This actually is kind of nice way to start the app, shows messages in terminal, running as 32 bit does not affect the issue

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/Applications/OpenLP.app/Contents/MacOS/
This caused serious errors, conflicts with core libraries which have same function names

Tried this...
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6149673/class-foo-is-implemented-in-both-myapp-and-myapptestcase-one-of-the-two-will-be

$ export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/Applications/OpenLP.app/Contents/MacOS/
$ arch -i386 /Applications/OpenLP.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenLP

when i did this, it started to be consistent regardless of vlc version
with openlp as well

Title:
  VLC backend for Mac OS X

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  VLC backend does not work on Mac. Instructing OpenLP to use vlc
  backend causes OpenLP to stuck and the application is not responding.

  Video playback starts when not trying reset video playback in openly.
  However the issue is that playback start in an external window and not
  in openly window.

  Getting vlc backend to work is platform specific thing and this needs
  to be implemented specifically for Mac.

  The issue is: Force vlc backend to render video inside a Qt window of
  OpenLP.

  To fi this we will need implement similar code like the following file:
  http://code.google.com/p/movie-content-editor/source/browse/trunk/VLCMacVideo.py

  Technically speaking wrapping native Mac OS X NSView window into class
  QtGui.QMacCocoaViewContainer.
