Looks *very* much like a duplicate of bug 20020.

Does vlc work for you after running the command mentioned here:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20020#c3

> strace /usr/lib64/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins

(The reporter there said it needs to be repeated after every vlc update)
