[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Parse square brackets in pathnames - ticket #20384

[Cristiano Milia]

When opening a M3U playlist containing relative pathnames, the songs 
whose pathname contains a square bracket are simply ignored.
This patch makes vlc_uri_component_validate consider [] as valid
parts of pathnames.
