Tested step 1 not with Dolphin, but with PCManFM and Thunar. PCMan prompted whether to remember the credentials and for how long during step 2. Then gwenview worked as expected (well, the navigation arrow keys worked to move from jpg to mp4, but nav arrows seemed to stop working from then). But video files could play in Gwenview from network shared location, if opened from PCManFM not Dolphin. Thunar was a similar experience, but it did not prompt to login to the smb, so where ever PCManFM was storing the credentials, Thunar seems to have had access to. Dolphin does not appear to have access, as it's behavior did not change, even after logging in to the share via PCManFM. I believe this isn't a Gwenview issue anymore, but Dolphin (or wherever Dolphin stores credentials, or whatever process is responsible for accessing and sharing the credentials, assuming it is a different process than what PCManFM and Thunar use). I have used the "Browse" function in Gwenview to replicate the error. So something about how Dolphin and Gwenview accesses and saves the credentials is broken, where Thunar and PCmanFM can successfully pass the credentials to Gwenview (and presumably ffmpeg). The popup window for entering the credentials is different, so it makes sense there is some different underlying process for accessing the smb location. But I don't know enough to tell why one works and the other doesn't. Thanks for the bug report, and the detailed troubleshooting. I wasn't able to reproduce this on git-master I tested with a samba share that requires authentication, checking "Remember password" In Dolphin, I selected a png file and opened with Gwenview, it was opened. I also tested by connecting using an entry in /etc/fstab and playing an mp4 video I am able to reproduce the bug with Plasma 6.4.5, so it looks like this has been fixed, and should be in Plasma 6.5.0 (or the 6.19.0 kio framework) |
