Cannot access SMB folder if folder name contains a semicolon
I cannot access shared SMB folders on a Windows machine if the folder name contains a semicolon (";") such as this:
Artist - Album [2020; FLAC; 1796 kbps; 24 bit; 48 kHz]
I'm having trouble with both the Android & iOS apps. On Android (phone), it prompts me for authentication, then forbids me to proceed even after the correct credentials are entered. On iOS (ipad), it enters the folder briefly (showing no content), then immediately bounces me out without giving any error messages.
On both platforms, I have no trouble entering a folder without semicolons in its name.
On Android, other apps (e.g. CX File Explorer, FX File Explorer, etc) do not have this problem.
On iOS, other apps (e.g. Apple's File app, FE File Explorer, etc) do not have this problem.
VLC versions:
