quite the same problem here

`--> mpsyt

@np1 325edff may be the source of this issue.

I also had another similar crash this morning while playing a playlist:
Problem fetching this item: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2022' in position 96: ordinal not in range(128)

from yewtube.

I can reproduce the original error reported in this issue by changing my download folder set in ~/.config/user-dirs/dirs to `XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/DownloadsÉ"``)

Reverting commit https://github.com/np1/mps-youtube/commit/325edff68 fixes this, although it reintroduces the problem we had with Python 3 in the code for the status line:

`File "./mpsyt", line 1300, in mplayer_status
    if char in '\r\n':
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not bytes

I will try to find a solution.

Hi, for those experiencing this issue, please try the version on this branch: https://github.com/np1/mps-youtube/tree/issue50

You can download just the modified mpsyt here: https://raw.github.com/np1/mps-youtube/issue50/mpsyt

and run it with python mpsyt

Please let me know how it goes. Thanks.

Good, thanks for testing. I will release a bug-fix version on PyPI and Github master branch soon if no other issues arise.
