Mythbuntu

Japanese characters (and possibly others) are output as garbled text by the UPnP server

Bug Description

I turned on my PS3 today and to my surprise, my MythTV box showed up on it. Well, recorded TV and stuff works, but I live in Japan so everything recorded is saved with a Japanese filename. This causes the UPnP server some confusion and it sends garbled text to my PS3. I'm not sure, but I would assume that this would affect other UPnP clients as well since I know the PS3 has support for Japanese characters. I will attach pictures when my camera is done recharging.

Since we are just waiting for upstream to address this, i'm going to mark the status as 'triaged'

No, it's not completely fixed (but what has been fixed is definitely helpful!). When viewing by the show name, things show up fine, but viewing by date, everything is still scrambled (running Hardy). I'm at work right now and going off of memory so I'll post something more detailed when I get home.
