# Configuration
|
|
|
|
For remote providers (Navidrome, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Spotify, Qobuz, NetEase, YouTube Music), the fastest path is the interactive wizard:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cliamp setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It validates your credentials live and writes the right TOML block without touching the rest of your config. See [cli.md](cli.md#setup-wizard) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Config directory
|
|
|
|
cliamp resolves its config directory in this order:
|
|
|
|
- `CLIAMP_CONFIG_DIR`
|
|
- `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cliamp`
|
|
- `HOME/.config/cliamp`
|
|
- on Windows, `%APPDATA%\cliamp` when `HOME` is not set
|
|
|
|
The examples below use `~/.config/cliamp` for brevity. On Windows without `HOME`, replace that path with `%APPDATA%\cliamp`.
|
|
|
|
For everything else, copy the example config and edit by hand:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/cliamp
|
|
cp config.toml.example ~/.config/cliamp/config.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
# Default volume in dB (range: volume_min to 6)
|
|
volume = 0
|
|
|
|
# Minimum volume floor in dB (range: -90 to 0, default: -50)
|
|
# Controls how low the volume control can go.
|
|
volume_min = -50
|
|
|
|
# Repeat mode: "off", "all", or "one"
|
|
repeat = "off"
|
|
|
|
# Start with shuffle enabled
|
|
shuffle = false
|
|
|
|
# Start with mono output (L+R downmix)
|
|
mono = false
|
|
|
|
# Initial directory for the file browser ('o' key)
|
|
initial_directory = "~/Music"
|
|
|
|
# Shift+Left/Right seek jump in seconds
|
|
seek_large_step_sec = 30
|
|
|
|
# EQ preset: "Flat", "Rock", "Pop", "Jazz", "Classical",
|
|
# "Bass Boost", "Treble Boost", "Vocal", "Electronic", "Acoustic"
|
|
# Leave empty or "Custom" to use manual eq values below
|
|
eq_preset = "Flat"
|
|
|
|
# 10-band EQ gains in dB (range: -12 to 12)
|
|
# Bands: 70Hz, 180Hz, 320Hz, 600Hz, 1kHz, 3kHz, 6kHz, 12kHz, 14kHz, 16kHz
|
|
# Only used when eq_preset is "Custom" or empty
|
|
eq = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
|
|
|
|
# Visualizer mode (leave empty for default Bars)
|
|
# Options: Bars, BarsDot, Rain, BarsOutline, Bricks, Columns, ClassicPeak, Wave, Scatter, Flame, Retro, Pulse, Matrix, Binary, Sakura, Firework, Bubbles, Logo, Terrain, Scope, Heartbeat, Butterfly, Ascii, Firefly, Mosaic, Sand, Geyser, ClassicLED, None
|
|
visualizer = "Bars"
|
|
|
|
# Visualizer volume linking (default: true)
|
|
# When true, bar height follows the current volume level (classic behavior).
|
|
# Set to false to decouple the visualizer from volume — bars stay visible
|
|
# even at very low volume levels.
|
|
vis_volume_linked = true
|
|
|
|
# Reduce CPU usage by lowering UI cadence and disabling visualization.
|
|
# This has the same effect as starting with --low-power.
|
|
low_power = false
|
|
|
|
# Compact mode: cap UI width at 80 columns (default: fluid/full-width)
|
|
compact = false
|
|
|
|
# UI theme name (see available themes in ~/.config/cliamp/themes/)
|
|
theme = "Tokyo Night"
|
|
|
|
# Log level: "debug", "info", "warn", or "error" (default "info")
|
|
# Logs are written to ~/.config/cliamp/cliamp.log
|
|
log_level = "info"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Secrets from Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Any string value in `config.toml` can be read from an environment variable by setting the value to `$VAR_NAME` or `${VAR_NAME}`. This keeps passwords, tokens, and client secrets out of the file itself.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[navidrome]
|
|
url = "https://music.example.com"
|
|
user = "alice"
|
|
password = "${NAVIDROME_PASSWORD}"
|
|
|
|
[plex]
|
|
url = "http://plex.local:32400"
|
|
token = "$PLEX_TOKEN"
|
|
|
|
[jellyfin]
|
|
url = "https://jelly.example.com"
|
|
token = "${JELLYFIN_TOKEN}"
|
|
|
|
[emby]
|
|
url = "https://emby.example.com"
|
|
token = "${EMBY_TOKEN}"
|
|
|
|
[ytmusic]
|
|
client_id = "${YTMUSIC_CLIENT_ID}"
|
|
client_secret = "${YTMUSIC_CLIENT_SECRET}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Rules:
|
|
|
|
- Interpolation only happens when the **entire** value is `$NAME` or `${NAME}`. Mixed values like `"p@$$word"` are kept literally — no escaping needed.
