You need to launch VLC multiple times.
I am using LibVlcWrapper to play video on c#. I have a TS Stream with some services on it. i want to select a channel( service ) from it t play. i pass an argument and select it and it work correctly.
But i want to play 2,3 or more channel from TS Stream on seprate window.
how i can do it.
this is a sample of my code for one channel :

IMediaPlayerFactory m_factory;
IVideoPlayer m_player;
IMedia m_media;
m_factory = new MediaPlayerFactory()
m_media = m_factory.CreateMedia<IMedia>("192.168.1.100", new string[]{ "program=206" });//,new string[]{"program=206"});
m_player.WindowHandle = tabControlPanelTV2.Handle;
m_player.Open(m_media);
m_media.Parse(true);

m_player.Play();

from what i read, this is a osx limiting feature, only allowing you to run one instance of a program, hence requiring you to open a stand alone everytime you click on a video, after you click on open with in get info
