BUG - \ua789 character error

[Soitora]

Installation

GitHub - master branch

Describe the Bug

For some series, I get around the inability to use colons, with the \ua789 character, which is a fake colon. This works great in Plex, Jellyfin; you name it! But not in the sync here

Expected Behavior

It should deciper it, or ignore it

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Name your Star Wars - The Clone Wars (2008) to Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
2. Now you should see an error

There should not be any issues using a regular colon. What was the problem?

[Soitora]

There are fake colons in my filename, a place where you can't use colons Shouldn't be an issue using it directly in the preferences

I'm just autogenerating my files

EDIT: The generated YAML actually uses the correct colon, so it must be complaining about the path?

[CollinHeist]

Okay good to know.. yeah TCM auto replaces "illegal" characters in filenames. Looks like the error you are getting is related to the built in Python logging package not being able to print that character.

Did it actually cause any errors? Like no card or anything. Might just log an error but not affect anything else.

I'll be closing this for now, feel free to re-open if you continue to have issues.
