Troubleshooting

When creating this app, i ran into the following errors (can only be seen from terminal output but will slowdown startup times by 3-5 seconds):

[000002b64bb7dd80] main libvlc error: stale plugins cache: modified C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\access\libnfs_plugin.dll
...

So the way i found to fix this was to run the following command in a admin terminal:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc-cache-gen.exe" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins"
