[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mywebsite.com/abc%20def.avi"]];

looks like the url parser in VLC has bug there...

did any one ever fixed this issue? i am still suffering from it, and escaping the URL did not work.
if the URL has special characters (other then spaces) - it still behaves badly.

i am using TVVLCKit from swift in the following manner:

Code: Select all

            let currentURL: NSURL = NSURL(string: "\(currentPath.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(NSCharacterSet.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet())!)")!
            self.currentMedia = VLCMedia(URL: currentURL)

if the URL is:
smb://PC1/Shay's Folder
or:
smb://PC1/Shay'sFolder

it will cause it to crash,

but if the URL is simple like this:
smb://PC1/ShaysFolder

it will work!
