Comment (by dbevans):

 I haven't had an opportunity to test VLC on Sierra as yet (that machine is
 otherwise busy) but does this patch actually work after building?  As I
 understand it the patch just removes references to QTKit in open.m without
 making any suitable replacement.

 Perhaps a more rigorous fix would be to port open.m from QTKit to
 AVFoundation which is the recommended replacement on Sierra.  This has
 been done recently in upstream VLC master although it hasn't been
 backported to the 2.2 maintenance branch.  See
 https://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=183373239d8ab567c2a2f014c88b93b461e08b35

 There's been a lot of water under the bridge between our 2.2.x version and
 master but at least this might serve as a guide on how to proceed.
