Bug#427367: vlc should support spaces in filenames

Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.a.debian-6

vlc seems to be unable to play a video file (Xvid codec) when
the filename contains spaces. (wtf? btw.)

Example:

http://www.meebey.net/temp/Tech%20Talk:%20Linus%20Torvalds%20on%20git.avi

vlc will say "nothing to play"

Renaming this file into git.avi helps, then vlc is able to play the video.

Could you please fix vlc's handling of filenames containing spaces?

Regards,

	Joey

Testing? What's that? If it compiles, it is good, if it boots up, it is perfect.
