Title:
  Starting OpenLP on Linux without VLC causes traceback

Status in OpenLP:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Found in 2.1.6 on Linux.

  Starting OpenLP on Linux without VLC installed causes a traceback and
  OpenLP doesn't start.

  The traceback:

  $ ./openlp.py -ld
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/tgc/projects/OpenLP/code/trunk/openlp/core/ui/media/vendor/vlc.py", line 106, in find_lib
      dll = ctypes.CDLL(p)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/ctypes/__init__.py", line 351, in __init__
      self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
  OSError: libvlc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
