Bug ID: 436553 Summary: X-KDE-Protocols fails to work as expected in some cases Product: frameworks-kio Version: git master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: stefan.bru...@rwth-aachen.de CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- E.g. VLC specifies SMB protocol support, but this may fail for a number of reasons: - The share is password protected. The credentials have to be provided in VLCs plugin configuration, otherwise it fails with "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://<host>/path/video.mp4'. Check the log for details.", the log tells "Operation not permitted"). - SMB protocol support is packaged as a separate plugin package, e.g. https://packages.debian.org/sid/vlc-plugin-samba LibreOffice has removed SMB from the list of supported protocols for the same reason: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/sysui/desktop/menus/?id=f9f9aa9873c5851da86d33ca75e937ac022206a3 Possible solutions: - Tell upstreams to do the same as LO, remove all conditional protocols - Provide means to state and detect conditional support -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
