Comment 5 for bug 737192

Hello Rémi Denis-Courmont,

I tested CIFS mounting and VLC playback (of a H264 video) through it and I was not able to SEEK the video (this also happened in a MP3 file) and VLC did not showed the right duration of the video nor the actual position... How can I solve this?

Why don't VLC detect KIO SLAVES smb:// network access and auto mount the remote path with CIFS? With this VLC would be more independent when related with CIFS because it wouldn't need any 3rd party application that can mount CIFS via command or GUI (in example: When I access a remote path, it mounts it automatically like NAUTILUS does)...

Is there any CIFS application that can mount my whole WORKGROUP like FUSESMB when my system boot?

I tested FUSESMB and SMBNETFS, but in both of them I detected some slow down in my network connection when compared with KIO SLAVES smb:// access protocol or GNOME Nautilus Samba access... Is this a configuration issue or is related to the funciton of the programs? Also, I could not access remote PC's that needed authentication (username and password) with them...

PS: I know FUSESMB does the job, but I had some issues with it and I don't want to use it anymore...

Thanks for your help,

André M.
