The log rather shows the file system is NOT mounted, since it is exposed by GVFS instead. Regardless, it seems you have put the playlist to loop, repeat or shuffle, which explains the endless loop.
But the real problem seems to be that your VLC configuration is corrupted such that it won't read directories anymore. I believe this is already fixed in VLC 2.2.0 but in the mean time, removing the VLC configuration should work around the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317304 Title: VLC unable to open directories on SMB share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1317304/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
