I experienced what I believe to be the same issue on Ubuntu 12.04 32bit with both ftp:// and smb:// links opened from nautilus. Both links are to my local password-protected NAS. I haven't encountered this problem in other programs yet. I recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 64bit, enabled universe, updated and installed restricted-extras. The issue perceives with VLC playing .mp3, .mkv h264, .avi, etc. I have not yet saved the password of the NAS in the keyring or added it to the bookmarks, just opened a new link, insert user/pass, 'save only for this session', navigate to file, open with vlc which givings the error below, and after verify that programs like rhythmbox are able to play it.
VLC: File reading failed: VLC could not open the file "/run/user/.../gvfs/ftp:host=.../.../....mp3". (Input/output error) Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///run/user/.../gvfs/ftp%3Ahost%3D..../....mp3'. Check the log for details. After I close the error and VLC I end up with no VLC window, just the icon in the top menubar. I can navigate the menu and click on play/open/hide etc, but nothing visually happens. ps aux |grep vlc gives me: xatr0z 8575 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zl 18:27 0:01 [vlc] <defunct> xatr0z 8994 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?
