Features: * Drag and drop playlist * Loading external mpv configuration files * MPRIS2 D-Bus interface * Wayland support **NOTE :** * To access files in Removable media use `sudo snap connect celluloid:removable-media :removable-media` . * NVIDIA hardware acceleration mayn't work ( ) . * Yt-DLP isn't bundled due to it needing frequent updates & maintenance burden. ### Package name * celluloid --- ### License * GPL-3.0+ --- ### Last updated * 6 December 2025 - latest/stable * 5 December 2025 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [celluloid-player.github.io](https://celluloid-player.github.io/ "https://celluloid-player.github.io/") --- ### Contact * [launchpad.net/celluloid-snap](https://launchpad.net/celluloid-snap "https://launchpad.net/celluloid-snap") * [codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/sameersharma2006/celluloid-snap "https://codeberg.org/sameersharma2006/celluloid-snap") --- ### Source code * [git.launchpad.net](https://git.launchpad.net/celluloid-snap "https://git.launchpad.net/celluloid-snap") * [codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/sameersharma2006/celluloid-snap/src/branch/main/snapcraft.yaml "https://codeberg.org/sameersharma2006/celluloid-snap/src/branch/main/snapcraft.yaml") --- ### Report a bug * [bugs.launchpad.net](https://bugs.launchpad.net/celluloid-snap "https://bugs.launchpad.net/celluloid-snap") * [codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/sameersharma2006/celluloid-snap/issues "https://codeberg.org/sameersharma2006/celluloid-snap/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/celluloid/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Celluloid 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 On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` 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 Celluloid To install Celluloid, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install celluloid ``` ### 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?
