[Bug 632141] [NEW] No locale setting for mythtv-backend causes segfault scanning some media

 

Public bug reported:

I'm seeing the following crash while the mythtv backend is scanning
media:

 http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8878

Looks like it's (partly) due to mythbackend running without a UTF-8
locale; apparently the backend process needs one to work.

Adding the following to /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf fixes the segfault
for me:

env LC_ALL=en_AU.UTF-8

However, this is specific to my location, Is there something we can use
for a generic UTF-8 -enabled option?
