Playing video files from other hosts is impossible using Kaffeine's SMB integration when the filename contains spaces. It appears the space is escaped as %20, and then the %20 is further escaped as %2520, resulting in a "file not found" error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place video file with space in name on Samba share 2. Access Samba share in Konqueror using smb://host/share scheme 3. Right click on video file and choose to open with Kaffeine Actual Results: Kaffeine produces an error box (titled "xine Error - Kaffeine Player") containing the following text: No plugin found to handle this resource (smb://gaspode/anime/Full%20Metal%20Alchemist%2031.avi) Details 01:55:34: xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [smb://gaspode/anime/Full%2520Metal%2520Alchemist%252031.avi] 01:55:34: xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [smb://gaspode/anime/Full%2520Metal%2520Alchemist%252031.avi] 01:55:34: xine: found input plugin : CIFS/SMB input plugin based on libsmbclient Expected Results: Video should play seamlessly in Kaffeine, as if it was part of the local filesystem. smbfs and cifs support are enabled in the kernel, and filesystems can be mounted as either without problems. If, on the Samba server, a hard link without spaces in its name is created pointing to a file that does have spaces, the no-spaces link will work perfectly when accessed by Kaffeine, but the with-spaces link will fail in the manner described.

(In reply to comment #1) > Sorry, forgot a couple of things. I'm running kdelibs 3.5.9-r4 and Kaffeine > 0.8.6. Well, current stable is kdelibs-4.3.1 and kaffeine-1.0_pre2. KDE 3.5.9 has been removed, and KDE 3.5.10 will be removed (masked). Same for <kaffeine-1.0_pre2, so closing this as WONTFIX.
