VLC Media Player Editor's Review

VideoLAN Client is a free, open-source media player which allows you to view a wide range of multimedia formats starting with DivX, VCD, DVD and ending with live streaming or CUE/BIN files.
Its simple interface makes it very easy to use and the 'Preferences' panel contains advanced options for advanced users. Using the program, you can visualize a large variety of multimedia formats without installing extra codec packs. VideoLAN Client 'Preferences' give you access to the customization of video and audio filters, codecs, output modules, subtitles, etc. The interface is skinnable and the program has multi-language support.
Pluses: Some nice features are the Mozilla Plugin, ActiveX plugin, Context Menus and the option to delete preferences and cache. An important advantage is the fact that VideoLAN Client comes with all the needed codecs embedded so that you needn't install extra codec packs. You can also watch a stream from a network sent by the VideoLAN Server or another source. The stream can be MPEG 2 TS in UDP or HTTP packets unicasted or multicasted on an IPv4 or IPv6 network.
Drawbacks / flaws:
In conclusion: A complete, reliable and versatile media player. Excellent!

Windows

In versions 2.1.x and 3.x.x playing multiple VLC instances and different streams in each is as easy as clickingTools → Preferences... (or just pressCtrl+P):

• in the Interface tab scroll down to playlist and instances
• untick checkboxAllow only one instance
• untick checkboxuse only one instance when started from file manager
• PressSave.

This allows users to use more than one VLC player at a time. Once you've done the above you should be able to play as many VLC instances and video or audio files as you like.

macOS

On the Mac, running multiple instances of VLC is not supported out of the box.

As a workaround, you can create a Droplet/App that does the following:

• launch the VLC droplet/app to get a separate instance of VLC,
• drop one or more files onto VLC droplet/app, or
• associate your .mov, .avi, and other files directly with the VLC droplet/app, allowing you to simply click on the files to launch the files in a new standalone VLC session.

Vlc Mac 10.5

Paste the code below into a new AppleScript Editor script and save it as an application.

File Association with the Droplet/App can be done as follows:

1. OpenFinder and find the video file of interest
2. Right click on the file (assumes you have right click enabled)
3. Choose Get Info
4. Under Open with:, click dropdown and select the VLC droplet/app
5. ClickChange All button
6. If prompted 'are you sure', select 'Yes'.
