There's an issue in vlc player that it won't run when you are logged in as root. I don't know the reasons, may be its developers have some security concerns.
Anyways, you can make it run as root by following a simple series of steps, assuming that you have already installed it & it's running in case of other users.
Follow these steps:
$apt-get install ghex
OR
$apt-get install ghex2
It might be possible that your OS repository don't support ghex version. In that case type apt-get install ghex & hit. In my case it was ghex2.
It will take some time.

- After installing, open the vlc binary file /usr/bin/vlc in hex editor.
- Now, search for the string 'geteuid' inside the binary file.
- Once you find the string replace 'geteuid' with 'getppid'. Append the string with caution, an wanted change can crash vlc. Just try to replace 2 characters eu with pp, by just pointing the cursor in insert mode to e & replace it with p, again replace u with p.
- Now, you can run vlc as root.
