I stopped using VLC to watch downloaded videos anyway - I use MPV - I like the way MPV ALWAYS resizes maintaining the aspect ration of the content being played… I only use VLC for watching TV streaming content from TVHeadend running on my RPi 3… Normally, I prefer not to enable PPA’s, as I’ve had Ubuntu come “unstuck” in the past due to shonky PPA’s - but I took a risk and installed the VLC PPA (I’m also using A PPA to get the latest InkScape): sudo apt purge vlc & sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily & sudo apt update & apt install vlcīut now what I’ve ended up with is the other extreme, a crapola modern interface that looks tablet or smartphone oriented, but not clickety-click-click desktop computer friendly… I mean, in full screen mode when watching a video or a stream, there’s NO controls, no pause, no volume, no FWD or REV, NADA! And it seems just as flaky as the “old” 1990’s UI version… So - I decide to remove, and purge VLC (was unable to figure out if it was a snap or apt/deb package - didn’t spend much time there). Not only that - despite updating Ubuntu earlier this week, and rebooting, VLC 3.0.16 is FLAKY, like a corn based breakfast cereal! OK - kinda hate the look of VLC 3.0.16 “Vetinari” (great name - ode to Terry Pratchett) - it still looks about 10+ years old - the version in Fedora 36 seems more “modern” anyway, and follows the Adwaita theming closely (on Ubuntu it completely ignores it)…
