[SOLVED] KDE Control Center unexpectedly closes

[YouCanToo]

After updating to KDE 4.8.x when running the KDE control Center -> Hardware -> Multimedia -> Phonon the program closes without warning or any notice of failure.  I ran system settings from a console window and this is the results

[dwmoar@localhost ~]$ systemsettings
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

Can anyone tell me what is going on here???   Thanks for any and all help.

systemsettings: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_vlc.so: undefined symbol: libvlc_audio_filter_list_get

Thats the line that crashes it.

If you are not using vlc backend in phonon, then delete "/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_vlc.so" file and you should be good.

vlc phonon may need to be rebuild to reflect symbol changes in vlc

I ended up removing the package phonon-vlc and this solved the issue I was having.
