When I copy the file (also over SMB) locally to my laptop, I can then play the video in VLC with NO issues. Is a problem with the smb password / authentication (also i don’t think so) - I have set my SMB password inside VLC preferences with no improvements.Īll my other devices (Apple Laptops, Windows Laptops, Phones, etc.) can access the Mac Mini server and play videos without ANY issues. VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘smb://pc_name/directory/Scrubs%20-%20S03E02.avi’ When I try to open a video on a network-share via smb / VLC, I get the following error message:
I have Manjaro Gnome installed on my laptop and I am trying to access my Mac Mini server (Running MacOS Big Sur) over SMB Protocol to watch videos / movies (streaming) on VLC. I am having problems watching videos over a network-connection.
