Arch Linux

Hi,

currently when you open a video file from a SMB based network with dolphin, it wants to download the entire file. Not much of an issue with small files but takes a while on movie sized 1080p files. And that while it's not even needed. mplayer knows perfectly fine how to handle smb and it's even enabled by default on the archlinux mplayer package. So i think we should make use of that and modify the mplayer.desktop file accordingly.

These are the changes that i made (used to be %F):
Exec=mplayer %u

And added this (though it could probably be extended with more protocols):
X-KDE-Protocols=http,ftp,smb

After doing that, dolphin plays the file nicely and directly in mplayer without first downloading it.

Cheers,
Mark
