Linux Mint - Can't get Dolphin to work properly with network files (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hey all! The primary issue is in the title - Dolphin doesn't play nice w/ files on my home server. I'm able to view, copy, move, or delete them just fine via SMB, but Dolphin acts as if there is no associated software for any file type. Nemo works without issue, but I prefer Dolphin's customization and feature set.

Any idea what could be wrong? I'm a big Linux newb, so I'm still figuring this all out.

You might want to load actual KDE to see if this is a real bug of Dolphin, or if it doesn't work properly because you're running it via Cinnamon. KDE apps are very integrated to the rest of KDE, and some stuff need to run in order for them to work properly. So you can't always depend on another DE's integral part (as is a file manager), without the rest of the DE.
