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

Yes, "Open Media System Folder" does work as expected.
Thank you, that's a good work-around.
