I am sure, you already read the problem described in ticket #2924. For example Firefox and Windows Media Player can handle such URLs containing spaces.

I just want to fix the problem reported in this ticket - no more, no less. 

I am aware, a fully encoded URL is probably better. But in one hand it takes more time, in the other hand more coding could produce more errors.
 
I would suggest to fix this bug described in the ticket, in the first step. In the next step I would create a new ticket in order to encode the entire URL.

I personally prefer one commit/patch - one ticket (i.e. patch only fixes the problem reported in the ticket). But since I am new here, what do you think?
