I'm having the same problem with OpenLP 2.9.5 on Windows 11. The VLC version I have installed is 3.0.18. It happens for both video and "linked audio" (on slides). I have "Loop playing media" de-selected (if I have it selected, it properly replays the whole thing).
Is there anything I can look at to help figure out what might be going on? I'm a software engineer, but know nothing about the OpenLP software itself. I could probably poke around if pointed in some direction.
Another thing I've noticed, but don't know if it's related: I have "Start Live items automatically" disabled in the Media preferences. However, all my media (video & linked audio) starts playing automatically during our service. I'm wondering if it's related only because it's about when media starts playing.
