Hey guys, im trying to Flatpak the hit rythm game Friday night funkin because i got fed up with it being a simple executable, i used ldd on the game and found what dependencies it needs, the only one i needed to add was Libvlc.so.5 and libvlccore.so.9, so i added them to the lib folder and the game starts now without throwing an error that it needs those 2, then when the game tries using hxvlc it spits out an error saying it couldnt find or use libvlc, so now my questions

how do i add libvlc to my flatpak??

i tried adding all the related libvlc libraries but that didnt work

i tried adding org.videolan.vlc as an add-extention but that didnt even do anything…

someone please help
