Subject: Setting mythbackend locale
Hello.

I'm using mythtv packaging (squeeze/armel) from
www-debian.multimedia.organd it is working fine. But I have find a
problem.

Yesterday I upgraded my packages and "locales" changed from 2.11.2-7 to
2.11.2-10 and mythbackend begun to be unable to see videos with special
characters in filename.

Searching in Google I found this:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/439348#439348 and also
this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/541042

<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/541042>I have
resolved my problem adding this line:
export LC_ALL="es_ES.UTF-8"

to my /etc/init.tc/mythtv-backend script.

The question is: Is this the correct way to pass the locale to mythbackend ?
What has changed that I now need to do this, but it was not needed before ?

This is my locale info:

LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


Thanks in advance.
