Video Flicker on load

I've noticed that there's a significant "flicker" effect going on when I play a video using LibVLCSharp.WPF. I occasionally see a small amount of flicker in VLC itself when I press "play" to start a video, but the flicker I see in the video using LibVLCSharp.WPF is a lot more significant (it only lasts about a half-second, but it's like the video window is flickering multiple times before the video actually plays). I don't know if this is because I'm creating a LibVLC and MediaPlayer instance each time I'm loading the view; my next steps will be to create global lifetime objects and pass them to the views to use, and see if the flicker goes away, but I'm wondering if this is a known effect that maybe I'll just have to "deal with."

Thanks.
