If you've already tried that and it failed - please try it again using the cli (see further down this post for example) and post the output. In KDE with Dolphin - right-click on the directory, choose "Other..." from the "Open with..." drop-down, select "VLC" from the list (beneath "Multimedia"), select "Remember application association for this type of file" => "OK".
