I have a vlc that doesnt want to stop running, even after closing it.

When I run 

ps aux

, I get: 

pi       31284  0.8  2.1 288520 84592 ?        Sl   20:10   0:05 /usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file file:///home/pi/hdd/DL/Explanation%20of%20Jodan%20Part%201.mp4

but when I try to kill it with:

pkill -f vlc

but it doesnt work. Why ?

To find Process ID of the vlc , Run

ps -e | grep -i VLC

It will list the process ID of VLC as

46577 ?        00:00:58 vlc

Now to kill it , use

sudo kill -9 46577
