Some Feisty apps can connect to Windows servers, others not...
Asked by
Sideburn
I'm running Ubuntu on a laptop with a small HDD, and have all my multimedia stuff on a Windows XP file-server.
Ubuntu is able to connect to shared Windows-folders, but not all applications seems to have access to those...
For example, in Rhythmbox it's possible to import files or folder from the shares, but Firefox can only see the local mounts and folders.
This is extra irritating when it comes to movies, since I would rather use good ol' VLC instead of Totem.
Is there some good reason for this behaviour, or is it some kind of bug/neglectance? And, most important, is there some kind of workaround or tweak to solve this?
