Operating System: It's...blue screen

Clone the video, or open up two VLC media players and drag you’re videos to the individual playlists. I don’t remember it being able to open two videos from the same player, maybe this will be possible in the future. :?:

Hmm… well it seems to be working fine on my computer, and I’m running VLC version 0.8.6a. So you didn’t find this in the “Advanced” menu? Make sure to select the “Advanced options” box.

If you still come up with nothing, then delete you’re preferences folder and see if this changes anything. Sorry if I couldn’t help you any further.

Try Settings -> Preferences... -> Advanced
Check "Advanced options"
Uncheck "One instance when started from file", and "Allow only one running instance".
