Bug ID: 436553
Summary: X-KDE-Protocols fails to work as expected in some
cases
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
E.g. VLC specifies SMB protocol support, but this may fail for a number of
reasons:
- The share is password protected. The credentials have to be provided in VLCs
plugin configuration, otherwise it fails with "VLC is unable to open the MRL
'smb://<host>/path/video.mp4'. Check the log for details.", the log tells
"Operation not permitted").
- SMB protocol support is packaged as a separate plugin package, e.g.
https://packages.debian.org/sid/vlc-plugin-samba
LibreOffice has removed SMB from the list of supported protocols for the same
reason:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/sysui/desktop/menus/?id=f9f9aa9873c5851da86d33ca75e937ac022206a3
Possible solutions:
- Tell upstreams to do the same as LO, remove all conditional protocols
- Provide means to state and detect conditional support
