Description

Describe the bug

When VLC is installed with Flatpak, its config file is located at ~/.var/app/org.videolan.VLC/config/vlc/vlcrc

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS and Version: Fedora 42
  • Python Version: 3.13
  • Player and Version: VLC 3.0.21 Vetinari (Flatpak)
  • Trakt Scrobbler Version: 1.7.2

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

$ trakts test vlc
Testing connection with vlc.
Please ensure that vlc is playing some media.
Failed to autoload value from any of '/home/entibo/.config/vlc/vlcrc', '/home/entibo/snap/vlc/common/vlcrc': File not found
Config value autoload failed for vlc.
Could not start monitor for vlc

This can be worked around by setting the VLC web server port and password:

trakts config set players.vlc.port "8080"
trakts config set players.vlc.password "hunter1"

Maybe add this to the documentation?
