An other information :
in my database, i have "Français" in videocountry, but when i show it 
with mysql command, i see "Franais" and in videofilter dialog i can see 
"Français".
I i take a look of metadata.cpp, when inserting country in databse i 
don't use QString::fromUtf8(), but  for example title  us it.
To resume, i suppose that those have problem with special characters in 
metadata don't have with videofilter , andthose don't have trouble with 
metadata, have in videofilter ...
How to do in order that all users are happy ?
