I wanted to play music in VLC for Windows off a network SMB share. [*] Music's on \\red\trollop\music\ so I put that into VLC and it didn't like it. So I started "wine explorer" from the command line and went to "Connect network drive ..." and it came up with a dialogue box: "No network" - that's all. Is this actually supposed to work properly, or is something wrong? [*] Trying to do this in KDE4 is an exercise in pain. The only app that appears able to stream from an smb:// URL is Dragon, and that doesn't play folders or have a playlist - all the others copy the file before starting playback. Amarok 2 should do it, but crashes if you look at it funny. Suggestions welcomed. - d.
