Maybe this is not the right place to ask this but, how can I play a video/music file using ranger? If I select the file it will open the binary and not play the file. Is there a way to set this up?

Thank you!

Since the ranger buffer is still a dired buffer, you can try using key bindings ! and ;& (

dired-do-shell-command

and

dired-do-async-shell-command

). Which command to use for files can be customized using something like 

(setq dired-guess-shell-alist-user '(
                     ("\\.pdf\\'" "evince")
                     ("\\.mp4\\'" "mplayer")
                     ("\\.avi\\'" "vlc")
                     ))
