Paths on linux using smb don't work
0%
Description
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
When adding a game folder, if the path is using the smb protocol (smb://nas/wiigames for example) it won't list any games.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Using KDE Plasma & the KDE's default dolphin filebrowser (different program than this dolphin), select a folder on a smb share:
Config -> paths -> add -> select a folder on a smb share
resulting bath will be smb://nas/wiigames or something similar
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
5.0-12247
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
Arch Linux, KDE Plasma 5.19.4, kernel 5.7.12

Yeah this isn't really a bug, we just don't support the SMB protocol nor have any plans to. You need to mount your SMB share as a normal filesystem using cifs. KDialog is kinda stupid for allowing that to be selected when we specifically requested a directory.

Thanks for the reply!
SMB & others (ftp, sftp, Nfs) could all be supported using KIO - Would you consider implementing it, or accepting a PR that adds support?

I ran into this too. I'd like support for this if possible.

same problem here. let me cast my vote for smb:// nas iso access

I vote "won't fix" on this. KDE can stop being stupid and use the Linux filesystem like it's supposed to.

This issue is now not so much about KDE and more about supporting SMB in the first place imo!

The issues are for different OSes, and were also reported several years apart. Not necessarily a candidate for being marked as a duplicate.

Having the kio-fuse service on your system should solve this problem.

I have kio-fuse installed, this still does not work. is there some extra logging/info I can provide?
Still Arch linux, 6.8.1-arch1-1, KDE Plasma 6.0.2. Dolphin 5.0-20347 and KIO-Fuse 5.1.0-3

kio-fuse should enable translation of smb paths to local mount points when, for example, trying to open a game dump from KDE's "Dolphin File Browser" with "Dolphin Emulator".
You can also add those mount locations to dolphin-emu's "Paths" for your game list.

This does not work for me. I tried enabling logging to see if I could get more information, but no logs appear when I press 'refresh' in the UI. I would love to help figure this one out, if someone could point me in the right direction.
