Thanks for pointing this option. I grepped out the following maybe
relative options:

$ vlc -H | grep -A4 -i gnutls
VLC media player 4.0.0-dev Otto Chriek (revision 4.0.0-dev-14728-g63a50f5439)
 GNU TLS transport layer security (gnutls)
      --gnutls-system-trust, --no-gnutls-system-trust
                                 Use system trust database
                                 (default enabled)
          Trust the root certificates of Certificate Authorities stored in the
          operating system trust database to authenticate TLS sessions.
      --gnutls-dir-trust <string>
                                 Trust directory
          Trust directory
      --gnutls-priorities {PERFORMANCE,NORMAL,SECURE128,SECURE256}
                                 TLS cipher priorities
          Ciphers, key exchange methods, hash functions and compression methods
          can be selected. Refer to GNU TLS documentation for detailed syntax.


Based on the above mentioned options, I tried with the following
command but still failed:

$ cvlc --no-gnutls-system-trust

Check the log for details.


Any more hints?
