Semicolon file names not listed

Hello:

I’ve got a FTP server that I use to access to my multimedia collection, which is stored on an external hard drive.

If I browse this FTP with a FTP client, it shows all my files as expected. However, if I add that FTP to Kodi, with Videos -> Files -> Add videos, then files with a semicolon (;) on their names won’t show at all. For example, the following will not appear on Kodi (but they do with a regular FTP client):

However, if I rename those files changing the semicolon to anything else (a hash, for example) they show up like the rest. These names do appear on Kodi:

I’ve tried it on a PC with Windows 7, on a PC with Windows 10, on a tablet with Android version 6, and the three of them with Kodi versions 15 and 16; but all of the combinations show the same behavior: if the file name has a semicolon, it will not be shown.

As Kodi seems to be like the swiss knife of multimedia browsers, I hope there’s a config file (or some other way) I can tweak to fix this.

Could you please tell me how can I force Kodi to show files with a semicolon on their names?

Thank you.

Best regards.
