Is dbus running?
Sorry, after starting dbus, vlc working korrect. Sorry for the Bug Report!!!
Obviously vlc should check its pointers so yes, this certainly is an (upstream) bug.
Should probably be changed to something like "Please make sure dbus is running".
Already fixed upstream: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1589 It's expected to be fixed in 0.8.6h
fixed in 0.8.6h
