Go to the control center and change
kde components - session Manager
window manager = compiz
apply
*it is advisable to not use auto login
so you might want to change that in Yast users section.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace

With desktop effects, especially compiz, it is not unusual to experience
various issues - though I can’t say I recall this.
So you have compiz enabled. And when you click VLC it starts 2
instances of it, and when you try to play a file it quits.
Open VLC and go to preferences - video section
Display output = X11 video output
try that and see if it help.
Also, let us know what version of VLC, is it from Packman or VLC.
Ideally, you should use Packman’s
