The application "VLC" cannot be opened

Postby leeby » 03 Jul 2019 21:15

Hey Guys,

Sorry in advance if I'm not posting this in the correct section.

I've been unable to open VLC for a couple of months now, it just bounces in the doc for a second or two then closes. I get the error The application "VLC" cannot be opened.

I've tried reinstalling - installing older versions etc and I'm just really stumped and frustrated trying to figure out the problem now!

Have you guys got any idea on how I can fix it?

Thanks

Lee

try using an uninstaller application to Tempe it all the way from the system. restart, then reinstall. I have had better luck with the latest nightlies VLC 4.XXXXXXX because you are on the latest consumer OS X. I'm Using OS X 10.15 Beta 3 and the latest Beta Nightly from VLC
