Description
Currently on beta 5. At one point mp4 playback over smb did work (no idea which version); it was several months ago it last worked.
Choosing an mp4 video from my smb server using vlc results in vlc hanging with no video playback. AVI files appear to play fine. The video player doesn't matter as I have tried mplayer and had the same results.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening an MP4 over an SMB server in AmazeFileManager, then compare it with an AVI file and the reported VLC or mplayer behavior. Trace the file playback path used for SMB content; done means MP4 files play without hanging.
