CS Player installation on Ubuntu Linux

To play media content on a screen, download and install CS Player on the controlling device and connect the player to your CS Play account.

CS Player supports Ubuntu LTS releases 22.04 (Jammy) and 24.04 (Noble) on amd64 devices.

Installing CS Player

Add the CS Play APT repository with its signing key, then install and start the player.

Adding the APT repository

curl -fsSL 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6f999c2f1bfe311dda96f9bfd9e1deff2437df62' \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/cityscreen.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cityscreen.gpg] https://packages.cityscreen.cloud/repository/$(lsb_release -cs)-releases $(lsb_release -cs) main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cityscreen.list
sudo apt update

Install and start the player

sudo apt install -y cityscreen-player
cityscreen-player

The package installs the player into /opt/cityscreen and registers desktop autostart, so the player also starts automatically on the next login.

After the installation completes, the only thing left is to connect the player to your account.

Updating CS Player

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade -y cityscreen-player

Removing CS Player

sudo apt remove -y cityscreen-player

Connecting the player to your account

There is a documentation page where you can read about connecting the player to your account.
