vlc has the bug on my system that when it uses qt5 the video is not scaled. I'm compiling vlc-2.2.1 with USE="-qt5 qt4" and it works. When I do the same with vlc-9999 I get the video scaling bug.

With QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 vlc I can see which qt-plugins are used.

The same problems with media-video/vlc-2.2.9999 .
There is an upstream bug for that https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11772 and that directs me to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541678 Then I read on the versioned ebuilds "${FILESDIR}"/qt4-select.patch is only applied to the versioned ebuilds for now and not to the live ebuilds. I hope upstream will add the patch to the source in future. I think I have to try qtchooser.
Please add the patch line and the lines in configure() to the live ebuilds too because that still works as wanted.

I prefer to use the vlc-9999 since a long time with qt5. So I don't know if it is still needed.
