Description

There are several issues with the LBRY experience in the Ubuntu Software Center:

  • An extraneous version appears from the "SnapStore", v0.14
  • No screenshot appears for the app
  • The license shows as proprietary, when it is actually MIT

I'm guessing the bottom two are fixed by setting correct metadata... somewhere.
