french locale breaks the xbian plugin

[fschaer]

Hi again.

So, if in the CLI xbian settings you change the system locale to "french (france)" and then go in the system settings => xbian , then most of the options cannot be "clicked"

The only things that can be "clicked" are Services and Preferences.

The kodi logs show these python exceptions :

What I see in there is that it fails to understant the french accentuated chars "à" in "mise à jour" (==upgrade) and "è" in "système" (==system).

While searching for this error for kodi in general, I found the following link that might help fixing the issues : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=144677

Looks like a unicode thing, no ?

Well. the dialog says "xbian-config.common.clicktoload", but in fact I can't open anything. If I switch to the english locale, I can click everything - but I can't do that because of the 'WAF'...

To all xbian-config-xbmc error reports. The package is not being maintained at the moment. Until someone can pick it up again, we can't do anything with the errors.

Testing today, all categories are selectable.

So issue closed
