The objective is to install the VLC media player by using both, EPEL and RPM fusion repositories on CentOS 8 / RHEL 8 Linux. VLC media player is a portable cross-platform media player software and streaming media server developed by the VideoLAN project.
On my system, I needed to explicitly add qt5-qtsvg, otherwise I would get only a CLI interface to VLC. So my installation command was:
dnf install qt5-qtsvg vlc
So it seems there is a missing dependency in the vlc package.

Dear Sandmann,
sorry for being quite for so long. The problem was a missing dependency for the vlc-core 3.0.9-22.el8.x86_64 package.
