Hi, I'm on a clean Funtoo install and after setting up ALSA i've just tried to play some movies through VLC but it doesn't seem to be able to detect/choose the default output audio device. If i go to Audio -> Audio Device and there i choose the proper audio device then it seems to work fine. Does anyone knows how to fix this issue? This is the emerged VLC version VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42 When i call vlc from console i can see this output, i'm on KDE Plasma 5 [00000000012741f8] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

Hi all! I am having some problem with USE flags for vlc after todays sync. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies - !!!

Recently, I installed vlc in my Funtoo system using `emerge`. After installing, when I try to open the vlc interface using the command `vlc`, I get the following error : VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be) No protocol specified xcb_connection_has_error() returned true No protocol specified [0x21ea7e8] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0x21011f8] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed [0x21ea7e8] dbus interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. No protocol specified [0x21ea7e8] qt4 interface error: Could not connect to X server Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help. I'm using XFCE as my Desktop Environment. Any help would be great!
