Bug ID: 508225
Summary: Media Frame Widget will not display pictures from a
standard SMB Network Share on a NAS, when given a
standard path via dolphin.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Media Frame widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Media Frame Widget will not display pictures from a standard SMB Network Share
on a NAS.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Very simply, I have a Network Drive with a Shared Folder. To access my
Network Drive in Fedora KDE, I simply open Dolphin File Manager > "Network" >
"Shared Folders (SMB)" > "NAS Name", then I see my Shared Folder, I bookmarked
them in dolphin and that's it. If I give Media Frame the path location, it will
not display any photos. I have confirmed this with two other helpful Redditors
on the KDE Subreddit.
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Media Frame does not display any photos.. Interestingly, if I click Media Frame
after the path has been setup, it actually opens the path to the NAS and shows
me the photos in Dolphin, it just won't display them in the frame.
EXPECTED RESULT
I give Media Frame the path to my shared folder of photos on my NAS and it
should display the photos.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
>From the Redditor who helped me track this bug:
Okay, I can replicate that now I get
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.mediaframe/contents/ui/main.qml:195:17:
QML Image: Protocol "smb" is unknown
I browsed for the shared remote directory via
smb://<nas_host>/<shared_directory> in Dolphin then bookmarked it
If you mount the drive with CIFS it will work, but this is not ideal for some.
This would allow mediaframe to use that path. This needs to be reported as a
bug though. So the developers are aware of it at the very least.
