#### kodi-omega

Kodi is an open-source media center that lets you play movies, music, TV shows and more.
This is an unofficial build which includes all available plugins from the official repository.
This Snap contains the **Omega** branch and supports x11 and wayland.

You can start Kodi via terminal using `kodi-omega`or by selecting it from the menu.

On the first start, Kodi will prompt you to enable or disable available addons ,
this may take a few minutes.
Alternatively, you can simply \_press "s" \_, exit Kodi, then restart kodi-omega.
This will disable all addons by default, allowing you to activate only the ones you actually need afterward.

**Make sure to enable the necessary permissions** for this Snap in GNOME (Settings → Apps) or KDE (Discover → Kodi-Omega → Change Permissions), otherwise Kodi may not work as expected.

You can also manage permissions via terminal by listing them with " snap connections kodi-omega " and enabling missing ones using " snap connect kodi-omega:dvb " for DVB access .

Or simply connect all :
`snap connections kodi-omega | awk '$3 == "-" {print $2}' | while read plug; do sudo snap connect $plug; done`

Or try my snap-permissions-manager script:
<https://github.com/Tibsun75/snap-permission-manager>

For IPTV, you will need an M3U playlist file or a membership with services such as Zattoo, Waipu, Pluto or similar providers.

Bluray KEYDB.cfg must be here : ~/snap/kodi-omega/current/.config/aacs/ , because of lack support bd+ for linux ... maybe will not work for all

Enjoy your media with Kodi Omega!

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install kodi-omega

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 can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
