Unable to select an Audio Player

Open daredoes opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Expected Behavior

When navigating to the playback page of the settings, the user is able to select MPV Player instead of Web Player

Current Behavior

An error message appears saying unable to load the audio devices

image

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run the docker image on a NAS server like a Synology using Portainer
  2. Install MPV manually using apk add in a docker shell
  3. Go to the playback page for a server
  4. Error Message

Possible Solution (Not obligatory)

Add more documentation to configure this before the server first starts via a config file.

Context

I am trying to use Feishin to act as a JukeBox webpage where any user can trigger playback on it, and have the MPV Player control audio for the server which has the audio from mpv piped to Snapcast

Your Environment

  • Application version (e.g. v0.1.0) : 0.5.1
  • Operating System and version (e.g. Windows 10) : Docker/Linux
  • Server and version (e.g. Navidrome v0.48.0) : Navidrome

A couple of things:

  1. What browser are you using? This error message is happening because navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices() is failing (this could be a bug, or a browser issue)
  2. Installing MPV in the Feishin container won't do anything. This is only possible on the desktop app; the DOcker image just serves a webpage (your web browser has no way to communicate with MPV).
  3. If you want a jukebox, I might recommend using the develop instance of Navidrome and using the Jukebox feature (a subsonic API feature).

Probably a very stupid question, but: I just installed Feishin, and it seems great, but how do I actually control the Jukebox mode in Navidrome (which is now in the main branch) in Feishin?

You need a client that actually supports jukebox controls (which is currently not Feishin).

Ah, thanks! I misread point 3 as saying that Feishin supported jukebox. Thanks for clarifying. I hope it does at some point - it seems great otherwise.

On desktop, this should be resolved by https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin/commit/af69a584183c2a08be1222bc7418fb898b8ac60a.
