Multi track interface

Hello.
We have 4 video tracks packed into one MP4 file.
Given this file, VLC opens 4 video windows and plays these tracks. Great!!!
BUT!!!
In all Linux computers except one, it opens the windows one over another.
In all Windows computers it opens the windows cascaded with small offset.
In one Linux computer (which does not differ from others!!!) it opens them tiled - exactly what I want!!!

So, the question is - how to tell the VLC to always open 4 windows in tiled mode?

Many thanks ahead.

VLC does not decide where the windows are spawned. That's the job of the window manager.

Thank you, Remi.
Please, can you explain your reply a bit more?
I made several GUI application in my life, but am not very strong in this.
(In my applications I defined the window position).
Mainly, I just want to understand how to control 4 these windows in Windows.
Sorry for stupidity...

There are no ways to control this in VLC. Use a tiling window manager or something.
