Looking at mediathekview it recommends the package `vlc` and therefore
it should have been installed. Not sure how I ended up with `vlc-nox`.
I’ll check when I have access to the system again.

Good to know. So either this bug is about mediathekview for some reason
just pulling in `vlc-nox` instead of `vlc` or about the issue you
referenced. I’ll report back in the next days.


Thanks,

Paul
