Ubuntu: VLC exited with code 127

[Teskann]

Hi,

Description

Trying to open any stream / VOD with VLC fails. Output shows VLC exited with code 127.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch iptvnator from a terminal
2. Click on the + icon on top left corner
   
3. Click Add xtream code
   
4. Fill the information, click "Add"
   
5. Go in the settings
   
6. Chose VLC player (no need to set VLC path as it's correctly found by default)
   
7. Go back to Home
   
8. Launch any stream / VOD. This dialog box pops-up:
   
9. VLC is not open. In the terminal, you can see VLC exited with code 127

Expected behavior
Step 9 should open VLC with the desired stream

Desktop:

• Electron application
• OS: Ubuntu 23.04
• Version: latest official snap, 0.15.1_amd64

Additional context

I installed Iptvnator using snap. I precise the URL of the stream is valid. I tried to rebuild the app and console.log() the information about the vlc command that is run in electron/api.ts:273. If I run the command outside iptvnator with the same vlc executable and the same argument (URL as string) it's working properly. I tried to launch the stream from command in /bin/sh shell (the one that is used by child_process.spawn() on Linux). It's working as well. It seems something prevents Iptvnator to launch VLC correctly...

Do you have any clue ?

Cheers,
