VLC Plays Local Files, Does not Play Files on SMB Share

Solution 1:

That's a known VLC issue. It never did. When you mount your network share, its files are also shown in the /run/user/your_user_id/gvfs folder. Locate the file you want to play in that folder and play it from there.

Solution 2:

i set in smb.conf

min protocol = SMB1

max protocol = SMB1

and works fine
