I had the same problem, and mtdean helped me solve it.

> 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?

> Thanks,
