Ah, not mine AFAIK. The portfile I submitted on Trac *probably* contains a VLC-devel port for 3.0.0-150503-g7385062d (my local copy does), but I don't think I tried building or using that one since May last year (1505).

If you only installed those libraries for VLC then you shouldn't lose much. You would however have more definite proof whether your issue is due to something with the MacPorts build or in VLC itself. If the latter, you should take it up on the VLC bug tracker.
