Dear Forum.

Usin VLC 3.1.0-RC1 in Android Pie 9.0 FEB19.

I have Synology NAS SMB2/3 shares and I can browse the video files with VLC Local network.
I can open a video file that has no spaces in the file name: e.g. "folder/video.mp4".
Apparently VLC uses 127.0.0.1 localIP way to open the SMB file.

But if filename has space in it, file does not open. e.g. "smb://folder/second video".mp4.

Small popUp message is shown that file can not be opened and %20 is added in the space.

Can you share the logs, by any chance?
