'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf1' in position 141 #13

Closed matthewclaussen closed 14 years ago

matthewclaussen commented 14 years ago

Since I haven't had any luck with Vista I tried out the latest 4.23.3 beta on my Ubuntu system. Some good news I have gathered from this is I don't seem to be having the mysql connection error, I guess that is just a problem with Windows systems...

I seem to be having a problem with a character not encoding properly. I tried changing this recording.title.encode('utf-8') to str(recording.title) but no luck.

Here are both logs. str(recording.title) http://pastebin.com/ukmAMva1 recording.title.encode('utf-8') http://pastebin.com/CXTPwQp0

My guess just by looking at the logs would be that it is the description field throwing the error, can you switch out the str(recording.description) for recording.description.encode('utf-8') and let me know what happens.

Thanks, -Erik

I switched the two and here is the new log. http://pastebin.com/prMJv63Z

It worked! Did I miss another str(recording.description)? Not that it matters cause it works!
