    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.
