Hi there,
Can someone help me resolve this issue, I'm not able to play media files across a network from a server. I'm able to connect to the remote share and open PDFs, pictures and other docs but no videos.
I tried VLC, this results in a MRL error, Mplayer errors with an error 2 - All I believe is file access issues. I don't believe there is an active firewall. I have tried installing other desktops with the same issue with the exception of GNOME3. I have checked GVfs is installed - I'm not sure if that's appropriate to the problem.
At the moment I'm using XFCE, is there additional plugins needed for the file manager to allow the likes of VLC, Mplayer to play remote video files? Like I say every other file format opens and saves to from the remote share ok.
