Bug Description

kubuntu 14.10, OpenLP r2523

When start playing a video with vlc, there are error messages on the command line:

../../../include/vlc_xlib.h:46:vlc_xlib_init: Xlib not initialized for threads.
This process is probably using LibVLC incorrectly.
Pass "--no-xlib" to libvlc_new() to fix this.
[00007fb68c003788] vdpau_avcodec generic error: Xlib not initialized for threads
[00007fb68c003788] vdpau_avcodec generic error: Xlib is required for VDPAU
../../../include/vlc_xlib.h:46:vlc_xlib_init: Xlib not initialized for threads.
This process is probably using LibVLC incorrectly.
Pass "--no-xlib" to libvlc_new() to fix this.
[00007fb674001268] vdpau_display vout display error: Xlib not initialized for threads

Mostly a note to myself for later... See if this fixes the issue:

        try:
            x11 = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('libX11.so')
            x11.XInitThreads()
        except:
            print "Warning: failed to XInitThreads()"
