 Priority:  minor                              |   Milestone:  0.19

 Severity:  medium                             |  -----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
 Mythvideo only support ascii characters from the results of the search
 scripts (actually, imdb.pl and allocine.pl). This is bad because there are
 a lot of languages that need extended characters like accents (àá),
 umlauts (ü), enye (ñ)...

 The solution is to expect data to be '''only''' in utf-8. This conversion
 should be done in the search scripts, although the mythvideo code should
 also change to get data with the correct encoding. One thing to note is
 that all fields are wrong except the movierating. This is the only field
 where non-ascii characters looks good.

 Attached is a screenshot of the problem.
