Gnome vfs cannot open multiple ogg's over samba share

**flashingcurser** · February 24th, 2005, 04:46 PM

Anyone know of a music player that is gnome vfs aware so I can browse in the player to a samba/gnome vfs share and play the music? (in totem, xmms and zinf, you can not see the gnome vfs shares browsing with the builtin file browser in the players)

I'm using dropline gnome (2.8 i think) slack10.

If I use the metacity browser to go to the share and highlight several, then right click "play", it will open each in an individual player-- not good.

I really do not want to mount shares in fstab (with a user name and password) on startup. I think Linneighborhood is a cheezy work-around.

I have a G4 osx box that does the same damned thing (If someone knows a solution in OSX that would be cool too)

One other thing (kind of related) is there a linux/smb network client? (like cleint for ms windows) so that users dont have to use the keyring thingy in gnome. They just go strait to their shares, if the share has the same username and password, then they're in. (other wise promped for a password)

amarok doesn't do gnome-vfs but since it uses the kde file open dialog you can browse network shares with it.
