Description Daniel 2023-08-14 05:30:42 UTC
On a fresh Fedora 38 Cinnamon install, when using the Nemo file explorer's `Connect to Server` to mount an sftp server, I am unable to watch any videos on the server. A fresh Fedora 38 MATE install works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Nemo
2. Go to File --> Connect to Server 
3. Choose type ssh
4. Click on a video file inside the server
5. Wait for MPV to play the video
Actual Results:  
No video plays.

Expected Results:  
Video streams from the server playing in MPV.

The gvfs-fuse package is not installed by default on F38 Cinnamon but is for F38 Mate. When gvfs-fuse is manually installed on an F38 Cinnamon instance and then rebooted, videos are able to play. When running ps aux | grep gvfs, the following process now runs after rebooting that was missing before

Please include `gvfs-fuse` with the default Cinnamon install. This will solve the problem.
