It may be a bit early, but phonon-vlc is the only remaining phonon backend and vlc-4 will be released at some point hopefully, being Qt6 based.

Attaching full build.log.

Initial attempt to fix the VLC4 build.

I put together some quick hacks to get phonon-vlc to work with the current git version of VLC4.

Main differences:
* The old track API (which was in deprecated.h) is completely gone. The new tracklist API must be used instead.
* Several enum values were renamed and/or removed.

I'm not sure how to properly reimplement MediaPlayer::setSubtitle() or MediaPlayer::setAudioTrack() yet.

I'll submit this on the KDE GitLab instance later.
