[RELEASE] XBMC Subtitles - Addon Script

I'm having trouble with the extension since upgrading from Dharma to Eden (using OpenElec: http://openelec.tv/). There is a bug report in the OpenElec github: https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues/511

Summary (extracted from https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues/511):

The extension was working flawlessly on Dharma, but after the update to beta 1.95.2 it stopped working. I figured out this would be an OpenElec-only problem when also upgrading a Windows XBMC install to Eden and noticing that the extension was working fine in that environment. Both installs (OpenElec and standard Windows XBMC) are using MySQL and shared Thumbnails (with pathsubstitution). My Windows install has python26.dll, while the OpenElec version has been upgraded to 2.7.3

From the user experience perspective, the subtitle download dialog just says "subtitles downloaded and extracted", but nothing really happen. The dialog does not stall or hang up, so you can just go back and continue watching the video (but with no subtitles whatsoever). The extension seems to be downloading the subtitles (the /.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.xbmc.subtitles/sub_tmp directory shows the dowloads and I can even tell the script is unpacking RAR or ZIP files), but it's unable to copy/move them to the target location.

Actually XBMC totally freeze at that step, and I have to restart it.

Both the password and the hostname have ASCII characters.

Yep, 100% ASCII. Let me try this and get back to you.

Ok, so this seems to be working in some cases, but not in all of them. Subtitles that are unzipped in the temp folder usually look like "New Girl 1x20 - Normal (Español (España)).srt" and are not successfully processed (so you are definitely narrowing down the encoding issue)
I'm using mainly two providers: OpenSubtitles.org and Subdivx (for Spanish subtitles both of them), and I've noticed that some filenames avoid non-ASCII characters and others don't.

Again, it seems you are going down the right path with the fix above... let me know if you want me to test any other modification.
