This bug is present on other distros as well so it seems to be a PCManFM bug. Maybe it needs to be pushed upstream? Seems like PCManFM messes up the path so that most players, not only VLC, can't play the content. The only two players I have found that is usable is GNOME-Mplayer and barebones mplayer.
