Almost the same problem occurs when I try to play a movie from my NAS, connecting by FTP: both Totem and VLC refuses to play the movie.
I tryed to play both "ftp://nas/folder/movie.avi" and "~/.gvfs/nas/folder/movie.avi" URL: in the first case I got the "Unable to open" error. In the second case I see network being in use and bytes passing from NAS to PC, then after some time (like 2 minutes) VLC shows the first fwe seconds (like 4) of the movie, then it hangs there showing that same frame (like in "pause"). VLC process is not frozen. After some other time, network activity goes down (maybe because of FTP timeout?).
