VLC media player 1.1.7 The Luggage (revision exported)

KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
There is a bug in kde
AFAIK it has not been fixed.
Things to try: If you use Oxygen theme in kde try changing it
To open a file in vlc, do it from file manager, right click open with vlc
does that help?
I have the exact same problem, and yes right clicking from Konqueror will launch vlc normally.
Since I only ever open files that way with vlc, probably why I never noticed it.
Thanks for the confirm @ionmich
Thank you very much!
I search a topic in 4rum VLC.it say “Followed the link and found, that the bug has been fixed already. Updated KDE from 4.6.0 to 4.6.1 and the problem has gone.”
I update VLC bate2 to fix it! then VLC is good, now
I have the same problem. Is there any way to avoid this problem without updating to a beta version of VLC?
