Vlc 3.11.1 crashes whenever I try to install a playlist. Unable to download hplip plugin for hp p1005 printer. nepomuk uses all the system resources.

Ok so I don't need nepomuk, I think the plugin may be a server down but the vlc problem is bloody annoying. I want a good kde system as i hate gnome 3 and I'm not even gonna talk about Unity.

Any help greatly appreciated.
