Slow startup due to plugins cache generation.

I have noticed a slow startup when initializing VLC, by default --plugins-scan is enabled if we use --no-plugins-scan the startup is much faster however then video playback does not work because VLC needs something from the plugins folder. We have tried pregenerating plugins.dat but it does not work. Even if plugins.dat is in the Plugins directory (in the actual build of application) the VLC will not pick it up. It there any way to pregenerate the cache for plugins so that it does not need to be done at startup?

Also not sure but what is default location for plugins cache, it is not in the plugins folder?
