Description second_adress 2016-01-20 19:20:50 UTC 
Everytime I start Amarok this notification appears:
"Phonon's VLC backend failed to start.
This usually means a problem with your VLC installation, please report a bug with your distributor."

I'm not sure whether I'm right with the bug on this site. But actually I don't know the right place reporting this.

Maybe this information can help you:
