Public bug reported:

If a filename has an embedded '#', xdg-open fails to open it.

Here's an example. The file:

paulo@monk:~/stage/edit$ ls -l Dino\ vegetariano\ #3\:\ Rúcula\ gum.mp4 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 paulo paulo 1822717 Abr 14 00:13 Dino vegetariano #3: Rúcula gum.mp4

Making sure its MIME type can be recognized:

paulo@monk:~/stage/edit$ xdg-mime query filetype Dino\ vegetariano\ #3\:\ Rúcula\ gum.mp4 
video/mp4

I tried opening both ways:

paulo@monk:~/stage/edit$ xdg-open file:///Dino\ vegetariano\ #3\:\
Rúcula\ gum.mp4

paulo@monk:~/stage/edit$ xdg-open Dino\ vegetariano\ #3\:\ Rúcula\
gum.mp4

and both failed with notification error message:

Failed to open "file:///Dino\ vegetariano\ #3\:\ Rúcula\ gum.mp4".

Error when getting information for file '/
Dino vegetariano ': No such file or directory

I attached a screenshot of the notification message.
