This is a guide to get the latest vlc to work on jessie backports.
$git clone https://github.com/videolan/vlc.git
For some reason libvpadu1 depends on the latest systemd
$sudo apt-get upgrade -t jessie-backports systemd
$sudo apt-get build-dep -t jessie-backports vlc
$cd vlc
$./configure
$ make
And thats it! You now have a working debian vlc binary!
