Bug Description
It seems that the MPRIS control does not work, because it's based on the desktop file using the application name, and this is renamed when installing (if I understood correctly).
AIUI from the desktop team is that ${SNAP} _${APP} .desktop is created, when it should be: ${SNAP}.desktop. Eg:
/var/lib/ snapd/desktop/ applications/ vlc_vlc. desktop
Copying this to /var/lib/ snapd/desktop/ applications/ vlc.desktop works around the issue.
