Mouse Support

Scroll Wheel: Scroll through search results, playlists, and the queue.
Left Click: Click on tab icons at the top to switch between views.

Smart Queue

In the Options tab, you can trigger the Smart Queue. This feature analyzes the currently playing song and automatically finds similar tracks from the same uploader or with similar titles to keep the music flowing.

Customization

Themes

rs-pug comes with several built-in themes: dark (default), light, nord, gruvbox, and mono.

You can add your own themes by creating .json files in ~/.config/rs-pug/themes/.

Example mytheme.json:

{
  "text": [255, 255, 255],
  "dim": [100, 100, 100],
  "muted": [150, 150, 150],
  "info": [0, 255, 255],
  "warn": [255, 255, 0],
  "ok": [0, 255, 0],
  "primary": [255, 0, 255],
  "accent2": [200, 0, 200],
  "accent3": [100, 0, 100]
}

EQ Presets

Your custom EQ presets are stored as .json files in ~/.config/rs-pug/eqpresets/.

Local Music

By default, rs-pug scans ~/.config/rs-pug/music-local/. You can change this or add more directories in the Options tab. The app supports natural sorting and metadata extraction.

Playlists & Storage

Data is stored in a SQLite database at ~/.config/rs-pug/pug.db. Legacy JSON files are automatically migrated on first run.

Import path: ~/.config/rs-pug/import_playlist.json
Export path: ~/.config/rs-pug/exports/<playlist_name>.json

Plugins (Lua)

Drop Lua scripts into ~/.config/rs-pug/plugins/. They are loaded automatically and can react to keys, search queries, and playback events. See docs.md for the full API reference.

Lua plugins that change the stock UI are opt-in. Add this to ~/.config/rs-pug/config.toml to enable the new UI hooks (on_ui_config, on_ui_sections, on_ui_update, and on_ui_inject):

[lua]
allow-lua-ui-changes = true

The default is false, so legacy plugins using on_key, on_event, on_tabs, or on_ui_panels continue to work unchanged. When UI customization is enabled, plugin load/hook/layout issues are captured as non-fatal warnings and shown in the statusbar instead of crashing the app.

Configuration

Config file path: ~/.config/rs-pug/config.toml.
