Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

Kodi 21.0 on Android TV (and Android in general) broke connectivity to FTP sources which require additional flags such as TLS, e.g. "ftp://host.com:21/files/|auth=TLS&verifypeer=false". This functionality still works on Windows. As per support forum multiple people face the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Remote folder is accessible and opens in file browser

Actual Behavior

Kodi takes a few seconds to attempt connection to the remote folder, ultimately shows empty folder. No notification.

2. Add folder using new source
3. Attempt to open folder
