url within url

Hello Devs,

The video below does not play in Kodi 17.3, but plays fine in VLC!

It looks like Kodi does not like an http: (httpSemi-column) inside a url and ends up removing the semi-column and fails to play the video, while VLC manages this just fine. Even if I use VLC instead of the default player, it look the Kodi removes the semi-column THEN passes it to the player, in which case even VLC fails to play the vid!

Code:
http://media.netd.com.trhttp://o.dogannet.tv/ott/S9/MP4/KANALD/HDP1A_-133639_6053-_1500.mp4

I’d appreciate if someone could take a look at it and advise of a workaround or a patch, if there is one.

Thanks!
