The nfs kio slave, unlike the smb kio slave, does not allow streaming of video or audio files. What I mean is, if I click an audio or video file, the file is copied locally completely before VLC/MPlayer/mpv/etc starts playing it. I imagine this is a normal bug as opposed to a wishlist, but I don't know. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Navigate to an nfs share through the nfs kio slave 2. Click on a video or audio file Actual Results: File is copied locally before playback Expected Results: Audio or video file should begin playback imediately, streaming the rest in the background
Do those applications have native support for nfs URLs? They do not use KIO, so the file has to be copied, unless they support the scheme in question.
If you can provide the information requested in comment #1, please add it.
Yeah, I think you are right. I haven't found a way to get XBMC to play a file from the context menu, and I have seen mpv fail for the smb kio slave. I apparently had a misunderstanding about what the whole kio thing was. I had assumed it was like gvfs, as in VLC would have no idea it was streaming from elsewhere, whereas it is apparently just a view in dolphin. Sorry for wasting your time. I have tried to mark it as Resolved Invalid. I guess switch it back if I shouldn't have.
