Error if filename contains umlauts

[kTitan]

I have always this problem if I try to run tvnamer on a file which contain german umlauts in it.

%% tvnamer testserieswithä_s01e01.avi
Loading config: /root/.tvnamer.json
####################

    return u"%s.%s" % (self.filename, self.extension)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 14: ordinal not in range(128)

Currently I am using tvnamer version 2.1 with python 2.6

Could you try with the latest git version? Don't seem to have the same error with it:

$ tvnamer testserieswithä_s01e01.avi 
####################
# Starting tvnamer
# Found 1 episode
####################
# Processing file: testserieswithä_s01e01.avi
[...]

and tried it. Same error :(

Strange. Not sure what the code could be doing wrong to cause this..

Could you try doing:

$ touch "testserieswithä_s01e01.avi"
$ python
>>> import os
>>> os.listdir(u".")
[u'testserieswitha\u0308_s01e01.avi']

..and comment the last line here?

Also, what terminal emulator and filesytem are you using?

[kTitan]

Here is the wished output:

>>> os.listdir(u".")
[u'testserieswith\xe4_s01e01.avi']

I am using a ext4 filesystem and most time I access it with putty.
But if I remember it correctly it also happens if i use a gnome terminal.

Ok a new info.

It look like the issue 22 here on github is a dupe of my problem.

I tried what Antoniogra7 did and deleted my .tvnamer.json file.
Then it worked without any problems.

Then i created a new empty file

{
}

and the error is here again.
No matter what config options i put in, the error always comes again.

[dbr]

That is bizarre.

I can reproduce the problem here - as soon as a config is specified (or picked up automatically, that error occurs.

[dbr]

Aha! Problem was disappointingly simple...

I was doing [x.decode(...) for x in args] when first parsing the arguments, but when a config is loaded, the arguments are re-parsed (with the config values as the new defaults), and these args were never decoded, thus the error

Just pushed change for this
