[mythtv] Mytharchive Burning Error (Recording includes fonts: üõöä)

Sun Mar 23 08:56:53 UTC 2008

Thanks for replay
Heres what i have found!
/usr/share/mythtv/archive/scripts/mythburn.py
i changed lines 5192 and 5196

            #Create the DVD ISO image
            if docreateiso == True or mediatype == FILE:
L5192                CreateDVDISO(title.encode("utf-8"))

            #Burn the DVD ISO image
            if doburn == True and mediatype != FILE:
L5196               BurnDVDISO(title.encode("utf-8"))

It helped on my case.
Ticket(from i got info for burning dvd.s):
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5005
Hope some devs look into it and add it into fixes or 0.21.1.
If this is really dirty hack then some better solution would be handy :)
