Normally dragonplayer works with phonon-backend-gstreamer and
phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer by default. He also can work with
phonon-backend-vlc and phonon4qt5-backend-vlc, but in the current installation
dragonplayer fails with

" ~/.dragonplayer> dragon
PHONON-VLC [FATAL__] libVLC: could not initialize
PHONON-VLC [FATAL__] Phonon::VLC::vlcInit: Failed to initialize VLC "

If dragonplayer should work with phonon-backend-vlc
there must be added a symbolic link during installation:

/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins
must be linked to
/usr/local/lib64/vlc/plugins

dragon is only searching in /usr/local/lib64/vlc/plugins, not in
/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins and can not start the phonon-backend-vlc. If this link
is added dragonplayer can work with phonon-backend-vlc and
phonon4qt5-backend-vlc.

If in systemsettings/multimedia/backend "Phonon VLC" is in the first row,
dragonplayer will only work, if there is the mentioned link added.
