Bug#663518: vlc: playing files from smb share does not work since 2.0

[Zsolt Rizsanyi]

Package: vlc
Version: 2.0.0-6
Severity: important

Trying to play files from smb shares failes. This is a regression in 2.0
since it worked perfectly in earlier versions.

Checked the logs as suggested by the error message and found the next
error:
main debug: looking for access module: 1 candidate
main warning: cannot load module
`/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libaccess_smb_plugin.so'
(/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libaccess_smb_plugin.so: undefined symbol:
smbc_init)
main error: corrupt module:
/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libaccess_smb_plugin.so
main debug: no access module matching "smb" could be loaded

It seems that libsmbclient is not linked to the plugin.

I could workaround this issue by starting vlc like this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsmbclient.so.0 vlc

This way files from samba shares could be played.

Regards,
Zsolt
