mpv gets into a loop that depending on the disk might take dozens of minutes or hours to complete. In a network file system it might practically hang forever. Using zsh -xv to check the completion I see that the completion has increasingly bigger hangs after this part repeats:
The delay to get to the next part seems to increase exponentially. I am attaching an excerpt of the zsh -xv run. A similar symptom happens with mplayer but it does not take as long - a couple minutes instead of more than half an hour. After it finishes, it doesn't match any media file, although there are mkv files in there: No matches for: `video file', `media file', `URL', `URL prefix', or `corrections'
This does not seem to occur with any other programs, media or otherwise. For media players I tried ffmpeg kmplayer totem xine avconv avplay.

This is regarding /usr/share/ zsh/vendor- completions/ _mpv which is in the package "mpv".
If you make a dirname with lots of dots and open bracket and close bracket, like:
/tmp/XXX. X.X.X.X. X.XX.X. X.X.X.X. X.X.X.X. X.X.X.X. X.X.X.XX- X.X.X.X. X.X.X[XXXXX]
Put some media files inside, and try to autocomplete with:
mpv /tmp/XXX. X.X.X.X. X.XX.X. X.X.X.X. X.X.X.X. X.X.X.X. X.X.X.XX- X.X.X.X. X.X.X\[ XXXXX\] /<TAB>
mpv gets into a loop that depending on the disk might take dozens of minutes or hours to complete. In a network file system it might practically hang forever. Using zsh -xv to check the completion I see that the completion has increasingly bigger hangs after this part repeats:
