I used the guide above to 1-click install multimedia codecs. (that actually didn’t work, I had to install libav).
If I run VLC from the cli, I can load a file and play it. If I open Dolphin and click on the file I just get a bouncing VLC icon on my mouse cursor, but VLC never launches.
This is all I get from the command line:

Did you really install libav? Or do you mean libavcodec or similar?
libav is a complete fork of ffmpeg, you should not install both.

Can you run VLC from the K-Menu and load a file?

I thought you can run it fine from CLI?
So does it work now or not?
Does the nvidia driver work? Please install the package “Mesa-demo-x” and post the output of:
Well, this isn’t necessary any more if it is working, but everything looks ok, except for that 2 superfluous repos that caf4926 already mentioned.
Everything in those two repos is also included in the full Packman repo which you have as #1, so they are unnecessary.
You mean libvo-aacenc0? But that should be installed automatically via dependencies…
Did you get some conflict then? Maybe you selected “break libavcodec55 by ignoring some of its dependencies” at any point (maybe in the past)?
I did a lot of fiddling with it last night so who knows. I try very hard not to click any option that claims to break something. It doesn’t sound very healthy.
