I think this is one of the most annoying bugs in KDE.
When a non-technical user uses KDE and wants to access data on a network share
- which is REALLY common nowadays, he has to know the internal design of KDE
and KIO slaves.

Because most of the time, things just DON'T work.
I'm running KDE 4.14.3 and on samba shares I
- cannot open libreoffice documents
- cannot open videos (kaffeine, dragonplayer, vlc works because it uses it's
own samba handling)
- i'm pretty sure most other non-kde applications won't work with files on
samba shares, too.

What works is gwenview, okular, i guess most other KDE apps.

I think limiting the use of network shares on a KDE desktop environment to
(most) KDE applications is a bad design decision.

As for this specific bug: VLC plays my files from samba shares IF i specify the
username and password to use in the VLC preferences.

I vote for closing this bug and switching from KIO to GVFS.
