Install ​

  1. Open AN Player and go to the Plugins Screen.
  2. Find Funkwhale in the official plugins list.
  3. Install the plugin and open its configuration page.

Configure Plugin ​

Funkwhale requires the address of a Funkwhale instance.

  1. Open the plugin configuration page from AN Player.
  2. Enter the Instance URL — this is the web address of the Funkwhale server you want to browse. Examples:
    • A public instance: https://open.audio
    • Your own server: https://music.example.com
  3. Tap Save.

You can find a list of public Funkwhale instances at network.funkwhale.audio. If you don't have your own server, pick any public instance from that list.

If Nothing Loads ​

If the music library doesn't appear after saving, check the following:

  • The instance URL may be wrong — try opening it in your browser to verify it's a working Funkwhale server.
  • The instance may be down or unreachable — try a different public instance.
  • Make sure you included https:// at the beginning of the URL.
