Its a very good thing that ubuntu 11.04 has allowed to use vlc media player. But I cant use 1 interface of vlc to use this,means if i play a file in vlc and and start another file then it doesnt overwrite but it is opening another vlc player. Secondly I cant drag a media file and put it on vlc to play it. Is there any solution for this or its lyk tht?

If you want to open the file in same VLC Windows just click the open tab and click open by selecting the file from the location it is saved in.

open vlc -> tools -> preferences -> interfaces -> check "allow only one instance"
