[mythtv] Mythvideo and UTF8 filenames

[Denys Dmytriyenko]

Hmm,

I just finished changing MythMusic in this regard a few days ago and now 
testing it. It stores all music metadata in local encoding (set my 
system's locale) instead of default Latin1. If anybody is interested, 
I'll send a patch later.
