Its going bad with VLC MAC catalina
For many years I have VLC as my player but since Catalina, VLC is a headache.
If I click the VLC icon it takes minutes and some extra pushing on that Icon to get VLC open!
If its open and I opening a Video and wait too long there is no sound and has to close VLC and open again!
The most bad part is: VLC don't want to close!!
If I close VLC it keeps active (small dot under icon) Every-time.
I have to force quit in mac menu
I get a report to send to Apple what tels its a 'stack' problem!
Okay what I did
