Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, I used to get VLC running in Wayland mode thanks to that command:
$ flatpak override --user --socket=wayland org.videolan.VLC

$ flatpak override --show --user org.videolan.VLC
[Context]
sockets=wayland;

But it's not working anymore as you can see:

$ xlsclients
HAL  gsd-xsettings
HAL  ibus-x11
HAL  gnome-shell
HAL  vlc.bin

More details:

$ flatpak run org.videolan.VLC
VLC media player 3.0.17.4 Vetinari (revision 3.0.13-8-g41878ff4f2)

I think it's a false flag, VLC doesn't work with native Wayland on version 3.x. It uses XWayland when under Wayland.
It will probably work on VLC 4 when it's released.

I am closing for now.
