A fork of the Cider v1 player, aimed to maintaining it to be happily running upon Linux desktop, with some fixes not in the original upstream.
This Cider build still requires a valid Apple Music token (not account!) to work. Unfortunately, this is costly: an Apple Developer Program subscription is required to generate a valid token ($99 USD per year). Please read https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicapi/generating_developer_tokens for more information.
This build by default still requires https://api.cider.sh/v1/ returning a working, valid token -- currently I could not help with this if it does not work :-(.
You could press "Ctrl+Shift+I" to open devtools, switch to "Console" tab, and see if there's any error message related to, for example, expired token.
This build supports TOKEN_API env, which you could provide a custom API endpoint to fetch the token like this:
TOKEN_API=https://example.com/token flatpak run sh.cider.Cider # or ./cider, or anything you likeTOKEN_API requires returning a JSON object with token like this:
{
"token": "xxxx"
}To persist this, you could edit the .desktop file installed (Exec line). If you're using Flatpak, use Flatseal to add this environment variable.
Currently, FIDO2 support with Flatpak is a bit messy -- FIDO2 requires USB accesses, and currently the only way to do that is to allow it to access all devices.
Portal support is still in development slowly:
- flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal#989
- https://alfioemanuele.io/dev/2024/01/31/a-vision-for-passkeys-on-the-linux-desktop.html
If you don't have a security key, you can change --device=all to --device=dri (GPU access is still required for hardware acceleration), with tools like Flatseal.
