Anybody knows how to quit VLC app (VLC v3.0.10) from Mac Terminal? already tried "killall VLC" and "vlc://quit" to no avail. If I quit the already open instance from MacOS GUI, a new instance start automatically!

The 'quit' command sometimes is not working in VLC3.0.10 under Terminal in MacOS 10.12
When running a conversion in command line,
$vlc -I dummy -v ... vlc://quit
the program stops after the conversion (which is correctly executed) but does not execute the 'quit' command
[00007fe02565bf30] main mux warning: no more input streams for this mux
[00007fe0257e6d60] idummy demux: command `quit'
Hence, I need to force quitting VLC via the "Force Quit..." menu
When executing 'quit' alone, it does work. It doesn't make any sense to call VLCjust to quit, though.
My diagnostic: the state machine driving VLC is corrupted after a transcoding, unable to run the 'quit' command, even though it recognizes it.

Hi, interesting find. Can you maybe share a full command line to reproduce the issue?
