No properties page for VLC video source #81

When I install the snap of obs-studio and add a VLC video source there are not properties available to specify the VLC details.

I'm testing with latest/stable: 25.0.8 2020-09-02. The OBS docs say

This source type will use the VLC libraries for extended media support over the built-in Media Source. It requires that VLC be installed on your system to show up as an available source in OBS. I speculate that the snap does not have access to the VLC libaries. Initially I had VLC also installed as a snap but installing via apt made no difference. Only by installing both VLC and OBS via apt was I able to get the expected screen. image

I have read, and tried, the various snap connect commands listed in the Github README even though none appeared to be relevant and confirm none of these helped.

Please advise what further I can do to debug?
