   I had a similar issue to this but with VLC. When I installed from the   
   Ubuntu Software store, it seemed to install the snap version, which was   
   either an update or two behind the terminal install with sudo apt   
   install vlc, or just missing some codec extensions. Either way, the snap   
   store version wouldn't run anything and the terminal installation would.   
   Weird.
