[vlc-devel] Re: problems with many libvlc instances

[Damien Fouilleul]

I confirm, you CAN create multiple instances of libvlc, however there is 
an issue on WIN32 when more than 2 instances are created, it seems to be 
located in the plugin detection. Ideally this part of the code (and some 
others) should only be executed once for the first instance (heavyweight 
instantiation) and shared with subsequent instances (lightweight 
instantiation).
