Bug Description
When using Nautilus to create shares to a NAS box, using smbfs/cifs, vlc will not play the files saying that it does not have smb:// support. I believe that vlc actually supports it, but it seems that it is not on by default in Hardy Beta.

Sorry original description is wrong: I am creating the connection and bookmarks via Places -> Connect to server -> Windows share
When trying to play audio and video files, the vlc error message is this:
Unable to open 'smb://<ip address of NAS box>/<share>/<file name>'
