Hmm, sounds like it would. The vlc.desktop file uses %U in Debian as well and handles the file:// URLs correctly. The VLC bug report sounds like they have changed the handling of such strings in VLC.
Maybe we should file a bugreport at the smplayer BTS as I couldn't find such a bug existing there. _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
