## 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.

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.

### 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 --port 9180:9180 ghcr.io/jeffvli/feishin:latest

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

### 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).

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`.

## 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
