Description:
I'm kde user and I like mplayer. It'll be great to play media files from samba shares by clicking on it in dolphin. But by default media file will be downloaded after clicking on it. To play file from smb share instead downloading I need edit "/usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop": add line "X-KDE-Protocols=smb" and change "Exec=mplayer %F" to "Exec=mplayer %U". After this I can play media from dolphin. May be it is good idea to pack mplayer package with this options by default? Also mplayer can play files not only from smb. So it'll be great to add other protocols too. Additional info: * package version(s) extra/mplayer 34174-1 * config and/or log files etc. diff /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop ~/mplayer.desktop 17c17 < Exec=mplayer %F --- > Exec=mplayer %U 21a22 > X-KDE-Protocols=smb Steps to reproduce: open dolphin, enter samba share, right click on media file, open with... mplayer. |
This task depends upon
By the way VLC media player already have this options. Is mplayer worse for some reason?
VLC team configures vlc.desktop in its git repo :
http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=share/vlc.desktop.in
Now it doesnt even copy the files.
