           Summary: Dragonplayer does not support kio ressources
           Product: dragonplayer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: christian_weilbach at web.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Dragonplayer's phonon fallback for KIO does not work properly as one cannot
load sftp:// addresses for example. Phononplay from the playground repository
works as expected. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply try loading a ressource which is not natively supported by xine. sftp is
a good example.

Actual Results:  
Dragon keeps loading (mouse pointer shows its busy) but does not give any
result or error. Command output hasn't helped me either.

Expected Results:  
Loading of the movie.

This is needed for a pet project of mine where I have wrapped a KIO-Slave
around KTorrent to make loading of magnet:// resources as seemless as http://
ones. Phonon-xine generally supports that, as I have already tested it in
KHTML's video element. I can watch a magnet-referenced torrent stream of the
Sintel open movie inside the HTML5 video player.
