Taking the example provided in this thread, mplayer fails because it does not use gvfs. It is compiled with libsmbclient directly rather than relying on a middleware like gvfs or gnome-vfs. That's why its console output is taking about /home/lex/.smb/smb.conf.append. This is squarely an mplayer issue.
It's merely unfortunate that mplayer uses the same smb:// URL syntax. The chances are you can specify smb://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/test.avi on the mplayer commandline. I appreciate that 'ubuntu' is providing the package, but only from multiverse, so it is provided even more "as-is" than most! -- [hardy][gvfs-smb] Some applications do not working with protectetd smb-share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
