To run multiple instances of VLC Media Player on a Mac, follow these steps:
Step 1: Enable "Allow Multiple Instances" in VLC settings.
1. Open VLC Media Player on your Mac.
2. In the menu bar, click on "VLC" and then select "Preferences" (or press Command + ,).
3. In the Preferences window, click on the "Interface" tab.
4. Look for the setting called "Allow only one instance" and make sure to *uncheck* it.
5. Close the Preferences window.
Step 2: Open Multiple Windows.
Once you've disabled the single-instance mode, you can now open multiple VLC windows:
1. Open VLC as you normally would.
2. To open another instance, go to the Applications folder and open VLC again or simply double-click the VLC icon in the Dock.
Now you should have multiple VLC windows running, and you can play different videos in each one.
Final Note:
If VLC still doesn't open multiple instances, you may want to check if there are updates available for VLC or reinstall it to make sure the settings are correctly applied.
