Theoretically another option is to remove "smb" from the list of protocols listed in X-KDE-Protocols in the desktop files for these programs, which will force KIO to do the local download routine. This effectively implements #6 without needing to involve the distros, but still suffers from the

That's certainly another option, though I suspect they might say that it's the system's responsibility to pass them an accessible path. For VLC, I've filed https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/18982 I will do the same for MPV and MPlayer. Nate Graham On 10/25/2017 05:12 PM, Christoph Feck
