VLC snap package on Ubuntu 18.04 can't play videos from Example folder

[corradoventu]

I installed VLC snap package on Ubuntu 18.04. It works fine on videos in home Videos but is unable to access videos in Example folder.
I have the message:
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "/usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/Jenyfa Duncan - Australia.ogg" (No such file or directory).
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/Jenyfa%20Duncan%20-%20Australia.ogg'. Check the log for details.

If I copy the same video to /home/Videos VLC works fine.
where can i find the log for details?

note: also

Code: Select all

sudo snap remove vlc & sudo snap install vlc --classic

does not work

The application probably runs in a container without access to /usr. That would be by Snap's design.

but reinstalling with --classic option solved the problem for accessing videos on a different partition witch was not played before without --classic option
