Can't import videos - Connecting to dynamic link server failed while importing videos

I am having so many import issues now that I have migrated to Lightroom Classic CC.

I can no longer import GoPro videos. The import dialog bar hangs and then eventually a message saying that the connection to the dynamic link server failed while importing video. Usually I also get the number 35 or also 26. I have a Mac and tried going to the Activity Monitor and stopping the Dynamic Link Media Server and Manager. I also renamed the folders in the Adobe Preferences folder. All of the posts in the forum are really old and have not worked for me. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Help!!

Deleting VLC was also the key step for me. I tried other fixes, like folder renaming, and those did not help. I am on a Macbook Pro October 2013 running Catalina and Lightroom Classic 9.3. After deleting VLC I was able to import videos to Lightroom.
