[SOLVED] unable to view videos over samba with totem

I am trying to view some movies over samba comming from vista. i am able to access the files fine, can download and watch them but when i try to open them from samba (without downloading) with totem i get this error

Totem could not play 'smb://vista/movies/2001%20-%20A%20Space%20Odyssey%20(1968).avi'.
There is no input plugin to handle the location of this movie

i have gstreamer good bad and ugly installed (ffmpeg totem-plugins and tried totem-xine)
i use to have it working fine in ubuntu before i switched, i just cant figure out what im missing.

Try to mount share and then you should be able to play video with any player you have.

There's wiki page how to mount samba shares: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acc … dows_share
