No, if it was a GVFS bug, it would occur also when I request Kaffeine to play the file. In the bug report I did not tell anything about the speed of listing directory content. I did not ask VLC to list files in the directory, but to play a file that is located there.

The bug may occur when I browse files in Thunar file manager (1.6.3) and use "open with" feature to play a file by VLC. Effectively, Thunar adds a path under /run/user/ as an argument for VLC or Kaffeine. If I use PCManFM (1.2.0) to "open with", a smb-url is used, instead, and then VLC does not have such a delay before playback. On the other hand Kaffeine can not play such a smb-url.

The bug still exists in VLC 2.1.4-0-g2a072be
