"Send to" path encoding error

[mm98]

Hi,

I have previously used a specific folder on my NAS (\Multimedia\TV Recordings) for "Send to" setup. These will suddenly result in an error, and I can't select the specific folder anymore (marked red when selecting).
I have checked permissions on the folder, and they are correct.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 22: ordinal not in range(128)

Code: Select all

Extra info
The error could possible come from the content of the folder, since the filenames should be shown in the directory selector.

Update
I can confirm that the reason for this error, is the naming "Düné" (special characters). If i rename it to "Dune", Send To directory selection is working. Might be a solution to use UTF-8 encoding.

Thank you for investigation, we will add this issue into our todo list.

"Send To" feature is actually completely unusable because of this. I'm from Denmark, and we have special characters in almost every program name.
Example: When the first program has been copied/transcoded to the desired folder, the following programs/schedules will result in a error in WebUI > Settings > Send To window.
