Funny, I have the same problem with Totem. Basically it won't play anything from gnome-vfs. Here's exactly how the error message appears:
========================= Totem could not play 'smb://HOME_NET;[EMAIL PROTECTED]/private/engage.mpeg'. Could not read from resource. ========================= -- Archive Manager cannot read archive from remote gnome-vfs shares (Samba, FTP, etc.) https://launchpad.net/bugs/36498 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
