I've dealt with that also, I believe it is a codec problem. I've dealt with it in Arch and Debian systems as well, usually with remote filesystems I just unmount the drive and VLC will then stop. I've never been able to fix it but I am certain it is an issue with a codec.

Well I didn't want to bother anyway with it just wanted to watch some tv shows

Correct, but not just remote streams, also with local media files
