Feishin is currently undergoing a major rewrite. New feature requests will not be accepted. The rewrite is being actively developed at the [audioling](https://github.com/audioling/audioling) repository.
Follow the repository or join the discord/matrix server for updates.
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.
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.
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:
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.
### 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.
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).
### 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.
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.
