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.

Research direction
Start by locating the Ubuntu Software Center and SnapStore packaging metadata for the Electron application. Verify how the displayed version, screenshot, and license are sourced, then check the resulting package in Ubuntu Software Center. Done means the v0.14 entry is resolved, the screenshot appears, the license shows MIT, and the project still builds and tests successfully.
