Extra characters in front of filename

Post by Tom P »

Downloads from Youtube yield extra characters in front of filename .. Hex E2 80 AA followed by correct filename.
I've tried both curl and wget with same result. You can actually see it on the wget terminal as a little dotted box
in front of the filename. This is not noticeable in a file browser and playing works fine (by clicking). Playing
in a command line, i.e. mplayer RedSkelton.flv results in a file not found but mplayer *.flv works fine.
Any help appreciated.

It should be a known and already fixed issue.
Please check latest development build 1.3.0.5rc1.
