[goodlucknow]

have a workaround by adding .encode('ascii', 'ignore').decode('ascii') on video_title in line 36 of rteplayer.py file, not the most elegant solution...

Thank you for the bug report but as this is python 2 and rte_player targets python 3 I was tempted to mark this as won't fix as the issue is not present in python 3.

I found a quick fix though and have released 0.0.3 https://pypi.org/project/rteplayer-dl/0.0.3/ to address this issue. Please let me know if this fixes the problem for you.

[goodlucknow]

This does indeed fix the issue. The title gets changed in the process (e.g. filed saved as "Tríd an Lionsa") but the download doesn't fail as it did before. Thank you.
Apologies also, I hadn't realised my python version was outdated for the project.
Thank you for making this!

[philroche]

Yes, it does change the title and isn't as expected so I will leave this open.

But for now at least you are unblocked.
