Playing video files of a NAS
Posted: 22 May 2011 13:16
I've only just installed VLC for the first time following a suggestion from some one. Impressed.
I installed off packman for suse 11.4 running kde. Sound didn't work but have sorted that out. I searched the forum for info on playing video files off a nas and thought I had found a solution. Seems not.
I've set up with an smb:// address my own user name and password on the nas and can now navigate to it and view files. If I navigate to the files via VLC and click on one I get
"You can only select local files"
If I launch from the nas I get
"Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://192....................................avi'. Check the log for details."
Which brings up another problem. As I couldn't search a vlc log file I set logging to /home/john/Desktop/VLC.log. Also tried navigating to it to set it up but still no log file.
