Handling of special Characters leads to exception about pymediainfo HOT 10 CLOSED

What Python version, what libmediainfo version?

from pymediainfo.

What pymediainfo version, where are the special characters? In the file name? In the metadata?

from pymediainfo.

The special Characters are in the file name.
I am using Python 2.7.13 and pymediainfo in version 2.1.9

from pymediainfo.

What about libmediainfo? Can you run pymediainfo's tests? What OS are you running?

from pymediainfo.

I am running an 64-bit arch Linux.
I'm not that good in Python but if you tell me how to run that test I can sure.

from pymediainfo.

Download pymediainfo here, extract it and run python2 setup.py test (can't hurt to do it with python3 too).
I normally test files with special characters so you should see a test failure.

from pymediainfo.

Huh, it doesn't seem to find the tests, can you see them in tests/test.py?

from pymediainfo.

I now ran the test on Both Python 2 and 3 and got no failure
testoutput.txt

Yes that was my mistake now it works

from pymediainfo.

OK, then I guess the problem may not be with pymediainfo but with your code. Try running python2 demo.py tests/data/accentué.txt. Does it work? If it does, you may be missing something encoding-related in your code.

from pymediainfo.

yes that works. So I will check if I can fix it in my code.
Thanks a lot
