Embedded spaces in network path names - unmesh - 2020-08-01

I used to know the syntax to use in sources.xml to define a network path with spaces but neither escaping the space with a backslash nor putting the entire path field within quotes work. I know I could replace the space with something like an underscore but it is bugging me that I've forgotten how to do this.

<path pathversion="1">smb://192.168.1.2:445/Share1/Videos/Kids\ Movies/</path>
<path pathversion="1">"smb://192.168.1.2:445/Share1/Videos/Kids Movies/"</path>


Thanks
