It seems that the issue here is the handling of urlencoded filenames. When I try to play a URL without urlencoded (%xx) characters, it opens, but not with urlencoded characters.
smplayer file:///tmp/Inception.avi works; smplayer file:///home/sikon/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE/156625.avi doesn't. It's definitely inconsistent behavior; I tested with gnome-mplayer, vlc and gwenview, and they do accept such URLs. I'll test and upload the patch.
