The problem is that this warning is only relevant to Linux
distributions. Why should we display such warning on macOS/Windows where
Videolan, is the one doing the full VLC package (with ffmpeg built from
our contribs). Therefore, the error message is wrong, since this is
indeed "an error inside VLC media player" in that case.
I don't know what is the proper solution, but limiting this to only
__linux__ seems to be a decent solution for now.
