When I drag n drop file(s) or directories both with and without spaces, foreign letters or from local file or smb mounted to vlc or mplayer they don't play. Drag to totem plays, vlc gives me an error message that says

Unable to open '/home/shr/Desktop/temp/Old Man's Child -  2005 - Vermin/03 - War Of Fidelity.mp3
'

mplayer doesn't say anything, it just sits there looking at me as I am a stupid %&/()%

Well, that's a bug in vlc/mplayer then. Thunar uses the text/uri-list standard format (RFC2483) to send URI lists during DnD, which is:

URI1\r\n
URI2\r\n
...

See section 5 of RFC2483: http://rfc2483.x42.com/
