Withc VLC a config file is created per user and there is no global configuration.
The path is $HOME/.config/vlc/vlcrc.

As far as I understand, the content of /etc/skel/ is magically being copied in the user directory.
So I modified the architecture as follow :

etc
|-- skel
|   `-- .config
|       `-- vlc
|           `-- vlcrc

I tested it, and it works, what do you think ?
Should I fork the anon-apps-config repo on github, and make a pull request ?

Looks good!

Should I fork the anon-apps-config repo on github,

Yes.

and make a pull request ?

• Pull request is one accepted way.
• Another accepted way is just posting to any branch and posting the branch name here.
• Currently it's even accepted to to commit to you fork's master branch and then I'll merge that as well. (However, in case we'd ever reach a dead-end you'd have to reset your master branch.)
• Other suggestions?

Please pick the most comfortable one.

I'm fine a with a pull request !
Do you have other tasks for me ?

I have just a simple question, how do you know if somebody is not already working on a task ?

Qubes specific, testing should be easy but if it's broken maybe not easy to fix:

T772 has stalled as well.

By name only means "do not ask".

Stop VLC.
Delete VLC config.
Start with your config.

Does the metadata collection show up as disabled in VLC settings?

If yes, this is ready to merge. Even easy enough for Whonix 14.

Answering the meta questions here for me was not so clever this it created these references. Not a big deal either. However, better to have a development forum thread.

Hi !

The name is confusing I agree.
But it actually does disallow metadata network access.

qt-privacy-ask=0	qt-privacy-ask=1
No pop-up asking for allowing metadata	The pop-up is showing and asking for metadata collection
Correctly disable in VLC settings	Either have to check it or not (If you close the popup it also disallow metadata collection)

Merged.
