Thanks! I've tested building this and got it building and seemingly 
working for x86_64 (only tested that the gui starts and looks like an 
in-progress gui - you said that video playback wasn't hooked up on windows 
yet right?). I then tested building this for armv7/aarch64 as well, and 
got both working with a bit more messing around. The armv7 build starts up 
and behaves the same as on x86_64, but the aarch64 one doesn't start yet. 
I've yet to debug that and figure out what's wrong.

All the hacks I've had to do to make it work are available at 
https://github.com/mstorsjo/vlc/commits/qml-fixup. Most of them are 
probably not suitable for inclusion as is, but you can at least have a 
look at what issues I'm running into with it. (The first 3 patches are for 
building for x86_64 in general, the rest for armv7/aarch64.)
