Also having this thread made it possible to avoid larger changes in the Close() function, because vlc_join works just like before, even though mainloop is actually run on main thread. I know you don't like extra threads, but then again it doesn't really increase the thread count vs. the non-hack code. The other run_on_first_thread hack does though...

Alternative version without the thread attached, confirmed to work the same way. Playing with the semaphore like that feels a bit ugly though.
