Some years ago I remember I had an indicator in KDE which clearly indicated the culprit. For me it was usually Chromium back then. I haven't seen that recently and I have no idea what provided that info. It seemed like a part of KDE. Maybe it was unreliable and was removed? Or maybe it never existed. I can't find anything relevant with Google. Of course, you might consider replacing VLC, since that seems to cause your problem.
