Comment 11 for bug 452790

Fixed temporarily by setting locale explicitly in /etc/cron.hourly/mythvideo:

Original:

#!/bin/sh
#Hourly massive update to ensure users see graphics coming in for upcoming recordings and current recordings
DIRECTORY=$(grep ^mythtv /etc/passwd | awk -F : '{print $6}')
if [ -f "$DIRECTORY/.mythtv/config.xml" ]; then
    su mythtv -c ""/usr/bin/python /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MW >> '/var/log/mythtv/jamu.log'"
fi

Amended script:

#!/bin/sh
#Hourly massive update to ensure users see graphics coming in for upcoming recordings and current recordings
DIRECTORY=$(grep ^mythtv /etc/passwd | awk -F : '{print $6}')
if [ -f "$DIRECTORY/.mythtv/config.xml" ]; then
    su mythtv -c ""export LANG=en_US.UTF-8; /usr/bin/python /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MW >> '/var/log/mythtv/jamu.log'"
fi
