Ok, now I understand the real issue. The second dialog requires a second 
confirmation if
you leave the field to set the VLC path empty. That's most likely a bug. I have 
forwarded
this upstream to

I do know that - however, you don't get to this point if vlc is not
installed on first start - at least not in an obious way. mediathekview
insists on getting a path to vlc provided several times before starting.

If you leave the VLC field empty, it will bring up a separate fialog
asking you to enter the path to vlc again. If you leave it empty, the
same dialog comes up again.

At this point, I thought mediathekview would just not start without vlc
- actually, if you click OK again without entering anything,
mediathekview starts up fine.

I changed the bug metadata accordingly.

Hi,

the package recommends vlc or mpv or mplayer.  However, mediathekview
refuses to finish the startup wizard if vlc is not installed.  It seems vlc
is needed as a dependency.
