Open Vlc Media player. Choose preferences from the tools option in menu bar. Under Interface tab, disable both "Use only one instance when started from file-manager","Allow only one instance" options and click on save to save the changes.
Now you can be able to open two interfaces for vlc at the same time.
Another way to open multiple instances of vlc without unchecking Use only one instance when started from file manager in Preferences is open vlc from terminal, that is open terminal and type vlc then press enter.
This way is good for those who sometimes need only one instance, sometimes need multiple instances, and don't want to open Preferences and check and uncheck Use only one instance when started from file manager many times.
ATTENTION. this way still need unchecking Allow only one instance in Preferences.
