VLC Plugin doesn't with foreign character names.

The VLC plugin (mostly)* works for me, except when I attempt to play a video with Korean (or Japanese or Chinese) characters in the filename or path. If I try, I get a black screen of nothingness until I hit esc.

The error log reads something like this.

[CODE]2008-02-17 15:29:09.250000 [ERROR][MPMain]: OnMessage exception:System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I'm running MediaPortal_0.2.3.0_Setup.exe, vlc-0.8.6d-win32.exe, videolan_0.9.682.mpi. This is using a stock Media Portal 0.2.3.0 or using a custom core.dll that allows directx to render extended characters. Same behavior both ways.

* The only other issues with the plugin are that the video does not show up fullscreen sometimes (hitting x twice fixes it), and that fast-forward and rewind are FUNKY. It gets to a spot, starts playing correctly for a moment, but a few seconds later it'll randomly jump to a different part of the video. Those are minor issues for me. The Korean character thing my main wish.

Thanks for the plugin! I hope this is something that's an easy fix.
