Still present in 20.04 (Focal) with vlc 3.0.9.2-1, though here at least
it seems to only affect some URLs, not all. When I view a stream from my
local webcam, vlc -vvv in the terminal shows
main playlist debug: incoming request - stopping current input
as the final message, and does not exit (after closing the window;
Ctrl-Q still works). But when streaming from Wowza's RTSP test stream
[1], vlc exits just fine after closing the window.
Debian bug 916595 [2] and related VLC ticket [3] mention disabling
hardware acceleration as a workaround, but even so I was unable to make
it work (i.e. exit properly).
Possibly related: Ubuntu bug #1847162. There's also been discussion
about the issue over on Manjaro forums [4].
