Single video not playing, says file not found. File works fine in other players - sufreak - 2023-06-13

One of my kids shows keeps saying the file is missing and suggests deleting it from the library. I've tested 2 different instances of LibreElec, with the same result.
File is hosted on a NAS and I've been able to access it from other computers, devices, including Plex, with no issues. I've recreated the file in case of corruption, still no luck. I know I'm using an older version, but literally all other files work fine. (Thousands of other files)

Code:
2023-06-13 05:29:06.215 T:1378853760 ERROR: CVideoPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [smb://10.10.10.100/tvshows/Kids/Big City Greens/Season 03/Big City Greens - S03E12E13 - Dependabill and The Delivernator.mkv]And looking further in the log file, line 1680, the next file plays with no issue.

Small update - when I changed the filename to "Big City Greens - S03E12E13.mkv", it worked without an issue.
I have plenty of files with much longer file names. So I'm stumped to what caused this one to have an issue

For Kodi you have to have good file names...
So a movie is like this:
against the ice (2022).mkv
and a tv show has to be like this:
better call saul S05E03 (2015).mkv

Year indicators are not a necessity, but can help in conflict situations.
99.9% of my episode files do not have a year in their filenames.
"Better Call Saul - S01E01.mkv" works fine for me.

I've never hard a problem with any other file. I just updated to 20, so I'm gonna see what happens
