 Hi,

 As said on Mythbuntu
 forum[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=729072], i upgraded to
 mythtv 0.21 on march 11 (Mythbuntu 7.10 proposed update). Since then, i
 couldn"t burn DVD with mytharchive if an european accent appears in the
 title (or description?).with en error like
 ---
 File "/usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/scripts/mythburn.py ", line 5400 in
 paiun processJob(job), [...] line 5196 in processJob BurnDVDISO(title)
 [...] line 2587 in BurnDVDISO write(command) [...] line 242 in write
 sys.stdout.write(text+"\n")
 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe0' in
 position 61: ordinal not in range(12
 ---
 It's not a cut-and-paste, but i can't find the good logfile...

 I'm discovering python, so i went to the sources,
 (/usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/scripts/mythburn.py ) and change line 5196
 with :
 BurnDVDISO(title.encode("utf-8"))
 (i added the <<.encode("utf-8")>> part)

 I don't know it it's an awful hack or a good way to solve the problem, i
 have no "full view" of the source.
 It's worked for me, and until now...

 I didn't found a forum, so i opened a ticket. If it's "bad", i guess i'll
 be rejected :-)
 It seems it was discussed there [http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2818]
