[Bug 71645] Totem is unable to play media from a samba share

[Chris Lord]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

Totem is completely unable to play media from a samba share over gnome-
vfs. Other transport methods via gnome-vfs, such as ssh, work fine and
this used to work fine in dapper.

This affects both totem-gstreamer and totem-xine. Totem-gstreamer pops
up an error dialog when you try to play saying 'Unable to read from
resource', where as totem-xine seems to read the video properties
(visible in the properties side-pane), but refuses to start playing.

Mounting the samba shares with smbfs and playing like that works fine,
as would be expected.

** Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
