Windows VideoPlayer cannot play URL that starts with "file://" prefix

Video

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any new project
2. Set video player to run from URL
3. Set URL to an m4v video
4 It doesn't work
5. Switch to Video clip mode
6. Select same video
5. It works

Expected: It should work the same on either way, either don't play the videos or play them from VideoClip and URL as well
Actual: Video Clip mode supports m4v while the URL does not accept the video unless you rename the URL to filename.mp4 instead of filename.m4v

Reproduced on: 2018.1.0a6, 2017.3.0b11, 2017.2.0p4, 2017.1.2p3

    I have the same problem on Unity 2017.4.9 on Windows 10 64 bit.

    WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80070005 while reading https://r8---sn-n4g-atos.googlevideo.com:443/videoplayback...

    Context: MFCreateSourceReaderFromURL
    Error details: Access is denied.

    Track types:

    I think the problem is with local file-system access.

    same here with mp4 file.
    the file was encoded with ffmpeg
    y -f rawvideo -vcodec rawvideo -pixel_format rgba -colorspace bt709 -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 23 -pix_fmt yuv420p
    the file plays back when in Video Clip mode
