Hi. Forgive me if this is an old issue.
I noticed recently trying to launch VLC to play a file on removable
media from Konqueror, the file path passed to VLC is messed up.
Should be: file:///media/user/sdb1/filename.mp3
Is: file:///home/user/system%3/media/user/sdb1/filename.mp3
The file association has "/bin/vlc --start-from-file %U", I looked at
some other file associations and %U appears to be correct.
TDE applications do not have this problem, kedit or kpdf just
show "system:/media/user/sdb1/filename.xxx" and I checked, those
use %U in file associations.
Any ideas? Where is the list of URL shortcuts so I can try things
other than %U?

Hi Curt,
media:/ (or system:/media) is a TDE based protocol, so all TDE application understand
it.
Non TDE applications (like VLC) won't understand a media:/ URL, hence the error. They
need the full path of the file.
If you use R14.1.0-dev, you can right click a media icon and select the "open system
folder" option to add the media
using the full path. That should work fine.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Michele
