Producing an epub3 with videos leads to a kobo nag about manifesting external video files, as per the epub3 spec.

There are six entries in the opf, such as this:

Code:

<item id="vid2" href="https://www.website.ext/videofile2.mp4" media-type="video/quicktime"/>

(The marketplace using) Kobo responds with the following message.

Code:

Missing file OEBPS/https://www.website.ext/videofile2.mp4.: java.lang.RuntimeException

It seems to "think" that the location the https protocol refers to can be found within the epub package. Appears to be a bug in the Kobo testing suite.

I've perused the MR forums, the MR wiki, the github/kobolabs/epub-spec and various other kobo materials, to no avail.

Anyone have any idea why this occurs, or how to circumvent it, short of bloating the epub to the tune of 78mb?
