 If you have as example german umlauts (ä,ö,ü,ß) in shows, and use
 mythrename, the filenames get updated, but in the database it seems
 mythrename uses the wrong charset (looks to me, when using iso and
 displaying utf or other way round)

 So for "ä" there will be "ä" in the database as basename in table
 recorded.
 Updating the table for every wrong char with some sql like folowing works
 around that for me:

 UPDATE  `recorded` SET basename=replace(basename,'ä','ä')  WHERE
 `basename` LIKE '%ä%'
 UPDATE  `recorded` SET basename=replace(basename,'ü','ü')  WHERE
 `basename` LIKE '%ü%'
 UPDATE  `recorded` SET basename=replace(basename,'ß','ß')  WHERE
 `basename` LIKE '%ß%'
 UPDATE  `recorded` SET basename=replace(basename,'ö','ö')  WHERE
 `basename` LIKE '%ö%'

 Solution: Charset handling should be corrected in mythrename.pl Dont know
 anything of perl, otherwise i would sure make a patch.
