Unicode text in Playlists (.m3u8 UTF-8) (1 Viewer)

[Dadeo]

I cannot get MediaPortal to play songs with Unicode text in a playlist. The songs display and play perfectly using Shares or Artists view. But when I create a playlist it strips out the Unicode text (as in Björk the "ö" is missing) and it won't find the track.

I am guessing MediaPortal doesn't support the .m3u8 UTF-8 playlist format. If not, would it be easy to add this? Or has anyone found a way to make it work?

Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have.
