VLC on iPhone can kill a switch?

I am posting here as I have no real clue what to make off this.

I have a ClearOS/CentOS Router and had a DLink 10/100 Router feeding my WAN side as a switch only.

It worked fine for ages but I started using VLC Player on my iPhone hooked up to my Wifi.

When I go to "Browse Network" in VLC, all the sudden the DLink appears to partially lockup and not let me access some of the nodes connected to it.

A power cycle and it's fine but does it again using VLC.

I am confused how just using VLC can "kill" a switch.