|
|
- Variable names match `[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*`.
|
|
- If the variable is unset, the value is empty (the same as if you had left it blank).
|
|
- Works for any string field, including plugin config under `[plugins.<name>]`.
|
|
|
|
## Default Provider
|
|
|
|
Set which provider to start with:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
provider = "radio"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Valid values: `radio` (default), `navidrome`, `spotify`, `plex`, `jellyfin`, `emby`, `qobuz`, `soundcloud`, `netease`, `yt`, `youtube`, `ytmusic`.
|
|
|
|
You can also override from the CLI: `cliamp --provider jellyfin`.
|
|
|
|
## SoundCloud
|
|
|
|
SoundCloud is opt-in. Add the section to `~/.config/cliamp/config.toml` to register the provider:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[soundcloud]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once enabled, search works via `Ctrl+F`, pasted SoundCloud URLs play through yt-dlp, and the empty browse view is seeded with a curated set of search-backed genre playlists (**Trending**, **Hip-Hop**, **Electronic**, **House**, **Lo-Fi**, **Indie**, **Pop**) so there's something to explore on first launch.
|
|
|
|
> SoundCloud's official charts/discover endpoints all 404 through yt-dlp at present, so cliamp can't surface real chart data anonymously. The genre playlists are search-backed (results vary in quality but reflect current uploads).
|
|
|
|
### Browse a profile
|
|
|
|
Set a username to expose that profile's tracks, likes, and reposts in the browse view:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[soundcloud]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
user = "yourname"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Three playlists appear: **Tracks**, **Likes**, and **Reposts** for `soundcloud.com/yourname`. Works for any public profile.
|
|
|
|
### Sign in via browser cookies
|
|
|
|
SoundCloud closed its OAuth program in 2014, so the bring-your-own-client_id pattern Spotify uses isn't available. Instead, point yt-dlp at your existing browser session — it picks up your SoundCloud login from the browser cookie jar:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[soundcloud]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
user = "yourname"
|
|
cookies_from = "firefox" # or chrome, chromium, brave, edge, opera, safari, vivaldi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With cookies set, yt-dlp can stream subscriber-gated tracks (SoundCloud Go+) and access private likes/playlists your account is authorized for. The same cookies also apply to the player's yt-dlp invocations, so playback uses your signed-in session.
|
|
|
|
Requires `yt-dlp` on `PATH`.
|
|
|
|
## NetEase Cloud Music
|
|
|
|
NetEase is opt-in and uses your existing browser session. Sign in at `music.163.com`, then run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cliamp setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pick **NetEase Cloud Music** and choose the browser you used to sign in. Common browsers are shown as menu choices; select the custom option only for profile-specific values. The setup wizard validates the session and writes:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[netease]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
cookies_from = "chrome"
|
|
user_id = "your-account-user-id"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once enabled, the provider shows your liked songs, created playlists, saved playlists, and public charts. Search works with `Ctrl+F`, and playback uses `yt-dlp` with the same browser cookie source.
|
|
|
|
## Custom Radio Stations
|
|
|
|
Add your own stations to `~/.config/cliamp/radios.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[station]]
|
|
name = "Jazz FM"
|
|
url = "https://jazz.example.com/stream"
|
|
|
|
[[station]]
|
|
name = "Ambient Radio"
|
|
url = "https://ambient.example.com/stream.m3u"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These appear alongside the built-in cliamp radio in the Radio provider.
|
|
|
|
See [audio-quality.md](audio-quality.md) for sample rate, buffer, bit depth, and resample quality settings.
|
|
|
|
## WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
|
|
|
|
cliamp uses ALSA for audio on Linux. WSL2 doesn't expose ALSA hardware directly, but WSLg provides a PulseAudio server that ALSA can route through.
|
|
|
|
If you see errors like `ALSA lib pcm.c: Unknown PCM default`, fix it with two steps:
|
|
|
|
**1. Install the ALSA PulseAudio plugin:**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install libasound2-plugins
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**2. Create `~/.asoundrc` to route ALSA through PulseAudio:**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cat > ~/.asoundrc << 'EOF'
|
|
pcm.default pulse
|
|
ctl.default pulse
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
WSLg must be active (`echo $PULSE_SERVER` should print a path). If it's empty, ensure you're on Windows 11 with WSLg enabled and run `wsl --shutdown` then reopen your terminal.
|
|
|
|
## ffmpeg (optional)
|
|
|
|
AAC, ALAC (`.m4a`), Opus, and WMA playback requires [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Arch
|
|
sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
|
|
# Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
sudo apt install ffmpeg
|
|
# macOS
|
|
brew install ffmpeg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
MP3, WAV, FLAC, and OGG work without ffmpeg.
