[Bug 1448634] [NEW] VLC menu items don't enable during playback

 

Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to 15.04 (and hence Unity 7.3.2) I'm having trouble with
the menus in VLC.

Several items on the "Video" menu are disabled when playback is stopped
and are meant to become enabled during playback.

I initially reported this as a bug in VLC, but they reckon it's a Unity
issue as the right-click context menu works fine:
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=125719&p=422755#p422755

I have confirmed this happens with both Statusbar menus and Locally
Integrated menus. And I can also confirm that on the last day of 14.10
before I upgraded it was working fine in that version of Unity.

I've also confirmed that changing to different VLC packages (such as
those from PPAs) does not resolve the issue.

Thanks for your help!
