Title:
opening a large number of videos with vlc causes delay and
unresponsive vlc
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. download a free MPlayer test file, like
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/MPEG-4/video.mp4 and move it into /tmp/a or similar
2. replicate it by running (requires a few GB of free space depending on the
deduplication facilities of your filesystem)
```
import shutil
for i in range(0,1000):
shutil.copy("/tmp/a/video.mp4", "/tmp/a/video-%d.mp4" % (i,))
```
3. open /tmp/a in nautilus, select all files and open them with VLC media
player through the context menu
Instead of putting all files in the VLC queue like Ubuntu 17.04's
nautilus did, an ~"opening in progress" dialog is opened blocking the
UI for almost a minute while consuming 100% of all CPU cores. If the
above is done during high memory consumption of another process
hundreds of VLC processes are started and the display manager crashes
(but that's another issues). If random playback is configured in VLC,
it's ignored and always the last video is played first.
The is no apparent reason why multiple files cannot be opened like in
17.04.
