Send an actual code snippet you are using when supplying the filename. Adding 
an @
before the text should resolve the issue. The text you provided is not properly
escaping characters such as \.

Here is one example of correcting this:
String sFile = @"C:\test moi ça\vidéo de Dédé qui ne marche pas.avi"

• Changed state: Accepted

The string comes from a OpenFileDialog.Filename
If I open the "vidéo de Dédé qui ne marche pas.avi", I have a "Can't open 
file" entry
in the log, but in the log, the string appears correctly...

Log message is :

"Warning access access_file  C:\\Divertissements\\Dr House - [1x07] - Question 
De
Fidélité. Dvdrip - FR - [found via www.ed2k-series.org].avi: No such file or 
directory"

Test code :
        private void btnOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.dlgOpen.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                this._vlc.VlcPlaylist.Stop();
                this._vlc.VlcPlaylist.Clear();
                int id = this._vlc.VlcPlaylist.Add(this.dlgOpen.FileName);
                this._vlc.VlcPlaylist.Play(id);
            }
        }
