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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264102 Title: gvfs takes ages to list SMB directory content from VLC Status in “vlc” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The problem files are located in certain folder, whose name is "music". Files on other folders play fine. If I copy a problematic file to another folder, it plays fine there, but not in the music folder. And while it is trying to start to play the file, vlc does not respond, if I order it to quit. Even killig by signal 1 or 15 fails, but I can kill it by signal 2. It seems VLC can read the file; it can show media information. After several minutes playback starts.
