**Issue #1:** That happens because the .desktop file sets `X-KDE-Protocols=ftp,http,https,mms,rtmp,rtsp,sftp,smb`: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/blob/master/share/vlc.desktop.in#L124 **Issue #2:** The only explanation I have for that is that totem for some reason starts reading the file from the end for some reason. If you start `kio-fuse -d` manually (kill the other kio-fuse process first) and then use totem again, what's the debug output? If totem behaves like this, only `KIO::open` support might help a bit, with the cost of increased latency. That needs support for something like `KIO::truncate` though, so might take a while. **Issue #3:** Everything is in a separate process and async already. When/how does it happen?
