Bug ID: 15178
Summary: Thunar does not add ${USER} to sftp:// links when
passing them to an application (needed for VLC, et al)
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Thunar
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: General
Assignee: xfce-bugs@xfce.org
Reporter: jcoll...@asgardsrealm.net
CC: be...@xfce.org, hj...@xfce.org
Target Milestone: 1.8.5
When attempting to open a remote (SFTP) media file associated with VLC, I'm
prompted for a username/password. This happens even when Thunar itself can
access the location using my gpg/ssh agent and key without prompting for a
username/password. In looking into this, it seems this is due to the URL that
is being passed from Thunar to VLC not having the ${USER} in it. I've verified
this by browsing to a remote file in Thunar, selecting "copy", pasting the URL
into a text editor to examine it, no ${USER} present, manually inserting one,
then pasting the new URL into VLC. Once the ${USER} is present, VLC can open
the content without prompting for a username/password.
