I've asked around and have been told that it worked by converting the url manually into punycode, and it effectively works.
However, doing this could be replaced by adding a feature converting the unicode url into punycode, right into the networking part of ffmpeg (which I think would be useful).
So, would it worth to do that ?

post scriptum:
Maybe can the issue be due to another lib used by ffmpeg for networking.
