[Bug 1264102] Re: VLC takes long time to start playing a video file given as GVFS path in a directory containing a lot of files
It was MAY 2016, VLC still needs numeros time to get started. And than it starts with over9000 instances. I wonder whose bug is it, VLC's or Ubuntu's? -- 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: VLC takes long time to start playing a video file given as GVFS path in a directory containing a lot of files 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
[Bug 1264102] Re: VLC takes long time to start playing a video file given as GVFS path in a directory containing a lot of files
Perhaps VLC could by default start playing without having discovered whether subtitles exist? That wouldn't eliminate the problem, but it would be experienced by a much smaller group of people, and the problem would go from "video doesn't play" to "sometimes subtitles take a while to start", which would be lower impact. -- 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: VLC takes long time to start playing a video file given as GVFS path in a directory containing a lot of files 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

Could subtitle autodetection be optimized so that VLC would be more responsive?

[Bug 1264102] Re: VLC takes long time to start playing a video file given as GVFS path in a directory containing a lot of files
There are no ways to optimize directory enumeration so long as GVFS hides the directory behind CUSE. Local filesystems cannot be polled, VLC will get stuck in kernel space for however long it takes GVFS to generate a result. The only way to fix this on VLC side is to supply the SMB URL instead. -- 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: VLC takes long time to start playing a video file given as GVFS path in a directory containing a lot of files 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

Kaffeine gets the same path to a GVFS mount as VLC. Listing the files of a directory by ls takes about 4 seconds.
