Comment 3 for bug 707233

Yes, this is still an issue in the version I have with Ubuntu 11.04 (1.1.9-1ubuntu1.3). The example URL from my initial report should demonstrate the issue. I think it is highly unlikely the upstream will fix it since it was his deliberate decision to break it in the first place (see forum thread link from my initial report).

Interestingly, if I replace the spaces with %20's, VLC will not play the resulting stream URL, but Clementine and Rhythmbox both do, and both convert the %20's back to spaces when displaying the stream URL.
