No, if it was a GVFS bug, it would occur also when I request Kaffeine to play the file. In the bug report I did not tell anything about the speed of listing directory content. I did not ask VLC to list files in the directory, but to play a file that is located there.
The bug may occur when I browse files in Thunar file manager (1.6.3) and use "open with" feature to play a file by VLC. Effectively, Thunar adds a path under /run/user/ as an argument for VLC or Kaffeine. If I use PCManFM (1.2.0) to "open with", a smb-url is used, instead, and then VLC does not have such a delay before playback. On the other hand Kaffeine can not play such a smb-url. The bug still exists in VLC 2.1.4-0-g2a072be -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264102 Title: gvfs takes ages to list SMB directory content from VLC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1264102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
