It doesn't include, sell or link to any content: you connect your own sources (your personal media server, your live streams or your security cameras) and BluePIN plays them on your desktop, TV and phone. **Features** * End-to-end encrypted setup: link the app by scanning a QR code with your phone or entering a 6-letter code at bluepin.club. The configuration is encrypted on your phone and only the linked device can read it — not even our servers. * No accounts, no tracking: we don't collect personal data or what you watch. * Live TV with programme guide, fast channel switching and automatic reconnection. * Video library for your own server: search, "My list", continue watching, quality selection and automatic next episode. * Plays channels most players can't (MPEG-2), converting them on the fly. * Parental control with PIN. * Connection speed test, with a warning if your connection isn't fast enough. * Keyboard, mouse and remote-control friendly. Also available on Windows, macOS, Android, Android TV, Fire TV, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Samsung and LG smart TVs. BluePIN Player doesn't provide any content. You are responsible for having the right to play the sources you connect. ### Package name * bluepin --- ### License * Proprietary --- ### Last updated * 28 September 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [bluepin.club](https://bluepin.club "https://bluepin.club") --- ### Contact * [hello@bluepin.club](mailto:hello@bluepin.club "mailto:hello@bluepin.club") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/bluepin/kubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install BluePIN Player Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
