Comment 38 for bug 270404

"Upon selecting a video in nautilus to run using VLC, a box popped up asking for my preference of how to download album art. I could also hear the video start playing in the background, but had no way to control or see it since this dialog box was all that was there. Is it possible to set this option with a default so that the user doesn't have to deal with it? Rhythmbox downloads album art automatically, so I don't see any reason why VLC can't do this by default either."

Well, by default VLC asks at first start and doesn't do anything special. I can do a patch for ubuntu if you want to make stuffs default. Moreover --no-qt-ask-privacy will force this to not be shown.
