Comment 15 for bug 1449790

media-hub doesn't do a thing to the URI. media::Track::UriType is just a
typedef for std::string. So that's why I'm recommending that you first know
what URI encodings will work for GStreamer via gst-launch-1.0 because then
you can be sure that you are passing the right thing to media-hub. If at
that point it still doesn't work, then perhaps something is affecting it
somewhere on its way down to playbin.
