VLC is a widely used application and even though this may be their problem, don't count on them to fix it because they still haven't fixed a simple gui bug reported 5 years ago. But I'm not singling out VLC here, there are other applications I have come across that have the same behavior when it comes to gnomevfs/gvfs. The Gnome dialog simply won't let you select the shares. You have to manually navigate to their mount points. This in itself is frustrating enough, but having to right-click, show hidden files, and find .gvfs in my home folder (which I personally don't have for some reason) every single time you want to open a file with a non-gnome application is just plain stupid. Not to mention that I would have never found it if I didn't know how gvfs works.
