Vlc on mac, how to just play videos/songs without the main menu with media library/playlist coming up

vlc

I just want to click videos and have them play, not have to close this annoying main menu screen everytime, I googled, checked settings, is it not possible?

Best Answer

A bit of guesswork required based on very little information, but try
Prefs > Video > Show video within the main window.

That will make it so the playlist window is re-used as the video display window.
