Python doesn't split the arguments, you've already split them.  And
you're not using shell=, so you don't invoke bash.  However, the shell
example (not using python) DOES split the arguments by spaces, and you
have to replicate what the shell would do.

Beyond that I cannot help.  I'm not at all familiar with vlc.
