#### A configurable, terminal based Media Player Client with album art support

Rmpc is a beautiful, modern and configurable terminal based Music Player Daemon client. It was inspired by ncmpcpp and aims to provide an alternative with support for album art through kitty image protocol without any ugly hacks. It also features ranger/lf inspired browsing of songs and other goodies.

Written by Mierak on Github.
Find the upstream code at <https://github.com/mierak/rmpc> and documentation on their website <https://mierak.github.io/rmpc/>

If you want to use the playlists feature, make sure your mpd.conf file uses /var/snap/rmpc/common/playlists for the playlist directory to make it available inside snap confinement.

The configuration file is located in /var/snap/rmpc/common/config.ron and can be modified there.

This snap requires MPD to be installed on the base system. This may change in the future.

Rmpc is still maturing. It is stable for daily use, although breaking changes, while rare, are sometimes unavoidable.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install rmpc

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
```
