VLC 3.0.11 compiled from source in FossaPup64
Lua is enabled
The only thing I had to add was libmatroska (this is included in the package - I used the official Ubuntu Fossa library).
Without this I found that some audio formats did not play in .mkv and .webm containers.
This is a later version than the one offered by Ubuntu and will not drag in unneeded dependency bloat.
Runs as root out of the box.
Some rox right-click associations added.
Experimental build uploaded for testing along with some others here:-

It runs as spot with profile in /root/snap2. It's larger than the chroot vlc from stretch I have already posted.

This is my experience running the @OscarTalks .sfs:

The h264 error is trying to play the original source file in .mp4.

The audio plays but the video doesn't.

The WMV2 & WMA2 errors are the source files converted to .wmv format in FFConvert. No audio or video.

I boot Tahr to run VLC but thought I'd give 32 Xenial a try.

It doesn't seem to make a difference running the larger or no-dependencies version.

The era of the Oscar/smokey version is close to Tahr's & that's what I'd prefer to run in Xenial perhaps with fewer dependencies in the .sfs.

UPDATE:

If you want Xenial install the .pet

or the .sfs I made from it: viewtopic.php?f=88&t=3964

They work.
