> Hi to all

> This is possibly a bug in Mythbuntu (10.4). When files or folder names
> contain German umlauts (äöü) Mythtv can't see them. A folder named:
> 
> Raumschiff Enterprise: Das nächste Jahrhundert
> 
> is invisible, due to the 'ä'. If I rename the folder to the English
> original:
> 
> Star Trek: The Next Generation
> 
> it works, but only few of the files under this folder have coverart,
> banner etc. For the others, Mythtv reports that a coverart is present
> but cannot be linked to the file. This is possibly because the image
> files also contain the 'ä'. It's, however, not clear why it's
> nevertheless possible for some of the files.

> There seems to be something wrong with the locale of the system or with
> mythtv's language settings, but I cannot find out where the problem
> actually is.

> Can anybody help me through this?
