The original patch (by Ludovic) that got applied does not fix the core of the problem, which is cause by calling .decode() on that string. On my French system:
>>> print sys.getfilesystemencoding() UTF-8 So replacing decode('utf8') by decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding()) doesn't do anything useful. I've attached a new patch to bug #913453 that removes the whole decode() part, and now subtitles can be properly downloaded to folders containing accents. When the patch is applied, both issues can be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306589 Title: Error when clicking 'Download' (ascii codec can't encode) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subdownloader/+bug/306589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
