Hi. Forgive me if this is an old issue. I noticed recently trying to launch VLC to play a file on removable media from Konqueror, the file path passed to VLC is messed up. Should be: file:///media/user/sdb1/filename.mp3 Is: file:///home/user/system%3/media/user/sdb1/filename.mp3 The file association has "/bin/vlc --start-from-file %U", I looked at some other file associations and %U appears to be correct. TDE applications do not have this problem, kedit or kpdf just show "system:/media/user/sdb1/filename.xxx" and I checked, those use %U in file associations. Any ideas? Where is the list of URL shortcuts so I can try things other than %U? Curt-
Hi Curt, media:/ (or system:/media) is a TDE based protocol, so all TDE application understand it. Non TDE applications (like VLC) won't understand a media:/ URL, hence the error. They need the full path of the file.If you use R14.1.0-dev, you can right click a media icon and select the "open system folder" option to add the media using the full path. That should work fine.
Hope this helps. Cheers Michele
