MythTV UTF-8 for 'Custom Record' query

[Cougar <cougar@…>]

mythfrontend [8904] (almost latest). Found that when I have show where title has international characters in UTF-8 like Pealtnägija. then when I enter query title = 'Pealtnägija.' I don't get any result. I think this is not a case for title but any MySQL query in mythtv.

Here is result from mysql command line:

mysql> SELECT starttime,title FROM `program` where title = 'Pealtnägija.' and chanid = 1001;
+---------------------+---------------+
| starttime           | title         |
+---------------------+---------------+
| 2006-02-11 11:00:00 | Pealtnägija. |
| 2006-02-08 20:05:00 | Pealtnägija. |
+---------------------+---------------+

Here is what mythfrontend does (-v database):

sending IMStart with 0 chars to 0x8271d88
sending IMEnd with 1 chars to 0x8271d88, text=ä
receiving IMEnd with 1 chars

Driver error was [2/1052]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to execute query
Database error was:
Column 'title' in where clause is ambiguous

First ä in sending IMEnd with 1 chars to 0x8271d88, text=ä is UTF-8 character (t e x t = 303 244 \n)

Next one is something very strange. title = 'Pealtn�ija.' isn't UTF-8 nor Latin (P e a l t n 357 277 275 i j a).

The query itself as it is reported uses right UTF-8 character again: ...( title = 'Pealtnägija.' )... . But still fails.

In environment I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Anything I can do to use international characters or does MythTV need some more encancement for that?
