Hello Rémi Denis-Courmont,

Additionally, in my last comment I forgot to mention that although VLC
can't support KIO SLAVES to access SAMBA, NFS shares, can't it alert KDE
4.5.1 (Being more specific, Kubuntu Distribution) about it's inability
of managing KIO SLAVES to make KDE auto download SAMBA,NFS shared files
to the local PC and open it?

PS: Above there's a quotation that Jonathan Riddell wrote about how
should applications support remote file systems (CIFS, KIO SLAVES when
accessing SAMBA, NFS remote files) in the bug report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730984...

"Either the application should support remote file systems (such as by
using kio slaves) or their .desktop file should report that they do not
support remote files in which case KDE will try and download the file
first. " (Jonathan Riddell)
