Even with "MPRIS" enabled in the settings, Sunamu only shows the album cover.

Hello there,
Thank you for this awesome application. I just downloaded 2.1.0 release as AMD64 deb.

I installed it on my KDE 22.10 linux machine.
I'm using Spotify deb as my player.

The song title and artist are displayed correctly, but not the thumbnail.
Also the buttons, play pause, previous, next are working fine too.

Nevertheless the lyrics are showing properly but unfortunately they don't follow along with the song.

Also for the first second the playing position bar on the bottom appears, then it disappears, which makes me think that Sunamu is not able to fetch the time related information about the song, hence the time bar disappears, and hence lyrics don't sync.

I've tried checking the configuration, but it is set as default and karaoke: true.
No logs are output when run from the terminal.

If any further info is needed I'll gladly comply.

Thanks,
Paul.

Leaving this issue to track Windows issues with logs. Logs are everything. Everything, I say.

(Please only report when testing from upstream)

Currently, for each update that Sunamu gets, a callback function updateInfo is called with the current update as its argument. This function runs asynchronously and it does a chain of asynchronous stuff:

• update the shown information once, right after the update was pushed (first point of suspension)
• gather more information about the track being played (lyrics.. etc) (second point of suspension)
• update the shown information again, to push all the remaining information to the renderer process(es) (third point of suspension)

Now, if updates were sparse in time, this would've been a non-issue since there'd be plenty of time for the neat completion of any and all of those function calls; however, if a person skips really fast or if they have a bad Internet connection that delays the information gathering, then we are presented with race conditions.

We must avoid those race conditions, and mark as "out of date" all the updateInfo calls running, except the very last one

When using Jellyfin on the Sonixd client, lyrics lag about half a second behind.

Thanks for making an AppImage for Linux.

Hi
Is it possible to support Flatpak/Snap?

It's great how many different lyrics Sunamu can find! However, some of them just don't exist (music too new/too niche) or the syncing is wrong. I like adding my own synced lyrics to the ID3/Vorbis tag so that they are correct.

Would you consider checking the file tag, then for a .lrc file, and then checking other online sources?

I'm trying to run this with GNOME 42, unfortunately while it works, I have noticed the CPU temperature climbs almost to 60C, normally it sits about 36C.

With filter, the framerate seems to drop when the background is changing:

With backdrop-filter, seems more smooth with no frame drop:
https://cdn.korbsstudio.com/2022-01-15-19-35-58.mp4 (Dead link)

Usually adding something basic to CSS should help, kinda like:

.background::before {
     position: fixed;
     top: 0px;
     left: 0px;
     width: 100%;
     height: 100%;
     backdrop-filter: blur(64px) brightness(50%) saturate(150%);
}

As you can see the metadata in the lyrics is showing up and it is driving me insane

If one sets the Lyrics to false the app still thinks the window is that large so there is no way to drag it up near the top of the screen.
It would be nice if the app resized if no lyrics used. I'm using GNOME 42.

Hello. I just installed Sunamu in windows 11 and the widget disappears when I open any application and return back to desktop.
I have to click on taskbar( normally where time is shown) so that widget can return. Is this windows 11 only problem? Any resolution.
It absolutely works fine in my Ubuntu and Manjaro distribution. I am using it with Vivaldi Browser and YT music. Vivaldi is chrome based so identification works fine.

Hi
Is it possible to support Audacious, Elisa, Musikcube?

I've tried AppImage, flatpak and deb and none of them seem to work either.

edit: I'm on Ubuntu 22.10

Full disclosure: This is a paid feature request.

Implement some way to choose the current provider for the lyrics per song. Implement a way to refine queries for songs (by manually specifying artist and title and album, for example).

This can be hacked around first, done it proper later.

Does the musixmatch flatpack work?

This post complete the answer at #73

where I can put the " .lrc / .srt " file ?
I see "local: true" on the config.json but where I can add the "folder location" ?

Aside from that, you don't need to move your local .LRC files from where they belong (in pair with the tracks you're playing.)
Note that Sunamu does not support SRT files, and you need a compatible local music player to get local lyrics (such as Strawberry Music Player.)

Hello,
thank you for your answer,

What is the "local:true" values for ?
https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/Sunamu/blob/48f99900e2b9e0a7352f6d4d96b19df808f895c5/assets/config.json5#L69C10-L69C10

Because I mean, I have a youtube video, the player can found the title of the music, but there is "no lyric" for that, so, where I need to add the file ?

I was using Sunamu for a bit and then had to do something else, so I left it in the background in one of my tabs.
Later on my laptop went to sleep, and when unlocking it and going back to Sunamu's browser tab, the whole UI shifted to the left and the updates are no longer working (see screenshot)

As the devtools suggested, the webserver is no longer accessible, though I don't know if it happened before or after sleep (but my guess is after).
Indeed, Sunamu is nowhere to be found in the task manager.

Please make this app run in background/system tray.
and any way to change lyrics provider?

appreciate your work. this app is awesome.

i recently switched from GNOME to KDE Plasma and i've been getting this weird graphical issue where the ui keeps overlapping itself. it could just be kde, because it worked fine on gnome i use Pop!_OS 22.04 :)

there's no errors when running it through the terminal, i feel like i didn't give enough information, so if you need more i'll happily give it

Sunamu will probably never have a configuration GUI because since it is not based off React, Vue or anything like that, making code to handle dynamic configuration can only be difficult at best.

