Videos with a filename containing an apostrophe (single quote or one of these ' ) won't play in Chrome
Expected behaviour
The video file should play
Actual behaviour
Chrome pops up the video player window with the message "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed of because the format is not supported."
Steps to reproduce
- Have a video file with an apostrophe in the filename
- Try to play it using Chrome
- Get the error message "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed of because the format is not supported."
This is not an issue with Firefox so I appreciate that this might be a Chrome bug too so happy to take advice to log it there if there's not a fix that can be applied to the video player to resolve it before it gets to Chrome..

I have Problems with "&" in filenames ... could be the same issue?
This is also the case for other letters like #
, even if the file path includes these letters. As described in #193
