Public bug reported: If I open a video using the dolphin file manager or via command line, it the video plays.
Once I close the VLC window and then try to open another video, I can see the VLC icon show up next to the cursor like it's about to open, but it never does. I have to do: pkill -9 vlc or kill -9 process_id to kill VLC to be able to play another video.