However, I guess that manually editing a configuration file is simple enough if there are clear instructions on how to properly edit it.

This issue is here to remind me to update the configuration file with all the arguments actually supported in Sunamu (it currently misses a few) and to comment on each and every section of the configuration file.

system language is "en" but when no lyrics are found it writes in wrong language. other then the one specified
example

I know, I KNOW, there are some lyrics that contain multiple timestamps. I just do not know how to fix that at the current time.

• #13 Guess it failed
• #14
• #20

Stuff that is not coming

• macOS support
• Spotify Connect (you have the original project for that)
• Fixed Spotify support on Linux (not our issue, but theirs)

Stuff that I am actually willing to do

• Quality of life improvement on UI and UX
• Nothing else

Running the RPM makes NPM complain about not having the sharp package installed.
Do I really neep to install npm for the sharp package?

I am on 2.1.0 (official .pacman build)
denyList in my configuration is empty

dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames | grep org.mpris.MediaPlayer2

      string "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.chromium.instance768356"

Having the option to choose other providers would be great. I've run in to handful of songs so far that have no lyrics displayed because of NetEase not having them.

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to use the appimage on Ubuntu:

$> chmod +x Sunamu-2.2.0/AppImage
$> ./Sunamu-2.2.0/AppImage
[lyricsOffline.js:convertUncompressed:68:23] Cannot convert uncompressed lyrics; probably the cache path does not exist.
[lyricsOffline.js:statCachePath:85:23] Cannot stat lyrics cache path; probably it does not exist.
sunamu: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_SunamumtyBXM/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/sharp/build/Release/sharp-linux-x64.node: undefined symbol: vips_fail_on_get_type

I don't know what's wrong and how to fix that
on internet, some people said we need to update npm install sharp@latest
but with an AppImage I don't know how to do that.

also question 2, where I can put the " .lrc / .srt " file ?
I see "local: true" on the config.json but where I can add the "folder location" ?

Regards

Hi!
I just installed the RPM package and wanted to try it. Just found this error. Can you tell what to do? A missing lib?

nice program. came across it by total accident. was experimenting installing different aur helpers and sunamu happened to be on the recently updated package list on the aur home page. good for me! haha

i'm on archlinux

i installed the musixmatch-bin package from the aur. launched it, but it just brought up a sign up page. not sure if it is necessary to launch that or keep it running in background. sunamu seems to work without it. I am getting lyrics (most of the time). sometimes i dont, not sure why

Rendering the background pins my CPU near 90%, Turning off the background solves it. Maybe my PC is garbo

Personally used sunamu for a while. and suggested it to a streamer. his complaint was that the widget takes a lot of unused space when nothing is playing in the background. in this case if the option is enabled then "all" of the elements in browser source shall not be rendered.

It works fine on KDE-Plasma, but it does not recognize when music is played with google chrome on cinnamon desktop enviroment.

When one hovers the mouse over the application it expands to show the player controls. Is there a setting to always show the player controls and not have it collapse?

Sorry in advance as I'm not exactly as well versed in all this as I'd like to believe I am.

I downloaded the AppImage file for Sunamu and found out I couldn't execute it, even after checking if all the permissions were enabled. I then tried to execute it on the terminal (./Sunamu-2.2.0.AppImage) but got this error message:

• OS: Ubuntu 23.10
• Node: 20.11.0
• NPM: 10.2.4

Hi, thanks for making this great app.

I want to ask whether the window can set as always-on-top?

• Compress data with a text-efficient data compression algorithm to take up less space.
• Limit the overall cache to a reasonable, user configurable amount, in megabytes.

Full disclosure: I was going to do it anyway, but I got paid for it too.

Ditch Electron and its shitty 100MB requirement to package an app. Embrace Rust, so Tauri.

This issue is blocked by a number of things that are not inside this repository.

For now we have

• Rust Windows binding for music control

We lack

• Rust macOS binding for music control
• Rust Windows binding to keep the window at the bottom (Z-index)
• Rust Linux binding for music control
• De-electronifying all the code
• Running the front end code in Tauri (as a front to the Node back end we have)
• Porting the back end to native Rust to use inside Tauri

TL;DR I need this to work on macOS but I do a shitty job at being a developer. Developers needed. H E L P

Long version:
Here at Sunamu I am committed to the support of every desktop platform on planet Earth. After porting the project to Windows, it only makes sense to port it to macOS; however, the road is bumpier than I imagined.

• For starters, there's no obvious way to get what's playing on a Mac, because there's no equivalent of a global Now Playing API and a third party application can only officially control the Apple Music app.
• Going the AppleScript route means that there'd be no events and everything is polled explicitly by Sunamu, which will reduce responsiveness and overall performance; also, synchronized lyrics are a time sensitive matter, so having reasonably short poll times and async events is a must. Plus, if using AppleScript scripts Sunamu must know in advance which app is open and playing music, or brute force through a list of known media players; all of which is not ideal.
• We could do it like other (native) lyrics applications do it: by making a custom Objective-C framework that exposes us the MediaRemote private framework; but Objective-C doesn't really do well with NodeJS and Electron, plus I lack the knowledge of building a native ObjC addon that can talk to the Node context.
