Doesn't work and showup in VLC 3.0.5 Snap version #52

I installed it with VLC 3.0.5 installed from Ubuntu Software on my Ubuntu 18.10. But it doesn't work. It's not showing up anywhere in VLC Preferences. Maybe a change was made in VLC 3.0.5. Can you look into it?

3.0.5 is not the issue, the plugin works fine with VLC 3.0.5, the issue here is the Snap, it doesn't allow loading additional plugins, or at least so it seems. See the discussion in https://github.com/nurupo/vlc-pause-click-plugin/issues/33.

Oh I see. Ok thanks. You may close the issue now.

Yeah, we bashed our heads trying to make Snap VLC load the plugin but it just wouldn't see it. Your best bet is recompiling the entire Snap VLC yourself with the plugin included.

i know this is old but thought i would share, to install plugins when vlc is installed via snap you need to put them in this directory ./snap/vlc/current/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/

at least this is what works on ubuntu 20.

@shaunstone That's for lua plugins only. It will not work for this plugin as it's not a lua extension.
