Ubuntu – vlc doesn’t run again after quit

vlc

When I open a media with vlc, it works nice until I close the window.
After closing it, it resist on memory and double clicking on any media on my system doesn't open it for playing.

I can kill it with System Monitor or Terminal command. After doing this, everything works again until I close vlc.

I have read VLC doesn't open when double-clicking file on Nautilus but the solutions don't fix my problem. I doubt that the problem is the same.

I'm tired of killing vlc again and again.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is probably a problem with the OpenGL drivers (or Mesa graphics library. See issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/116). You should change the video output mode.

Go to Tools > Preferences > Video and then set the value for Output field to XVideo output (XCB).
