Comment (by boris-petrov):

 I know it works this way but what I'm saying is that the command should
 work with an *encoded* URL.

 For example, if there is a `@` sign in the password, you *have* to encode
 it before passing it to FFmpeg (or any other program) because the `@` sign
 has special meaning in URLs - it marks the end of the "username:password"
 part and the start of the hostname. Right now there is *no* way to make
 FFmpeg work with `@` sign in the username or password because it expects a
 decoded URL. The same goes for `:` in the username. The right way to fix
 this is to make FFmpeg work with encoded URLs in all its protocols.
