Youtube-dl doesn't seem to work with cyrillic titles

[snify]

I've tried youtube-dl (latest version from 2014.04.02) on Windows with the following link: http://www.vbox7.com/play:8027f941b
which has title in cyrillic "Най-добрите бойци на Шао Лин - slow mo", but youtube-dl prints only the non-cyrillic characters: "- - slow mo"
Is that a bug? Does youtube-dl have unicode titles support?

youtube-dl --verbose --get-title http://www.vbox7.com/play:8027f941bc

Thank you for the report. youtube-dl supports Unicode titles just fine, and I get the correct Най-добрите бойци на Шао Лин - slow mo. Most likely, this is a bug related to the Windows console output - you can see right in the output that your Windows is configured to suboptimal (i.e. non-UTF) encodings. We'll investigate this.

Neither cp437 nor cp1252 support the character й. Therefore, despite your system being configured to use these code pages, they do not support the character you want to output.

Starting with youtube-dl 2014.04.07.2, you can now pass in the --encoding option to force the encoding you would like.

This should be fixed in youtube-dl 2014.04.07.3 and newer - we are now using an obscure C function to output on Windows.
