By default Drift streams songs, so playback starts right away even for hour long tracks. Set `download = true` to cache songs on disk first (this also prefetches the next song). If YouTube asks you to sign in or playback fails, set `cookies_from_browser` to the browser where youre logged into YouTube. If you alr have a `config.toml`, add the `[audio]` section by hand, since Drift never rewrites it.
|
||||
If you already have a `config.toml` from an older version, add the `[audio]` section by hand, since Drift never rewrites the file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming or downloading
|
||||
|
||||
By default Drift streams songs, so playback starts right away, even for hour-long tracks. With `download = true` songs are cached on disk first, and the next song in the queue is fetched in the background while the current one plays.
|
||||
|
||||
### Discord rich presence
|
||||
|
||||
This is off by default.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create an application at https://discord.com/developers/applications. Its name is what shows up after "Listening to".
|
||||
2. Copy the Application ID into `client_id` under `[discord]` in `config.toml`.
|
||||
3. Restart Drift.
|
||||
|
||||
Your status then shows the current song with cover art, album, a progress bar and a "Listen Along" button. If Discord isn't running, Drift keeps retrying quietly in the background.
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom keys
|
||||
|
||||
The keys in the table above are the defaults. To change them add a `[keys]` section to `config.toml`. Each line sets an action to one key or a list of keys and replaces that action's default keys; everything you leave out keeps its default.

| `DRIFT_STATE_DIR` | where Drift keeps the saved session |
|
||||
| `DRIFT_MPV_ARGS` | extra arguments passed to mpv |
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Drift says mpv or yt-dlp is missing.** Run `drift --check` to see which one, and install it with the table in [Installing mpv and yt-dlp manually](#installing-mpv-and-yt-dlp-manually).
|
||||
|
||||
**Playback fails with "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot".** YouTube wants a login. Set `cookies_from_browser` under `[audio]` to a browser you're logged into YouTube with (for example `"firefox"`), then restart Drift. Updating yt-dlp also helps, since YouTube changes things often.
|
||||
|
||||
**The lyrics panel doesn't show up.** It needs a terminal at least 70 columns wide. Make the window wider or use `F` for fullscreen lyrics.
|
||||
|
||||
**`drift: command not found`.** Make sure `~/.cargo/bin` is in your `$PATH`.
|
||||
|
||||
**`gb` opens the wrong album.** Drift looks albums up by album and artist name, so it can guess wrong, and the song needs album info to begin with. `:album <query>` lets you search for it yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
You can run several Drift windows at once. Only the first one restores and saves the session, and playlists saved from different windows are merged instead of overwritten.
