[Bug 69504] Re: Cannot play movies on shared network drive (SMB) using Totem

[Panagiotis Issaris]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 60326 ***

Xine-ui SMB browsing seems broken. I see the network groups appearing,
but the hosts within only appears now and then. If the hosts do appear,
and I doubleclick on one of them, it shows no content.

It seems xine can't use an smb://server/share parameter on the
commandline, so I can't try to circumvent the browsing problems as they
seem to be rather common (I reported a problem with Edgy's SMB browsing
earlier).

The /usr/bin/totem binary of the totem-xine package seems to be linked against
libgnomevfs too:
takis at issaris:/usr/local/src/mplayer$ ldd /usr/bin/totem|grep -i vfs
        libgnomevfs-2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0 (0xb7710000)
So, I am not sure if it is using its own SMB implementation or using gnomevfs's.

gxine couldn't play SMB files either.
