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

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