I can confirm setting Popen(encodig="utf-8") fixed alot of the bytes not str issues how ever it might break something further down the line

It took me a day of tinkering, but now both Direct Unpack, regular Unrar and Par2 seem to work. Even managed to test some unicode-downloads.

For future reference:

• We have to use platform_btou with Popen because we cannot use encoding parameter, which was only added in Python 3.6 and we also want to support Python 3.5
• One could also suggest to use the universal_newlines/text of Popen (parameter was renamed) and set it to True, but this doesn't seem to work for unicode downloads. For some reason it breaks on special outputs.
