I RDC onto my server and try to play video files in VLC, the interface opens, it then tries to start playing the file I have either double-clicked or dropped on to the VLC window but it pauses for a very long time before the playback starts.
I have switched verbose logging on and see this -
This is written to the debug log just before the long wait for playback

This has been bothering me for a while but I have just go around to troubleshooting, point being that it was happening before the recent 2.2.1 release so it's not just a problem for me with the current release.
Also, I don't think it's flietype / codec specific as it happens with all kinds of files/containers/codecs.
