Local media scanner UTF issue

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252-a78fef9a9 (unix/ubuntu 18)
Player Version#: does not matter.
Issue:
INFO (videohelpers:190) - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/data/MEDIA/Videos/something/Zsiros Deszka/20200428-Lomos Emberek Jap\xe1nban.mp4'

Or any UTF file name
Fix, or more likely a hack:
Plug-ins-a78fef9a9/LocalMedia.bundle/Contents/Code/videohelpers.py - comment out line 13:

def VideoHelpers(filename):
  # filename = helpers.unicodize(filename)
  Log('Opening file: ' + filename)

Please check.

Full DEBUG logs ZIP please which capture this failure?
(ERROR / INFO only is insufficient)

Can I send it in a private message? I am not willing to share my media lib details in a public file.
Also could you please specify which logs you need?

4

PM sent.

Send the entire ZIP, as downloaded.

Sorry, I completely forgot about this.
Since the last upate it happened again, so I ended up:

sed -i -e '/helpers.unicodize/ s/^#*/#/' /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-0fec14d92/LocalMedia.bundle/Contents/Code/videohelpers.py

Trying to find logs and will send.
