I have an mkv file on a Synology DS220j mounted via NFS. If I right click the file and open with VLC it throws an error:

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///nas

I have to copy it locally to the internal disk /dev/sdc1 and then open it there for it to play. Why does this happen? Any ideas?

Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T

then run these commands

sudo snap remove --purge vlc
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y vlc

They remove VLC that is already installed by snap and install VLC as the apt package that has no problem with accessing files over the NFS
