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/rhel#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install BluePIN Player Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install BluePIN Player To install BluePIN Player, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install bluepin ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
