I noticed that sometimes VLC quits normally. So the bug is inconsistent.

I realize this doesn't seem to be a big deal, but it brings the overall stability of the program into question.
It makes it look like something is "stuck", as if there might be resources that aren't being released, or any number of other things.
It's still happening in 1.1.8

When I had the same problem with an older version of VLC, I solved that issue by using the «Delete VLC Preferences» script, which can be found in the «Goodies» folder of the Install package.

If it is anything like the issue I have been having then it seems the "universal plug and play" module is the one causing the issues. To see if it is, go to the preferences, click on all, then "playlist -> service discovery", then uncheck "universal plug'n'play". Quit the application (it may still have the issue at this point), then relaunch. Do your usual stuff and then see if it quits correctly. Let me know if this makes any difference for you.

Doesn't look like it. I have none of those services checked and I've had and continue to have the quitting problem.If it is anything like the issue I have been having then it seems the "universal plug and play" module is the one causing the issues.

Next time you have the issue quitting VLC, please could you try force-quitting it and then providing the report provided by the OS. That should hopefully give an idea where it is blocking. For example when I did when I was having the issues I got:
There was a lot more in the report that that, but in my case the first thread appeared to be the most relevant.

Are you saying force-quit even though VLC isn't hanging. The Quit issue is only a problem until you switch back to VLC and then it quits. So it's not a hanging-requiring-force-quit issue.

Its not a real hang, but I just want to see if you do get a hang log. It may at least give an indication as to what is causing the issue.

No hang log when force-quitting here.

Fixed in VLC 1.1.9, which will be released within the next days.
