question: public static String convertToURI ( String playerURL ) { int index = playerURL . indexOf ( '|' ) ; StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ( playerURL ) ; while ( index > 0 ) { sb . setCharAt ( index , ':' ) ; index = playerURL . indexOf ( '|' , index + 1 ) ; } return sb . toString ( ) ; }
target:  The player sends us a URI using '|' instead of ':'
