#3534: MythFlix fails to load Queue with UTF-8 characters in movie _title_

 Priority:  minor      |   Milestone:  unknown
Component:  mythflix   |     Version:  unknown
 Severity:  medium     |

 I have noticed what seems to be a small problem with MythFlix, namely that
 the Queue file is not read if there are odd characters in the movie title.
 One such title is Mambo Café  (that is Mambo Cafe where the e has an
 accent mark).  On my MBE system which is gentoo with a mythtv build of
 0.21_p13344 I get the error "Failed to Retrieve News" in MythFlix, and
 "MythNews: failed to set content from xmlfile" in the debug logs.

 By hand editing the Queue file to remove this character from the title
 field, (and setting the permissions on the Queue file so that it does not
 get overwritten on the next run, I can make this problem go away by
 replacing the offending character with a standard "e".  I have attached 2
 small Queue files that can be used as test cases.

 In studying the existing trac tickets, I found this one which might be
 similar.

 This changeset applies to the _description_ field of the movie, not the
 title field, but it seems to be  a similar problelm.

 I see from a similar topic
