 Jamu.py crashes with the following error:

 {{{
 troy at ebony:/usr/local/bin$ jamu -MVI
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/bin/jamu", line 6420, in <module>
     main()
   File "/usr/local/bin/jamu", line 6388, in main
     configuration.setUseroptions(default_config)
   File "/usr/local/bin/jamu", line 1287, in setUseroptions
     self.config['ignore-directory'].append(unicode(cfg.get(section,
 option), 'utf8'))
 TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported
 }}}

 jamu.conf contains the following entries for ignore-directory:

 {{{
 [ignore-directory]
 ignore01: /var/lib/mythtv/videos/Movies/.AppleDouble/
 ignore02: /var/lib/mythtv/videos/Movies/Childrens/.AppleDouble/
 ignore03: /var/lib/mythtv/videos/Series/.AppleDouble/
 ignore04: /var/lib/mythtv/videos/Documentaries/.AppleDouble/
 ignore05: .AppleDouble/
 ignore08: Movies/.AppleDouble/
 }}}


 Removing the ignore-directory options stops the crash.

 Alternatively altering line 1287 in jamu.py fixes the crash:

 from:
 {{{
                     self.config['ignore-
 directory'].append(unicode(cfg.get(section, option), 'utf8'))

 }}}
 to:
 {{{
                     self.config['ignore-
 directory'].append(cfg.get(section, option))

 }}}
