Unknown error: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position #243

Describe the bug It seems like this plugin is not able to fetch the title correctly when opening the videos. The titles display correctly in directory listing, but the player refuses to start due to the encoding issue. I suspect this is due to Python3 upgrade in Kodi, we may need to add some .encode('utf8') when feeding the video titles into Kodi player.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to some drive folders
  2. Click on videos that has non ascii titles (e.g. Japanese)
  3. See the error in the dialog
