The VLC icon shows up for every new video I open in the header (near the settings/power/shutdown bar). Is this due to snap install? Should I try .deb install? Is there a better mp4 video player?
Am I not exiting the VLC program properly? Leaving it running in the background?
[SOLVED] If you hit the X in the upper right corner to close the window (like you would in Windows 7), it leaves the process running; if you go to Media -> Quit (Ctrl + Q), it ends the process, seemingly, correctly.
Is this a bug?

I have solved this issue in another thread, should I delete this thread and maybe one more "useless" thread, and just leave the one with the actual solution? Or just copy/paste solution into all two/three threads and mark them all as SOLVED?
Here is the [SOLVED] correctly thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2456926

This universe is crazy. I'm going back to my own.
Not sure where to post this, but I think the VLC Player (Media/Video Player) and the Snap Store don't work well together. I killed the Snap process, and VLC Player seems to work well now... i'm gonna try to find a .deb package for VLC Player.
[SOLVED] sort of
edit 2: maybe snap package does something with the VLC Player's cache? Just a hunch.

No, it isn't related with snap or not snap.
The same problem of the hanging process has been noticed recently with both versions.
smplayer + mpv for the win
