[FIX] VLC is unable to open the MRL (smb://)

When I tried to open remote video files with VLC via a Samba share I got this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://...'

Open a terminal window and run: xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -p '/commands/custom/<Alt>F2' -s...
