#### A focused video player with subtitles, resume and canvas previews

LinuxPlayer is an open-source video player for Linux, powered by libmpv. Play local video files in a clean window with controls that hide during playback. Open a file from the app or drag it into the window.

**Playback**

* Seek, change playback speed, and choose audio or subtitle tracks.
* Resume a video, switch to fullscreen, or use the compact mini-player.
* Use keyboard shortcuts; press F1 in the app to see them.

**Canvas previews**

Preview common or custom aspect ratios, then choose Fit or Fill. This changes only the playback view; it does not edit or export the video file.

**Install**

On an amd64 Linux system with snapd, run:

```
sudo snap install linuxplayer
```

Open LinuxPlayer from the app menu or run `snap run linuxplayer`.

To play videos from a removable drive, connect the optional interface:

```
sudo snap connect linuxplayer:removable-media
```

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install LinuxPlayer

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 [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/linuxplayer/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

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 LinuxPlayer

To install LinuxPlayer, simply use the following command:

```
