VLC-Qt Error: libvlc failed to load!

[abhay]

Hello!I have been trying to deploy my application which uses vlc-qt.When I run the deployed version it gives the following error

[0000000001f9c7f8] core libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your VLC installation.
VLC-Qt Error: libvlc failed to load!
Segmentation fault

Later,when I am trying to run the application through Qt creator also,it gives the same exact error.Can anybody tell me suggest a solution for this? Thanks!

@abhay I guess you need to provide the VLC plug-ins as well, not only libvlc. I don't know where those plug-ins are, probably in a subdirectory like "plugins".

@jsulm Hi.I placed vlcpugins in my directory.But it gives the same error.Can you explain more briefly where to place the plugins and which plugins should I use?I used the plugins which are present in vlc-qt github repository.Thanks!

@abhay I never used vlc-qt, so I don't know. You should check vlc-qt documentation.

@jsulm Solved this issue by just exporting the vlc plugin path.In my case it was

export VLC_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/
