If there was a vlc engine it got skipped due to a bug in VLC. This
bug seems to be fixed as of VLC 2.1.5 which contains the following
item in the changelog:
"dbus: Upgrade to an mpris2 compliant interface"
Given that the workaround breaks with the fixed VLC (no media control
at all), it's better to drop it and brake VLC installations which
haven't updated for more than half a year.
REVIEW: 122589
Instead of having the media control shortcuts being grouped under
"plasmashell" a dedicated component "Media Controller" is added and all
shortcuts are assigned to it.
This solves the problem if multiple processes include the dataengine, the
shortcuts would be registered in each application.
REVIEW: 122588
The multiplexer registers global shortcuts for:
* play/pause
* next
* previous
* stop
and delegates them to the active player if triggered.
This could mean that media shortcuts for non mpris2 enabled
applications might break. The advantage is that we have global
shortcuts for media control.

FIXED-IN: 5.3.0
REVIEW: 122437
There's a more correct fix to that (see the comment in the diff) but
given the situation, it's just much easier to go with this way.
