Last version of Mint included vlc player that I could click files over and over, and each would get its own player window. Newest ('quinoa' i think) version's vlc defaults to 1 player at a time, like if i'm trying to open 4 videos at once (lol) to run them simultaneously, I can't do that... i click the 2nd file, and it starts playing in the same window the 1st file was playing in.
I haven't found a work-around, i imagine there's something (or maybe go back a version of vlc?) I know this is random problem but it does matter, i imagine it's implicit why lol
Newest VLC defaults to 1 player at a time?
