It seems to be failing because of non-ascii characters in mythtvideo graphics files for non-miro related videos.

I have several graphic files with names like, ""Pokémon Season 1_coverart.jpg"". So it seems mirobridge seeing those files is the root cause behind the hang. Everytime I run mirobridge it reaches this error and hangs. does not terminate the process. I have to do a ""kill -9"" command on the offending process.",Bug Report - Hang/Deadlock,closed,minor,0.25,Contributed Scripts & Apps,Master Head,medium,fixed,miro mirobridge,,0
