[Bug 241448] Re: Playing from Samba SMB shared folder now is not possible (it could be done until last upgrade).

[Deon Spengler]

Hi all, thanks for the help.
I have installed the updates from hardy-proposed, problem still exists

Before update totem-gstreamer gave and error message but totem-xine did not give a error message, it just did not work.
After update totem-gstreamer still gives same error message and totem-xine now gives error message as well

How I access the files:

I use nautilus to browse to the shares on my network then I double click to play the avi's
Files on the share are only avi which are either xvid or divx encoded

Client Side:

Totem 2.22.1 using xine backend
xine-lib version 1.1.11.1
libsmbclient 3.0.28a-lubuntu4.3

What works:

mplayer will play the files
vlc will play the files
totem will play the files if I go via .gvfs/sharename

What does not work:

using nautilus to browse to the share then double clicking on the file.
Using totem to open location smb://192.168.0.2/myshare/movie.avi

Server Side:

I have 2 servers
1.) Ubuntu 8.04
2.) Windows 2003 Standard Server

Error Massage when trying to play files

Share on Ubuntu 8.04
totem-xine error: There is no plugin to handle this movie.

Share on Windows 2003 Standard Server
totem-xine error: There is no input plugin to handle the location of this movie

Note everything works fine either with mplayer or vlc.

"Can you provide log files"
which log files would you like and where will I find them?
