      1. Create a page and book activity

      3. Export the book to IMSCP and check that once downloaded the package you can see the video player (you need to download the zip and uncompress it)
      4. Using the Mobile app open the page and the book and check that you can see the video player (please, note that there is a bug in the app pending to be solved so maybe you can't play the video in the app), but the important thing is that you see the video player

      Description

      In the Mobile app we use the script webservice/pluginfile.php to download the pages of mod_book, mod_page and mini-site mod_resource. Example of a request:

      http://mysite.com/webservice/pluginfile.php/78/mod_book/chapter/26/index.html?token=mytoken

      Today I noticed that the videos and audios added to the book/page that have spaces or underscores in the name aren't treated by the multimedia plugin, we receive them as plain links (<a>). If the file names are just alphanumeric then I receive the HTML5 player as it should. I only tried with spaces and underscores, I guess it'll happen with other characters too.

      After some more testing I noticed that this also happens when exporting a Book that contains media element with spaces to an IMS CP package, if the media file has spaces in his name filters are not applied, I'm attaching screenshots right now
