I got to fooling around with vlc on a terminal and found you can
write vlc --help and get quite a list of things you can do. Here is some
that might help:
--ignore-config, --no-ignore-config
no configuration option will be loaded nor
saved to config file (default disabled)
--save-config, --no-save-config
save the current command line options
in the
config (default disabled)
--reset-config, --no-reset-config
reset the current config to the default
values (default disabled)
--reset-plugins-cache, --no-reset-plugins-cache
resets the current plugins cache (default
disabled)
Of course I am thinking somehow you got the wrong things in config
or plugins-cache.
