Public bug reported: Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Nautilus 2.32.0 VLC media player 1.1.4
I presume vlc came from deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/n-muench/vlc/ubuntu maverick main but it does not matter, this is an old bug that's been around for at least a year, or more. Description: When I drag and drop a file that is visible through a mounted smb share from nautilus to vlc, vlc silently refuses to play the file. No error at all is given. On the other hand, if I right-click that same file and choose "Open With VLC media player" vlc happily plays the file. I've come across a similar old bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/211632) related to vlc not playing smb bookmarks from nautilus, might this be related? How to reporoduce: - mount one smb shared directory with at least one media file in it - open vlc - drag and drop the media file to the already opened vlc window and nothing happens. Now: - close that vlc window - in nautilus right-click the same file and choose "Open With VLC media player" and vlc happily plays that same file. I would be happy to provide more info if needed. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Drag and drop from nautilus to VLC with files over samba donesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664030 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
