Failing to save playlist - Fedora 30, 3.0.11.1, flatpak

Postby Toxidious » 16 Jan 2021 22:00

VLC installed as flatpak.

The problem - I cannot save any playlist file. Whenever I save - doesn't matter if it's from within playlist and right mouse click menu or the main window Media --> save playlist to file - the menu and dialog appear correctly, but no file actually gets stored at the disk.

So far I have checked:
  • VLC runs under the user I use, checked via htop.
  • The user have all neccesary rights to where the file is supposed to be written. I tried to save several places, also in home/documents with same result.
  • I tried to save in different formats - M3U, M3U8, XSFP - no difference, still not creating the actual file.
  • VLC is tha only program that seems affected. All other programs - also those installed as flatpak - are able to save files in the same folders.
How comes. Is this a bug, should I repport it?
