There is no need to install client apps on every device—simply run SATS Play on your computer or Raspberry Pi, select the folder containing your videos, and it instantly generates a private local web link (e.g., 192.168.1.20:8080). Open that link in any web browser on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV to start watching immediately. Key Features: Universal Access: Watch on any device with a modern web browser. No apps or plugins required. Play Any Format: MP4 and WebM files play directly. MKV, AVI, and MOV files are seamlessly transcoded to HLS streaming on the fly without permanently altering your original files. Pick Up Where You Left Off: Smart playback tracking remembers your progress, allowing you to pause on your TV and resume exactly where you left off on your phone. Automatic Subtitles: Place an .srt or .vtt file next to your video, and SATS Play will automatically load it into the player. Beautiful Library Interface: The server automatically generates video posters and thumbnails from your files to create a premium, Netflix-style browsing experience. 100% Private & Secure: Your files never leave your home network. SATS Play works completely offline, requires no user accounts, and contains zero analytics or tracking. Built for Performance: Engineered by SATS Dot In, SATS Play runs efficiently in the background on Windows, standard Ubuntu/Linux machines, and even low-power ARM64 devices like the Raspberry Pi 5. ### Package name * sats-play --- ### License * unset --- ### Last updated * Today - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [sahinthomas.in](https://sahinthomas.in/sats-play "https://sahinthomas.in/sats-play") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/sats-play/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install SATS Play 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.

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 SATS Play To install SATS Play, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install sats-play ``` ### 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?
