I’m not sure if this is the correct forum for my question so let me know if there is a better place.
I just installed Ubuntu Mate 15.04 to try it out. I have been using Linux Mint. Before that I used Ubuntu but left because I didn’t like Unity. But U-M seems to be like the old Ubuntu which I really liked so I thought I would try it out.
So far I like it but I have one problem. VLC will not play videos from a network drive. Which is a problem because I keep all my media files on a NAS. I mount the drive using Caja but VLC says It cannot play a file with a SMB: address. Mint mounts the drive under /run/user/1000/gvfs/ and seems to use that for the path. My question is does Caja have a similar mount point?
I have not tried many programs but a few seem to have the same problem handling SMB: addresses. So any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
