Crash when folder contains filenames with Windows encoding

[ocean]

What exactly is that bad output?

That no longer happens and problem was debug print in traschan.py, it contained filename. I don't know why traceback said "RecordTimer.py", nothing was wrong there.

Current debug log crash is this and it just tries to print "playing.." and filename

That crash was caused by something nasty in RecordTimer.py...?

Trying to log something.

The logging code should really trap this in case the caller doesn't (as they clearly all do not).

Current debug log crash is this and it just tries to print "playing.." and filename

And that goes via a print statement to the log. If filename is not valid utf8 (and there is no reason at all why it has to be unless the logging code has turned it into valid Unicode) then you'll get a crash.
We reached here earlier in the thread.
