SMB slow
Description
Hello,
I tried using VLC on my android Pixel 8a device to play videos and audiobooks from my network smb drive. Playing works fine, no interruptions or long loading times. Indexing my media library however takes forever. There are a few hundred mp3 files for my audiobooks and VLC takes more than half an hour to discover and list them all in the "Audio" tab in the app. Switching to smb1 did not help. Any other file explorer app works fine and instantly. Nightly version did also not help.
Kind regards Andreas
Expected behavior
Indexing and listing files as albums should be as fast as any file explorer lists them.
Actual behavior
Discovery takes a long time
Steps to reproduce
- Add a SMB folder to Settings > Order der Medienbibliothek
- Let VLC start discovering those folders
