which part of strace do you refere to? It works for me so not sure what you mean.
run /usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file and pass %U yourself

I wrote what I started the program and brought strace after that.
I run: /usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file b.mp4
Error at this point: EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
I remove the parameter started-from-file and the video starts.

it works perfectly here and there is nothing related to this that is packaging related.
If you think this is a bug, report it upstream but is looks like a system configuration issue.
