VLC not displaying picture:
- Sometimes during a power outage the power is restored and the PPS camera comes up before the switch. The PPS camera tries to setup a multicast, but fails
- restart PPS camera to restore VLC image
- One time someone tried to make changes to VLC and created a "lock" file
- This will prevent the image from displaying
- /home/physics/.config/vlc
