Hi, you don't say why you think that, but I think that statement about the
location of 'vlc' log files might be incorrect.
I am using this version:
$ apt list vlc
Listing... Done
vlc/oldstable,oldstable-security,now 3.0.21-0+deb12u1 amd64 [installed]
and this is what I see about configuring log files in 'vlc':
Main Menu > Tools > Preferences:
The "Simple Preferences" dialog appears:
Set radio button "Show settings" to "All"
The "Advanced Settings" dialog appears:
Advanced > Logger
Enable logfile checkbox
Specify log file name and format
