This bug is not "invalid". The comment #4 is not a solution, since "your SMB credentials" vary depending on the server that one wants to connect to. The SMB credentials of the respective shares are saved in my keyring and PCmanFM uses them to mount SMB shares.
Also: Opening videos on SMB shares with VLC using Nautilus or Nemo as file managers works perfectly. So it is neither a VLC issue nor a SMB authentication issue.
