I don't know if this will top post but hopefully not.

I looked at the MPV github page and the syntax for MPV over built-in samba is 'mpv smb://user:password@host:/full/path/to/file.ext' and without tab completion and without support for .netrc or .smb.conf I would never do that. Once the directory is mounted locally it doesn't need samba to play networked content.

Now that I've looked at it more it seems samba support isn't really a useful feature for mpv.
