syncplay: Syncplay and VLC on Ubuntu causes syncplay.lua error

Hello,

When starting synplay I get this error:

VLC has reported that the syncplay.lua interface script has not been installed. Please refer to https://syncplay.pl/LUA/ for instructions.

This seems to be an old issue but this is with syncplay 1.6.4 and VLC 3.0.8 (both installed via snap) on Ubuntu 18.04. Thank you

AFAIK this is resolved in latest version so closing. Let me know if the issue recurs.

It has definitely not been resolved in my experience using the latest stable build from the Snap Store.

I also tried with syncplay from snap with apt-vlc (sudo apt install vlc). It didn’t work. the versions were: Snap v1.6.4 and vlc v3.0.9.2

I then tried vlc v3.0.9.2 (apt install) with syncplay-appimage (synplay v.1.6.4a). This worked.
