Run '/usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f /usr/lib/vlc/plugins' as root

That solves the problem, thanks. Do you think this should be called upon installing qt4 phonon vlc plugin through hook?
Comment by Antonio Rojas (arojas) - Sunday, 18 September 2016, 14:51 GMT
There is already a hook that runs this upon installation of vlc plugins. phonon doesn't install any such plugin.
