Filenames that contain spaces in m3u playlists on OTG devices fail to play

For m3u files on an OTG device that contain references to mp3 files with spaces in their filenames playback fails.

The error messages that pop up disappear too fast to really read but they are something along the lines of:

File fd://114/The%20Eagles%20-%20Hotel%20California.mp3 not found.

for a m3u file like this:

#EXTINF:789,The Eagles - Hotel California.mp3
The Eagles - Hotel California.mp3

For giggles I tried escaping the spaces manually like in #1652 (closed) but this does not help either:

#EXTINF:789,The Eagles - Hotel California.mp3
The%20Eagles%20-%20Hotel%20California.mp3

Steps to reproduce

1. Load mp3 and mu3 files with spaces in filenames on a usb drive
2. Plug USB drive into android device as OTG device
3. Attempt to play m3u on connected OTG in VLC
