What desktop are you running and how are you starting vlc? I run KDE and the vlc from rpmfusion and have never seen this issue. In KDE you can modify the menu item to start vlc. So, if you use KDE or a DE that allows that you can start vlc from within a script and at the end of the script use killall to kill any stray vlc processes. That would at least be a work around until any bugzilla you file gets addressed. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
