin)
- [Funkwhale](https://funkwhale.audio/) - TBD
- Subsonic-compatible servers - TBD

### I have the issue "The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly" on Linux

This happens when you have user (unprivileged) namespaces disabled (`sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone` returns 0). You can fix this by either enabling unprivileged namespaces, or by making the `chrome-sandbox` Setuid.

```bash
chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox
```

Ubunutu 24.04 specifically introduced breaking changes that affect how namespaces work. Please see https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-release-notes/39890#:~:text=security%20improvements%20 for possible fixes.

## Development
