VLC VA-API acceleration broken in snap packages 3.0.16 for Ubuntu
Hi,
With VLC 3.0.16 installed from snap, hardware acceleration with vdpau is not working :
VLC media player 3.0.16 Vetinari (revision 3.0.16-0-g5e70837d8d)
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Using VLC installed from apt /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vdpau/libvdpau_va_gl.so is properly used by VLC and error disappears :
VLC media player 3.0.9.2 Vetinari (revision 3.0.9.2-0-gd4c1aefe4d)

Thanks for your support !
PS : it seems that this issue exists for some time now because I already found it referenced on snapcraft
