This code is already in a try statement inside vlcplayer.py, putting the
try right around the dll loading allows it to indicate what is actually
wrong when the issue happens, but it does not .

I think i'd need to actually load the dll inside our codebase if vlc.py
cannot be changed, recreating the vlc.py code, not sure if i can unload
it properly - it seems like it's redundant and ugly.

I think we need to discuss this with the folks at vlc, perhaps they
might have some ideas on the vlc playback issue as well.
