Bug ID: 487926
Summary: VLC fails to open video in smb folder if password is
saved in KWallet
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: kio-extras

Platform: Other

SUMMARY
Not sure if this is the right place to report this bug. Please, feel free to
move it to the right category.
I recently noticed that when trying to open videos from a smb shared folder,
VLC will fail saying that "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open
the MRL 'smb:/..." if the smb user and password are saved in KWallet. I can
only reproduce this issue on a laptop connected over WiFi. In a PC connected
over ethernet (and with a fixed IP) it always works. Not sure if it's relevant,
but just in case someone tries to reproduce the issue.
Also, this is not a regression, it also happens with Plasma 6.0.5, not just in
Plasma 6.1 Beta.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a shared folder with Dolphin writing smb://<IP>/<Folder>
2. Type user and password when asked and click on "Remember password"
3. Try to open video from shared folder with VLC (it works)
4. Reboot computer (or exit session and login back)
5. Open same folder with Dolphin (no user or password is asked as expected)
6. Try to open the same video with VLC (now it fails)
7. Open KWalletManager, search "smb" and delete the entry with the user and
password for that shared folder
8. Repeat the steps above, and now it works again
9. If in step 2, password is not saved, and user and password are manually
introduced every time, VLC always work
OBSERVED RESULT
VLC can't open videos if user and password are saved in KWallet. Other video
players always work (e.g. Dragon Player or mpv).
EXPECTED RESULT
VLC should also work all the times.
