VLC client profile

So far after reading on the VLC forums it appears they are very aware of the DLNA issue but not anywhere near fixing it yet. VLC will index your entire library before you can browse it and it processor speed appears to make a difference of how long that takes. Combine that with the large libraries everyone has collected now days it does take a bit. The ability to browse by genre would be nice but just like Paul said just browse directly to the file if your on a pc.

I really hope VLC change their strategy. Scanning a media server's full library before displaying the media server is (frankly) a crazy idea. Some users will have 500K files with 1000s of folders. This will take enormous time and possibly enormous memory to scan the full library. And, media servers may deliver dynamic content - for example, videos from web sites, etc. that change every few minutes.
