VLC-appimage VS AM

VLC https://github.com/ivan-hc/VLC-appimage from 200 to 119

Hi everybody, I've a problem with the usage of H264 codecs into the VLC AppImage at https://github.com/ivan-hc/VLC-appimage

VLC (latest stable version built from a PPA for Ubuntu 18.04, updated each Sunday).

The other poster asked you to check so the file chooser window, the window that asks you what file to open which didn't appear for you when you pressed the "Open..." button, isn't just appearing behind the window of the program. This is in order to see if your issue is an already existing one or whether it's a potentially new one. Literally the same troubleshooting procedure you've asked people to do yourself in your own repositories: https://github.com/ivan-hc/VLC-AppImage/issues/1 https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-AppImage/issues/1

I recently discovered AM App Manager, it's app manager for appimages that have system integration and you can update all your apps with one command. Take a look at it's catalog to see if your app is supported.

I use https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-Application-Manager to install App image, to include Neovim. By default it currently installs Version 10.0 and creates the symlinks.

I have been working on two CLI tools to install AppImage packages system wide and locall (they are AM and AppMan respectively). I've also written a website that acts as a catalog and a better source for downloading them all for real, https://portable-linux-apps.github.io !

In conclusion, I feel really confortable with docker/podman/distrobox/junest... but I also like a lot AppImage packages, so I'm trying to merge both. Something I learned all this time I use Linux is that there is no distro, no package format, no software... that can really satisfy my needs. The best hing I can do to solve this situation is to built it by myself (this is my main project, I named it "AM"). I spent two years to create what I like, after a decade as a common Linux user that uses what distro/package mantainers had to give, and this make me feel better. This last point is the main reason because all these distros and software solutions exists in GNU/Linux.

This is one of the 1700 installation scripts of my project.

I started writing AM/AppMan two years ago, it was just a custom script to install and always keep any Appimage package I needed updated to the latest version. Then become something much bigger.

Sure https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-Application-Manager I have already tried with lowercases words but I don't like that, that's why I've chosen uppercased text. "De gustibus non est disputandum", Romans said.

I like containers, I've tried Junest and docker/podman/distrobox... also I work a lot with portable apps (see here) and I've also published a website for them (here) so I'm amazed on how you've built something that can merge them! I'll include it on my catalog (also I'm writing an installation script for it). Thank you!
