Can't play Navidrome media

Issue description:

Hello,

I’ve recently setup Navidrome running on a Mac Mini on my home network.
The media shows up on Symfonium but I can’t play it.
I was on the November 1st version and I got media playback errors. I’ve updated to the latest version and now the app tries to play repeatidely and makes requests to the server on a loop.

Here’s one of the requests in the navidrome logs, it seems to be successful.
Trying mp3 or flac files doesn’t seem to change anything.

Edit : I should also mention that Symfonium worked fine on my media when it was hosted on Jellyfin.
Also I’ve used the Subsonic configuration, but left it to default.

Check the rest of Navidrome logs, you are probably missing the proper ffmpeg install.

Good thinking, I had noticed this being mentionned somewhere (but not on their install guide) but I had other issues in the meantime so I forgot to go back to it.
Will install it and report back.

Ok there was indeed an issue with my ffmpeg install (navidrome couldn’t find the ffmpeg executable).
For posterity, I had to uninstall ffmpeg, upgrade and cleanup homebrew, reinstall it, and point to a new path (returned by calling which ffmpeg in the terminal) that was different from the default in the .toml config file.
