Webtorrent does not recognize flatpak installed vlc #2094

Closed kumavis closed 2 years ago

kumavis commented 2 years ago

i can run vlc from the cli as flatpak run org.videolan.VLC

kumavis commented 2 years ago

looks like this case should be covered https://github.com/feross/vlc-command/blob/3a18baefa38b8889709acdf220d9bae3a227f5b8/index.js#L64

i think the issue might be that webtorrent is also installed via flatpak and has insufficient permissions to run vlc

➜ flatpak info --show-permissions org.videolan.VLC

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
