URL encoding problem with Internet Streams saved in History

• Example URL successfully plays when its address is entered into VLC (or passed into VLC from ADB shell): http://hls.iptv.optimum.net/news12/nipadlive/index_new.m3u8?callsign=N12HV

• After playback, the URL is saved into History

• Clicking on the item in History throws up the error message: "The location ... cannot be played". It seems VLC incorrectly encodes the URL and plays this address: http://hls.iptv.optimum.net/news12/nipadlive/index_new.m3u8%3Fcallsign%3DN12HV

• The special characters "?" and "=" have been incorrectly converted.

NOTE: When the URL is stored in History, trying to pass the URL to VLC from ADB shell also similarly fails.

• To manually resolve the above problem, the user currently has to clear the playback History or clear VLC app's data in Android Settings.
