      True. They created x265 afaik. I literally only layer libavcodec-freeworld on Fedora Kinoite and thats all I need. VLC does everything. BUUUT the Flatpak is not official! And there is already VLC 4.0 out! So helping the Dev is always important, and Videolan would make it officially maintained like the snap, if the Flatpak devs approach them and explain everything etc.

      Oh. I was reading OP’s problem, and didn’t understand. I’ve been on Fedora for a while and never experienced this, but VLC is one of the first programs I install on every new distro.
