If I start VLC from Finder, the windows shows up on top. But if I start VLC from the command line using vlc command (using either Terminal or iTerm2), the VLC window is never shows up on top. I have to use Command + Tab to switch to it. This is very annoying. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Btw, I don't want to make VLC always on top of other windows. But it should get focused (on top) when it starts.

@NimeshNeema Thanks a lot for the reply. Well, ifvlc file.mp4is considering an argument, then both. Either way, VLC will not start on top. To clarify,vlcandvlc file.mp4both will put VLC window on bottom. They have the same behavior.

If you wish to use command-line to:
- open a media file with VLC player
or
- simply launch VLC player
simply execute the following in the terminal emulator of your choice, respectively for above cases:
open file.mp4 -a VLCopen -a VLC
where file.mp4 is the media file that you wish to open.
This will always cause the VLC media player window to show on top.

yeah, that works.. vlc has its own command line. I thought I won't need to create a shell script for this purpose, but I was wrong. I will write a script then. Thanks a lot again.
